Personally I wasn't a massive fan of it this morning, I didn't mind when he was chatting unless it was about 1D and we all knew who was going to be on the phone as soon as mentioned them. Beiber annoys me and I was in work by that time so didn't have to suffer hearing him. Far too much music to what ima used to, mind you last week Scott seemd to be massively music happy more than I usually remember him.

I'll give him a few more listens as it was only his first show and see how it goes from there, otherwise I'll be listening to Scott :)

I Actually looked at the music played. Scott played 31 last Monday. Grimmy played 21 songs this morning..... Random fact

Well I think it has been only a few days and Nick will grow into the role. If you can think back that far so did Chris like everything good it take time. Saying that I think so far so good. I like the show it is relaxed, fun and the music mix is just right. I loved The Chris Moyles Show and miss him but Nick is not bad at all. I feel that some people sould give him a break.

I've only caught Grimmy for a couple of mornings. I don't dislike the guy, but I'm afraid I'm off to R4 or R6 now. He simply isn't my cup of tea at 6.30 am.

Phew! Radio 1. You've got rid of yet another undesirable older listener.

Will still try to catch Scott when I can in the afternoon.

I have been with R2's Zoe Ball this week. Evans has been off, and will be off next week... so for the moment, I haven't listened to ANY of Grimshaw. Should be trying him out for the first time week beginning 15th October.... I suspect I will have to attempt to have Evans grow on me though, or try out R4 even.

What happens on R4 at a breakfast time?

Same here. Sad it has come to this. But hey... I just listen to Scott when I can - one or two days a week (mostly around a lunchtime).

Actually, I feel quite strongly it may take some time to actually forgive what R1 have done with Moyles.

The Today programme, with John Humphrys.

For what it's worth, I only heard Monday and Tuesday's shows, but I thought Nick did well. The features and format of the show will obviously take time to settle - they'll figure out what works and what doesn't - but he is a natural presenter and his general chat and flow is very good I think.

I've really enjoyed Grimmy's show! It hasn't been perfect and some of the features ought to go, I'm not mad on the Waking Up song or Four-Tunes but the rest is very good. He has a brilliant rapport with the guests. I'd like to hear more from Ian (who I seem to remember as being v.funny from Coxy's show), Fiona & Matt but at least they are on microphone now unlike the first show. All in all I think he's been really promising and I've enjoyed listening :)

Talking about the show features. Wheel of Four-Tunes is good but needs work it needs a point. Nick's Tape is poor rip off and has no point with the Golden Hour you had to gest the year, it also had that link with radio 1 history and the tunes had that feel good pop factor that has a friday feel good feeling. Call or Delete is great and funny, I would say I am not sure how long Nick can do it before his phone book stopped playing along. There is that one with The Quiz Bot I can't think of its name, I think it will grow the Bot needs some more lines.

As for other features I can't think of the other right now but I give the features a good base but could do better.

    • Yep I really struggled with Matt & Jamie which was a shame as otherwise really like Matt. Unfortunately it comes across on-air whether it's actually try or not that Jamie doesn't know a lot about radio and doesn't seem particularly desperate to improve either or if I'm being generous he's playing an act - neither of which particularly appeals. The everyman act can sometimes work but you need to have that natural likability and appeal for it to do so in the way that way Chris Stark did. I mean even towards the end of his stint with Matt Jamie was struggling with getting the Whatsapp number right which is a basic.
    • Have to say even if there is a good reason for Jamie to be off on Thursdays the optics of them a month in still not be able to do a 'normal week' of the scheduled team for a brand new show isn't great. And if Jamie was meant to be away on Thursdays clearly nobody let whoever runs BBC Sounds know. Who would've guessed from the Vick & Jordan days though that it would be Vick who's the everpresent so far (just kidding Vick - really rate her as a DJ and I know she has a lot of other engagements outside of Radio 1).
    • Sorry explain what you mean there please? Danny is unlistenable?? 
    • I dunno if it is me but even Vick and Katie don't sound as good in that slot alone as they did before. Maybe I have just fallen out of love with it all.
    • Agree with most of this above. Listening to only vick and katie today, I was thinking that it doesn't need Jamie. Its very jarring how sometimes he's there and sometimes he isn't. I don't think it needs to be a trio. Surely there are bigger problems at the moment, Danny on a pretty big slot on the station is literally unlistenable.
    • Yes, the length of the time on the station does help as with Annie Mac she did what dance specialist DJs kind of get a bit more favourability with the evening listeners who start out on something specialist. With Annie Mac she did years on dance before going to the flagship new music specialist programme with giving opportunities to new DJs and curating the playlist and having something different from Clara’s more music daytime show where she had to work with the playlist. Had she done more time doing a specialist show later on in the schedule it may have oddly made the moment bigger. Think sometimes what has helped create such a unique sound in presenters and personalities like Annie Mac, Jack and Grimmy for example starting out doing a late show with looser format. Think for the next Jack, Annie and Clara’s of the station do need to have a late live slot and do hope when radio 1 relax is shut down that maybe they change the power down playlist for something with bit more freedom.
    • She is a good broadcaster no doubts but am of the same page with feelings mutual.
    • Clara was always a decent, competent and even good music radio presenter. But equally, she never provoked really strong emotions in me that I must listen or must switch off.
    • Jamie is definitely very divisive though.  Some people's "radio comedy gold" is other people's "unlistenable".  I have liked Matt and Mollie, Matt on his own, Mollie and Jordan etc etc.  But couldn't listen to Matt with Jamie. No hate on Jamie but I just don't like his sense of humour.
    • The dynamics of this are interesting.  Jordan works best with people he knows and he already knows Chris and Sian so from day one it should sound fairly natural.  
    • Have an amazing birthday Scott!  Looking forward to Tuesday! 
    • This has to be a joke right. This is so Scott Mills 🤣
