Radio 2 in the Park 2024

[Rob]

Hello all!

It's been a while since I've visited here. I remember when people used to write about their meetings with Scott while the rest of us read with envy, I'm not sure if that's still the done thing? I'm going to write mine anyway.

So a couple of months ago I got a job in the BBC Shop in New Broadcasting House (Come by and say hello please!) so I've spotted Scott around the building, rode the lift with him but never said anything! Yesterday he came into the shop with a guest (wasn't sure who he was) to buy some Radio 1 merch. We were having the standard shop assistant/ customer chat but I noticed that he kept glancing at my ID badge. After a while I asked him if he recognised me and he asked "Are you off of the Internet? Unofficial Mills? You did those videos!"

Surprisingly he didn't immediately flee but was genuinely nice and amazing, asked how I was finding the job and said I was on the right path to a radio job. I told him I'm now trying to play down the whole Guru thing (those who weren't here back then, it's still on YouTube!) but he told me that we all start from somewhere.

And that was it! A genuine Mills encounter and after the meeting I kind of feel he is worried less about a weird kid on YouTube stalking him. Although we're now colleagues ;p

Good that he recognised you in the end. The guru thing was funny
