Who's Been Stealing Scott's Ideas?

[OohErr 232]

Scott mentioned a couple of times last week that a DJ on another station has started borrowing Scott's Ideas, including a lengthy chat about it on Friday's Real or No Real.

I think it was Will Manning on Capital London. He's been using Korean Billy as well (as did Chris Moyles yesterday).

Any other suggestions as to who it could be?

During that chat, I seem to remember Chris saying someone on Radio 1 was nicking features that they weren't happy about and the only feature I could think of was the rubbish version of Bangers on the breakfast show.

I doubt it. Korean Billy was an internet thing so he's fair game for other presenters to use- he wasn't an original Mills idea like Timmy Trendy, for example.  I'd imagine it's more the rip-offs of Innuendo Bingo they do on Australian radio, in particular.

Yeah might have been a slight dig at their old producer Will Foster, who's arrival on the breakfast show coincided with the introduction of the rip-off of Bangers, funnily enough!

There was also the thing with Matt Edmondson but I think that was a deliberate on-air thing.

Grimmy's going to see the new Fifty Shades film with Alan Carr tonight.

A Radio 1 DJ going to see Fifty Shades of Grey with a much older and eccentric celebrity - what an original idea!

Will Manning just wished Ed Sheeran a happy birthday, and played that clip of the slightly rubbish happy birthday trumpet Scott plays.

I did hear that idea where Scott leaves two listeners on the phone together and they have to awkwardly chat to each other like they're on a date on Will Manning's show first tbf. Anyway, it happens all the time in the radio industry where ideas are "borrowed"

Stealing good stuff is better than inventing bad stuff

Been dipping in and out over half term. Scott's excellent, every show feels like a show.

It shows that they're really at the top of their game - but really, that's how every show on Radio 1 should be - envied by other presenters, unattainable fun with equally unattainable listening figures.

Love Scott and Chris every day I listen when I can, specially in the gym in afternoons, it is a proper show and it seems to be getting better

Shame they cant be on breakfast, but then if they were I would not be able to listen as often as I can now
