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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radio1fan 27 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 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 thinkI 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.

dawntreader 10 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 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?

gregjames94 10 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 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! Quote hello Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingTutsWWH 10 Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 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. Quote 'To disagree with three-fourths of the British public is one of the first requisites of sanity'.

KingTutsWWH 10 Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 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.

KingTutsWWH 10 Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Triple post!!! Sorry Jono, I've forgotten how to use UM. Spiderman and his girlfriend's Gypsy Kings' Bamboleo made me laugh.

GLK29 10 Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Scott & Chris are on top form. The show is upbeat and sounding great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OohErr 231 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 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. #TheUltimateInPedantryThe 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan12 55 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OohErr 231 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkies 12 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 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.

DC 86 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 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. Quote on the grid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niena 11 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 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.

Electrobix 12 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

That's your opinion, don't try and dress it up. When's Scott's contract up actually ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OohErr 231 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 April 2015, so assuming he stays until the end, we've got about a year of Mills on R1 left (unless he renews his contract of course, but he's said this is probably his last one).

steve24 10 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
