Last time as "The Matt Edmondson Show"* tomorrow before it becomes "Matt and Mollie" next week.

* Not called that on air anymore but nice that they still called it that on the online schedule

Are we thinking the chart will get a whole new imaging package come Friday? The current theme debuted in 2015 I think so it would make sense for a refresh.

RIP. I still miss the Wednesday night version of The Matt Edmondson Show - it was like nothing I'd ever heard before, or since. So creative, and so funny.

I hope so! It’s about time!

It was pure epicness even with that magpie always stealing the CDs with Matt's best features.

"We'll cobble something together".

Not to forget Gary the Psychic Moth, Funty the Fun Time Puppet Pal, Warwick Hunt (the BBC's Head of Editorial Compliance), Peter Spendthrift (Radio 1's original Money Saving Expert) and Tim the Twitter Trending Expert. Plus Matt's Rich Uncle Alan, Doc Beige and Taio Cruz's secret diary. It was only one hour once a week for 18 months, and yet it had so many memorable moments.

It would really suit the 3am comedy slot, they should bring it back.

Oh yes*, I love all of these, but couldn't name them all even if I tried. I can add one though: the fake BBC Three promos which always sounded real for a few moments, and these "shows" were always hosted by the same "former Atomic Kitten member", that was where I always lost it. Saved a few episodes back then, I might give them a listen when I can.

*YAAAAAAASS!

Ah, the old Wednesday night Matt Edmondson Show. I miss it too, it was the first radio show that I made sure that I didn't miss each week. Still one of the best things I've ever heard.

Dev has been sounding good covering the 8th recently – still entertaining without the I-want-the-whole-universe-to-hear-me shouting. He makes the show much more listenable.

Jordan is covering for Matt with Mollie that Friday, guessing they want the same person both days for continuity.

Jordan is also covering for Matt with Mollie for the rest of the weekend and so Cel is doing Jordans Greatest Hits Show. Jordan is also covering Adele on Monday and Tuesday and possibly all week because Adele is covering Clara’s Show. 

Posted

So, the schedule for week 1 of Greg's break is up - Will Best on earlies, Grimmy still on breakfast, Adele in for Clara, Jordan in for Scott (for the first time ever - wonder if Chris will be with him?) and Dev and Alice in for Greg. Adele back on early breakfast on the Friday though, and Dev and Alice doing Friday breakfast as well. Not sure who's doing the chart yet.

Is Scott on holiday or something? I’d imagine they might br saving Matt and Mollie for when Scott and Chris are on breakfast for Grimmy and then they’ll do Scott’s Show. I think Jordan will probably do the chart on Friday.

Its funny looking at schedule 

Says "Jordan in for Scott" and "Adele in for Clara" yet on drive just says "Dev and Alice" presume as after next Thursday it's not Greg's show anymore so it will be the funny interim period when it's no ones show - Same thing happened when Moyles left and Scott covered "a breakfast show with no name" 

Wonder if Scott covers the weeks after Grimmy finishes then he will use the standard Jingle package for the breakfast show he has or will he use his standard afternoon ones in readiness for a new package for Greg

Ahh, that’s why Matts not on at all then. The DJs all decide to take their time off at the same time don’t they? They were all here for the last 6 weeks and now they’re all gone.

    • 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 
    • Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday. 
    • As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
    • Nat and Vicky are being sent to Ibiza this year. They’ll be live on Friday 1st August from 1-4pm.     
    • Since Radio 1 Dance and Anthems have been allowed to broadcast on DAB, do we think they’ll be a proper schedule of shows like on Radio 1 Dance with the morning show and Dance Anthems at drive time. Maybe Lauren Redfern, Tyler Selby, Chrissy Cameron or Matt Hallsworth will be scheduled on named shows like Hits Radio 00s or Capital Anthems rather than the generic ‘Radio 1 Anthems’ show. Obviously it would probably cost more to produce actual shows on the station however.
    • There's been a lot of positive reaction to the Mylo and Rosie news so am interested now to hear what their shows are like. And yep wouldn't be surprised if they stay on beyond July as cover ever so often. And that Friday-Sunday news was hidden in the small print a little. It presumably means we lose Party Anthems all that month as that is what has happened this year with Big Weekend, Glasto for example. I certainly I hope it isn't Party Anthems being quietly axed full stop - it and Future Pop are 2 real hidden gems on Radio 1.
