The Radio 1 breakfast show with Scott Mills

Back Monday 7th April all week

The Matt Edmondson show will be on at 1pm

Grimmy always takes a break in april.He likes to go to the Coachella festival in the USA. The fact Matt is sitting in for Scott all week removes any doubt that he has taken over from Huw as the main stand in for Scott, which is good I think

I agree with the previous post that Matt is now primary stand in for scott, because since he moved to weekends, I've listened to him more and more and his show is very like Scott's.

I really hope that Dev is the main stand in for Greg James, rather than Huw Stephens (as much as I love him!) After Dev moves to weekends, how will he get back on during the week if Scott stands in for Grimmy, Gemma stands in for Fearne, Matt stands in for Scott and Huw is in for Greg?

While painting a lot lately I've listened to plenty of radio, fearne's shoe has very little content, it's fine just could be improved, just cus it's a music show doesn't mean it can't have more personality! Scott's show sounds so good ATM!!! Greg's show is actually very bland! Listening to Huw on Friday was a surprisingly a better listen than Greg on Thursday, Huw has improved a lot! Greg as much as I love him has slowed a little!

Hello.

Just wanted to make a brief appearance on here to confess that the boyf (Timsk) and I haven't listened to Scott for rather a long time. My apologies, but his time schedule changes didn't work for us. We have however thoroughly enjoyed tuning in to him again a bit in the morning this week and look forward to next week too. He beats Melvyn Bragg on Radio 4 hands down.

I also approve of Huw. If you have DAB, Lauren Laverne on Radio 6 plays much more interesting music than Fearne at the same time, mind you it is older stuff as opposed to chart tunes. It's a good station. Give it a try.

It seems like Scott's playing a lot of music for breakfast standards- 6 or so songs per half-hour. It's rather strange, because he just ends up talking for too long and starting songs when it should be time for the news. #TheUltimateInPedantry

The shows great though, I was laughing aloud to myself in bed at "go open a window Gary"- brilliant! Also I loved the One Direction-Bamboleo/Newsbeat Remixes.

I guess he finds it difficult trying to match the afternoon show's top quality with the constant reminders of Newsbeat. Personally I think there is too much news between 0630-0930. The only real break that Grimmy or Scott get is between 0830-0930. If you think about it, there is always 2 songs after the news which average 8 mins then 2 before the news which also average 8 mins leaving DJ's a similar amount of time to talk and do their features

I don't think that's it, because on afternoons the show is still divided up into half hour segments, just instead of the news and two songs on the hour they have three songs, which leaves about the same amount of time. I'm sure Grimmy doesn't play as much music as Scott has in the last two weeks, oh well...

Breakfast has been really good the past couple of weeks. A shame it finishes tomorrow :(

Its become more apparent this week that Scott's show is sounding so good at the moment, much better than the usual breakfast show. In fact, Radio 1 in general has been good on daytime this week. Matt has been great filling in for Scott!

Scott on breakfast, Alice mid morning (think Fearne's show starting to sound a bit samey), Matt on afternoons and Greg on drive time would be a really good daytime lineup IMO, but will never happen though.

Heard a bit this morning, sounds much better than the norm that's on there.. It's always the slot he should of had but never did. Then I guess Moyles and Mills being at Radio 1 the same time as each other, it was either one or the other.

on the grid.

Excellent two weeks of breakfast. Scott being outstanding at what he does aside, his team really does come up with entertaining content at daily basis without fail. I usually listen to his podcasts while walking to work, and I always end up having to stare at the floor more than once to avoid being seen laughing. It was good to listen to him live for a change.

I know this is a Scott Mills site but... I think this last two weeks has really shown his show to be past it - it's trying too hard to be young. The whole thing sounds contrived / scripted and the constant repetition is really irritating. I've been mostly listening to other shows this fortnight - I can't wait for Grimmy to come back. Sorry!

I couldn't agree more.

Many people in the radio buisness this week have said they think Scott "could have ended this week". His show is now been going to long.

Time for a move to Radio 2, which would be great.

I can't wait for Grimmy to be back, I hope he is ok.

Oh I almost forgot to say that I also know loads of people in the radio industry who've been saying that the show is sounding brilliant and that he's on top form.

That's your opinion, don't try and dress it up.

When's Scott's contract up actually ?

it would be great if Scott got a weekday slot on radio 2,maybe replacing Ken Bruce or something. That would probably set him up for the next 30 years or so. I wonder if and when we might start hearing Scott do the occasional cover work on radio 2 like Coxy did in her last couple of years on radio 1

I can't wait till Scott on BBC Radio 2

But he won't just jump onto the weekdays.

It will be a few years before he gets a weekday show

    • I must admit a broad smile to myself when I got in the car just after 1pm today and realised I'd timed it perfectly to avoid Danny! Just listened back to that earlier link, just horrific and what's worse is that Danny doesn't seem to have improved even vaguely since the first show. As Greg20 said, the show is being driven by a producer which makes the mess even less excusable.
    • The shows surely being driven for him so all he has to do is talk between the tracks and he can’t get even get that right 
    • I thought the same to that comment, the license fee is going on me babes 
    • What with Jamie Laing, now him. Is it time for a new Head of the station?
    • He also just said coming up we have brand new segment, I thought they were a band 🤣 how did this man get on Radio 1? Aled needs his head testing. It’s an insult people who deserve to be on the radio 
    • Of all the times not mention capital it's probably now? Jordan is flying on breakfast with chris & sian and there's a presenter on friday and saturday that doesn't know who a main r1 artist, tldp are. Mentions capital which surely has to be a big no no given recent events and then says the licence fee goes to me. Talk about vom. We can't have it on here no more as it's that unlistenable and I'm about to switch back for m&m, but this is a Maya Jama x50 level mess of a show. Forget fading the microphone down, the entire show needs fading down
    • As positives go, at least Danny said what the last song played was and upcoming song played was. Plus I guess in that link are perhaps ideas for content (asking listeners to come up with bands from things around them, things that have happened to them this week). That's where's the positives end. It comes across as no thought has gone into what Danny will say next. It gives me proper flashbacks to some Jamie Laing links (especially that one show where he was unexpectedly solo). It's ironic that for all the duos and trios on the station - the one show and DJ that is positively crying out for another DJ to help show them the ropes is left all solo. At least with Jamie Laing they learnt their lesson and he's not been left solo since.
    • How he was just faded out at the end of the link reminded me of the Oscars music fading you out 
    • RPReplay_Final1713612277.mp4   You’re welcome
    • At a time when Radio 1 has surely lost listeners to Capital at Breaktast you’d be trying to protect the station so people switch back.  Certainly yesterday I didn’t switch back to Radio 1 at all.
    • Was abysmal…Surely Danny can’t be a contender for anything permanent when the new schedules are locked in I.e Matt and Mollies slot 
    • Alexandra Burke creating the phrase 'Elephant In The Room' whooooooooo
    • Zane Versus.... Whooooooooo. Do You Do Fridays? WhooOOOooo.  
    • The Capital Breakfast show is right up my street so far - such a fun listen. You've both been great on Radio 1 and are sounding excellent again on Capital A few quickfire questions: You've both been part of some great pairings on radio and on podcast - what goes into making a duo or trio work and sound great on air? Also, Chris - were there ever any discussions about you moving over to Radio 2 with Scott or had the Global offer already come first? Also how do you both go about managing that split between your radio 'you' and the private 'you'? You share a lot on air but also there's some understandably some stuff you keep private (famously Jordan doesn't 'talk about those things'). And how do you make sure if you're having a miserable day or are a bit low that it doesn't come across too much on air?    
    • What a nightmare link at 11.15am this morning. Spent 30 seconds waffling about the name of The Last Dinner Party as if he’d never heard it before, then started mentioning Capital and the license fee, and how it’s been used to pay for him to be there, and was then cut off by the start of the next song.
