The Scott Mills Show Discussion Thread


OohErr

Recommended Posts

Another great Big Top 40 dig on last Thursday's show - Good News Jamie was talking about how Chris isn't credited for the show and Scott says "there's a certain presenter who does a chart show, she doesn't even get mentioned does she?"

What do we think of Good News Jamie - great comedy value or annoying and totally milking it? At the moment I think I'm the former although if they do it too many times it could quickly become the latter.

After talking about greg all day, I completely forgot and didn’t manage to listen to Jordan and Chris until I saw a clip online just now. Did anyone get to listen to them together and how did they work together? They seemed to be getting along well from the small snippets that I saw!

I had a listen for a while, it was actually really good! They had a really good rapport considering they've never really broadcast together before. I might even go as far as saying they're better together than Matt and Chris were... I think personality wise they're a much better match.

Just caught the bit of Scott and Chris's chat about which animal does Scott look like. Before Scott said what he thinks he looks like, I shouted: MEERKAT. 

Two conclusions:
1. He really does resemble a meerkat, who the hell texted that he looks like a wombat?
2. I'm really way too invested in that show and should get on with my life.

I think Scott’s producer Mark Lockett may have left the show judging by his Twitter. I have noticed a slight difference in the show in the last couple of weeks but I don’t know who the new producer is! 

Mark has definitely left - he's returned to Absolute Radio where he's the exec producer of the Dave Berry Breakfast Show. Will Wilkin (@WillWilkin) is Scott's new producer, with Grace as AP I believe.

I do wonder whether she might have gone to Matt and Mollies show since they need a new producer now Will has gone. 

This is very clutching at straws, but some of the stuff they’ve done on the show in the last couple of weeks sounds lots like the Chris Sawyer era of Matts Show - and since Grace was with him for the last couple of years, she may have got some inspiration!!

If the rumor mill is believed to be true could be the heart breakfast announcement we heard before Christmas, but would the BBC big that up? they didn't with Evans or Moyles for example they just came out with it on air 

I reckon this is Bingo, or Big weekend coming back 

Maybe Bingo is back and Zoe is the first guest

Oh god. Really hope it isn't. 

Surely they wouldn't make big plans for Bingo to come back only to shelve them because Scott's leaving instead? Unless the whole "big plans for Innuendo Bingo" thing was a bluff and they were just buying time. Really think it would be a big mistake for Mills to jump ship and go back to Heart - he's got a job for life at the BBC. Besides, he's only just got the chart - he's dreamed of that since he was a kid, I don't think he'd give that up so soon.

I reckon the announcement will be about Comic Relief - perhaps they have big plans for that, like another LOLathon or something bigger. Or a huge guest coming on soon. I hope. 

I've done a bit of research, and exactly six years ago today the show was also called "Scott's big announcement", when it was announced Beccy was leaving. There was also "a BIG show announcement" in May last year (can't remember what it was though).

Could the big show announcement in May have been that Maya was joining on Fridays! What a disaster that was!!

If it’s not big weekend or innuendo bingo, then I’m thinking it must be something for comic relief! Or something completely unexpected like Chris leaving - but I don’t thin k it will be that!

    • It’s not necessarily the fact that Jamie is posh. It’s that the show seems to be really keen to play on it. Within 10 minutes of their first show they were playing voice notes from his Celeb mates. Compare that to Vick and Jordan’s first week in September 2021; their first links were about Jordan’s awkward encounter with his plumber and Vick slapping a roast chicken.    And then on Monday this week, Jamie is sulking (exaggerated sulking admittedly) about something, this ultimately being that another of his celeb mates has cancelled his appearance on their show, and they’re literally reading out texts such as ‘I’m sure this is going to be relatable to the entire population.’
    • That’s a last minute change!
    • Jordan, Greg, they’re down to earth. That’s what makes them resonate so much with listeners.  
    • It's a bizarre thing though....it would be nice to hear a few more tracks from the past 10 years mixed into daytime. However, at the other extreme, I find it odd how often really old tracks come up on Anthems and even the likes of Soundsystem Party and Dance Anthems.   The odd throwback is great but sometimes it feels too much.
    • I do like Cat Burns but it’s a good point about the many artists on future artists and other specialist shows. If they manage to launch the ‘Anthems’ like sister station hope they make changes to the stations playlist.
    • Some shows do play some songs from pre-2018 regularly. Mainly Matt & Mollie and Radio 1 Breakfast. Also don't forget the shortened Anne-Marie - Ciao Adios which gets played every 26 seconds. 😂
    • I hate reverse snobbery and I post this reluctantly as we shouldn't hold Jamie's background against him, but I do think many listeners will find it hard to identify with Jamie.  One of the things that made Jordan so popular was he sounded like the mate you go for a pint with who always has a great story to tell.
    • Absolutely - life would be dull if we all liked the same things  
    • Dean in for Greg on Tuesday.
    • While it maybe doesn't the power it once has (where being on the A-List was a big deal), It's a big part of the station and I felt probably deserves it's own thread. Have to be honest I haven't been hugely enamored with the playlist in recent times. Radio 1 seem quite heavily wedded to it in weekdays (at least Monday-Thursday) which can lead to the station being repetitive if you listen throughout the day. Even a station like Capital who are known for their limited playlist seem to throw in some older tracks and artists ever so often whereas if it's not Something Songs, 10 Minute Takeover or Anthems you often struggle to hear a song from before 2018. The repetitive nature has been a thing for a while though to be fair - I recall early 2021 in particular it felt like Tiesto's 'The Business' and Olivia Rodrigo's 'Drivers Licence' were played every other hour. Also certain Radio 1 favourites seem almost guaranteed a slot on the playlist even if they don't actually appear to be wildly popular with the target audience to justify it. I get it with your Dua Lipas, Calvin Harrises, Fred Agains  and Olivia Rodrigos as they're all very popular but less so if it's say Cat Burns, Aitch, Royal Blood or Mabel. Which is fine to an extent as Radio 1 has often focussed on promoting new music but then you have great music by other new artists that just never makes it to the playlist as a result.
    • Yep I really struggled with Matt & Jamie which was a shame as otherwise really like Matt. Unfortunately it comes across on-air whether it's actually try or not that Jamie doesn't know a lot about radio and doesn't seem particularly desperate to improve either or if I'm being generous he's playing an act - neither of which particularly appeals. The everyman act can sometimes work but you need to have that natural likability and appeal for it to do so in the way that way Chris Stark did. I mean even towards the end of his stint with Matt Jamie was struggling with getting the Whatsapp number right which is a basic.
    • Have to say even if there is a good reason for Jamie to be off on Thursdays the optics of them a month in still not be able to do a 'normal week' of the scheduled team for a brand new show isn't great. And if Jamie was meant to be away on Thursdays clearly nobody let whoever runs BBC Sounds know. Who would've guessed from the Vick & Jordan days though that it would be Vick who's the everpresent so far (just kidding Vick - really rate her as a DJ and I know she has a lot of other engagements outside of Radio 1).
    • Sorry explain what you mean there please? Danny is unlistenable?? 
    • I dunno if it is me but even Vick and Katie don't sound as good in that slot alone as they did before. Maybe I have just fallen out of love with it all.
