So, Scott's on the breakfast show for the next two weeks. We've already been promised a brand new When Chris Meets..... . They'll never top the Mila Kunis one but hopefully it's a bit better than the Robert Downey Jnr one.

Also, guests including Mark Wahlberg, Tara Reid, McLovin off of Superbad and Rizzle Kicks on Innuendo Bingo!

Tune in (or if, like me, you're on holidays -catch up on iPlayer) to the Radio 1 Breakfast Show with Scott for the next two weeks! :)

Some pretty good guests. They didn't always go down well on Scott's shows but there appears to be a notable lack of them on afternoons.

Good to have him on mornings.

The Scott v Chris stuff seems quite a simple concept, and reminiscent of Oh What's Occurring, but a feature that could inject something positive into the show.

I *really* dislike guests on Radio 1. Maybe it's because I'm a radio geek and enjoy the chat amongst the R1 staff, but they never live up to the OTT hype given to them, and often ruin a show which is spent as a 2 hour build up to a dull 15 minute interview - Matt had to fill today as Faser was about 30 minutes late and then boring on air, which let down an otherwise good show. Often (as is the case this week) the guests aren't even that notable - or are known to be awkward to interview (Mark Wahlberg).

Matt is really good on 1-4 slot this week. I really enjoyed his Innuendo Bingo replacement 'Firing Blanks', it's uploaded on Youtube if you haven't seen it.

Yeah I really enjoyed Matt today although would like some more just general chat, he's best when bouncing of someone like a guest, so a chat with his producer or something would be good as he rely's heavily on the features, although I did really enjoy the show and am looking forward to the next two weeks!

So since its been on the show, own up people who actually still has posters on their wall?

I'll admit I do, but it's been up so long the blu tack has stained my wall & looks awful if I take it down. Unfortunately no money to re wallpaper!

Did anyone catch Scott having to continue on til after 11am on Friday? Sara had to tend to her husband's dislocated shoulder. This has happened a few times in the last year. Annie Mac with Danny Howard covering for a while. Also Chris Stark when Huw was late a few weeks ago.

i know, always provides great radio of the presenter having to quickly read notes meant for a different presenter. Although Scott and Chris did a very good job! Such professionals and always good entertainment, even with Scott complaining about being on air for 4 and a half hours haha

hello

    • Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?
    • Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.
    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.
    • With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now 
    • Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday. 
    • As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
    • Nat and Vicky are being sent to Ibiza this year. They’ll be live on Friday 1st August from 1-4pm.     
    • Since Radio 1 Dance and Anthems have been allowed to broadcast on DAB, do we think they’ll be a proper schedule of shows like on Radio 1 Dance with the morning show and Dance Anthems at drive time. Maybe Lauren Redfern, Tyler Selby, Chrissy Cameron or Matt Hallsworth will be scheduled on named shows like Hits Radio 00s or Capital Anthems rather than the generic ‘Radio 1 Anthems’ show. Obviously it would probably cost more to produce actual shows on the station however.
    • There's been a lot of positive reaction to the Mylo and Rosie news so am interested now to hear what their shows are like. And yep wouldn't be surprised if they stay on beyond July as cover ever so often. And that Friday-Sunday news was hidden in the small print a little. It presumably means we lose Party Anthems all that month as that is what has happened this year with Big Weekend, Glasto for example. I certainly I hope it isn't Party Anthems being quietly axed full stop - it and Future Pop are 2 real hidden gems on Radio 1. 
    • I’m pleased for Mylo and Rosie, they were highly thought of in our local area and definitely worthy of that slot
