On Thursday 14 March, The BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show with Nick Grimshaw will be attempting to raise as much money as possible for Comic Relief in a three-and-half-hour show.

From 6.30am, Nick will be joined by a whole host of guests who he will call on to do some weird and wonderful things to help raise money for Red Nose Day. Listeners can watch all the action live on the red button and on the Radio 1 website throughout the morning.

Some of the guests confirmed so far include David Walliams, Little Mix, Jessie J, Conor Maynard, Rizzle Kicks, Union J, Louis Smith, Claudia Winkleman and Wretch 32 – with more to be announced shortly.

Radio 1 will be inviting as many people as possible to join the effort to raise money. All the money raised can help change lives forever across the UK and Africa. Listeners can donate on the day by texting the word ‘HELP’ to 70005 or by visiting bbc.co.uk/radio1. Texts costs £5 plus your standard network message charge. Donators must be 16 years or older and have the bill payer’s permission. Full terms and conditions are available on the website.

Nick Grimshaw says: “I’m really excited to be so heavily involved in Comic Relief this year – I can’t wait to do a mega show and hopefully raise a lot of money for charity!”

Andy Worrell , Editor of the Radio 1 Breakfast Show with Nick Grimshaw, says: “We’re putting together an exciting three-and-a-half hours full of adventure and fun, all to raise money for brilliant causes in Africa and right here in the UK. Expect to see some amazing surprise guests throughout the show too!"

So Chris Moyles can climb a mountain and do 52 hours on air but his replacement just gets some celebrity guests on the show and effectively gets a much easier show out of it. Hate Grimmy.

I think that you're being more than a tad harsh here. The big 'adventure' challenges seem to be shared among the DJs, Chris and Fearne did Killi, Scott did the dessert and Greg did the boats this year. I think it was probably too soon in his reign for Grimmy to do one of those this year but I'm sure his time will come, probably next time! He could never try to do anything like what Chris and Dave did in 2011, it's too soon. So I think this is about right, he's promoting Comic Relief (He's actually doing lots of stuff for them, he did the Brand gig, the Norton show and will be presenting 'on the night'!). Perhaps it could have been a little 'bigger', maybe on OB or atleast in The Radio Theatre.

Also why on Thursday and not Friday?

      Scott v Matt and Mollie

      By xxladybarefootxx · Posted

      I quite quickly gave up on Scott’s show on R2 as I realised it wasn’t my kind of vibe. I do listen to the Scott Mills weekly to catch up, because I still think Scott is great, but there is just something missing (for example, he played out some clips recently of the old sleep recording app from the R1 days, and didn’t play ‘go and open the window Garry’ - or if he did, it didn’t make it to the podcast.) I don’t see them changing it now or making it any ‘younger’ than it is.   Matt & Mollie in the afternoon is something that I’m really looking forward to. They are such an interesting and funny listen. It has given me a different dilemma though, as 1pm has been the perfect time for me to catch up on the Capital breakfast show and takes me perfectly to the end of my working day, so now I’ll probably have to forego listening to that and stick with R1 for Matt & Mollie. These shows need podcasts because it’s already giving me fomo.

      Even for the older Radio 1 listeners (of which there are still quite a few) Scott’s show doesn’t feel quite right.  (That’s nothing on Scott who sounds good but more the station sound and content). Since moving to Capital Breakfast I haven’t been listening to much Radio 1.  I always found the shows outside of Breakfast and Drive more wallpaper due to my working day and the show content of RMC and Dean and Vicky so Capital is just background noise to me after enjoying Breakfast.

      I love Scott but if you're a 20 or 30 something that enjoyed his last few years of Radio 1 the Radio 2 show just doesn't translate. Stars from Neighbours or 90s singers just aren't my cup of tea and I can't get enthused about some has been at Radio 2 in the Park or some country music countdown.  Until that changes I will probably more likely listen to Matt and Mollie.  The Steve Wright fans think Radio 2 has turned into Radio 1 but it has a long way to go to win over the older R1 audience.

      Radio 2 brought in Scott to bring the afternoon audience age down, but I feel with Matt and Mollie replacing Dean and Vicky they're going to be competing for a similar audience. Will Scott's show evolve to bring in more listeners or do you think they will be comfortable with the audience they currently have?

      Yes I'm the same with 6Music. Huw Stephens offers something different.

      They are an answer. I do listen to 6 Music quite a bit but kind of feel like it isn’t for me unlike the New Music Fix Daily, Huw Stephens who I’d happily listen to. Think it’s a generational thing and music preference. But it’s like how 1 Xtra cut down Snoochie Shy’s nightly show to just Monday and with Wednesday and Thursday with just playlist programme. I just miss the days of having more choice of that time of night.

      Practically speaking, Riley & Coe on 6Music is the answer to that problem - but I get your overall point.

      Yes and thats the huge selling point after 6pm as always has been in the evening. As when I started listening to radio 1 about eleven twelve years ago its the station that got me into music new and familiar artists and bands. I think the issue with a lot of the new music shows being crammed in length of the shows and not all is live there’s less chance for a presenter to tell you about the band or artist or have the impression of chatting to the listener by reading out texts and emails or including voice notes. I’m really enjoying Jack Saunders’ new music show as thats how you do a show like that on Radio 1 good mix of genres but from 10pm onwards you don’t have the presenter chatting to the listener or that live feel as sometimes you need at that time.

      Given one of yesterday’s ‘bangers’ was Noah Kahan’s Stick Season, I doubt it.

      How has it been working early mornings as a parent, Chris? Is it harder to juggle than the 1-4 slot?

      I still think Dua Lipa could make the line-up. She's in the Live Lounge soon. Would be a scoop if they had two of the key Glastonbury performers.

      Is the three bangers after nine idea meant to compete with Ten Minute Takeover?

      But if Radio 1's big selling point is new music it's strange. Clara fell a bit flat in comparison to her predecessors because she wasn't shaped in the same way as Annie or Zane.
