Has anyone else listened and watched any of the G in the Park stuff on Greg's show this week? If so, what are your thoughts?

Thought it was a really good week of shows, particularly liked the late night stuff online with them all sat around the camp "fire" chatting. Also good to see and hear more from the production team too. Hope they do it again next year.

I loved it!

I love how good it looked on Red Button, with all the camera- Scotland did make a good TV production with the Radio 1 team- and Kenny!

Overnight was good, and heading Pippa, Travis, and Tom talk was brilliant.

I may have watched the overnight coverage for few hours/3 hours a night!

I agree with you, I thought it was very entertaining and great radio overall. Shows the very hard work of Pippa and Travis and whoever else behind the scenes to put such good shows together and come up with all that content.

I think it's a shame Chris didn't go- I feel his presence always adds something. Is it to do with the fact that he's BBC Staff, or just on this occasion Newsbeat didn't let him go?

Really thought it was one of the best things Radio 1 have done for a while. Reminded me more of things they used to do a few years ago. In fact, had reminders of Scott Cam watching it a bit. Greg definitely has a great production team behind him, and they seem to have great chemistry together. Full marks to all of them.

Yeah, it was a shame that Chris Smith couldn't go, but I'm guessing it is because of being part of Newsbeat.

Just noticed on Radio 1's YouTube channel they've put on nights 1, 2 and 4 in full. They're 11 hours long! Nice to see them put the full live camera shows on instead of just the best bits. May give them a watch for bits that I missed.

Fearne has just announced that Greg will be not be on air today which is very unstandable considering what he has done over the last week. Fearne stated 'exhaustion' as the reason for his absence. Dev will sit in from 4pm

Greg is a worthy successor to Scott. Can't wait to see what his breakfast show is like !

    • Richie Anderson in for Rylan tomorrow.
    • Mylo and Rosie said at the end of their show today that they would also be on Early Breakfast on Thursday 24th July (even though the schedule still says Dean)
    • James is in for Dean from Monday 11th to Thursday 14th August. Dean is in for Greg from Monday 11th to Friday 15th August. Jaguar is in for Sarah on Friday 15th August.
    • Tara Kumar is in for Alyx on Sunday 13th July.
    • Conor Knight & Lauren Layfield are in for Matt & Mollie on Monday 14th July.  Matt is solo on Tuesday 15th July.  Jerry is in for Mollie between Wednesday 16th & Thursday 24th July.  Maia Beth is covering Future Pop on Wednesday 16th & Wednesday 23rd July. On Sunday 27th July the Chillest Show is reduced to an hour, and 20.00-21.00 is a BBC Proms special with JADE. On Thursday 31st July 18.00-20.00 in place of Jack's show it's the Dance Party Warm-Up with Danny Howard (ahead of the Ibiza weekend).
    • Dean McCullough in for Greg w/c 4th August. James Cusack on EB.
    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • 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
