Radio 1's Ibiza Anthem

Scott was pretty good on breakfast; it goes without saying that Scott goes on with Chris now which is reassuring. Not sure why he left ICYMI though? That's irrelevant. Sorry.

Did he? He's still on the iPlayer page.

Did he? He's still on the iPlayer page.

Oh. Do you like it?

Oh, and in regards to Pete Allisson, I've listened to his Capital Yorkshire show, and it's just like any other Capital show - minimal personality, short bland links. Which is a shame. I think Pete could be good. Maybe he does need another chance at Radio 1, although his Capital contract might stop that. Go on Ben Cooper. Be brave. Take a risk. Poach him. Like Andy Parfitt brought in Chris Moyles in from Capital Radio in 1997. Bring in some new talent from a radio background. I urge you.

Only ever watched it once ages ago to be honest. Seems like a good idea though.

Phil said on his Twitter that as a result of an Easter mishap, he's concussed. Hence DOUBLE DEV! WOOOOOO! I'm listening, and it's weird hearing Dev in proper music mode, I'm wondering if he's ever heard of most of the music he's playing, but I'm quite enjoying it anyway.

If I were Izzie Clarke, I would have put in tremendous effort to that show

Dev will be doing drivetime from Thursday to Friday week

So it looks like Dev's also in for Huw again tonight, this time because Phil's in for Annie instead of Huw who should be in for Annie (still following?).

This is great news for me, I think Dev handled the specialist slot brilliantly yesterday, in that one show he did a better job of convincing me that he actually listens to new music than Fearne has ever managed over the last five years. The situation reminded me a bit of Grimmy when he was on nightimes, which was basically a daytime show with a free playlist broadcast in the evenings.

It's certainly a game of musical chairs with the schedule at the moment! One for the nerds, I have figured out that between 26 March - 19 April, Dev will have done 45 hours of radio. That's quite a lot of overtime for someone contracted to be on air for just 8! Phil Taggart, between 29 March and 19 April will have done 38. Dev and Phil are certainly flying the flag for Radio 1 at the moment!

[OohErr 231]

Those are some impressive stats. Dev is a stalwart for Radio 1 (even if it is by his own admission only because he has nothing better to do). I love me a bit of Dev I do.

Is Clara ill as well? She's off again on Sunday
