What if they're in Dover or somewhere completely random

 

That would be so sneaky - driving all the way up to Nottingham as a decoy and then going in an opposite direction.

One thing for sure, as an international listener, I've never learned more about the geography of the UK.

Nobody's suggested anywhere in Yorkshire yet. There's nothing in particular to suggest it might be but it's within a couple of hours of Nottingham.

This is going to sound ridiculous but what word have we constantly heard over the past 24 hours? A couple of... Leeds? Or am I losing the plot :D

Let's be honest: we've all lost it a while ago. And I wouldn't be surprised if it was an actual clue.

but that was a great day of radio. It'll be remembered for a very long time. You wouldn't get that on Capital.

Agree it pulled a crowd and gave listeners of Greg and Nick's shows a taste of their new presenters, nothing as monumental as the 52hr show though, but Greg may try and beat that in the future maybe

The best radio is when the whole Radio 1 Family comes together, I think! It's why I love shows when all of the DJs come on and get a bit of freedom. Non-Innuendo Bingo with Greg James during the LOLathon was one of my favourite bits of radio ever (Chris Sawyer producing again), and I even enjoyed Fearne Cotton's last show, even though I didn't particularly gravitate towards her show normally (except the Versus segments with Zane Lowe).

It's why I want Real Or No Real back! (Scott, Chris and Greg laughing about Bruce Forsyth being older than cubed ice , etc.)

I wish I could remember when those shows were, the Bruce Forsyth facts were the best, I laughed so much. Even now I can hear Scott and Greg saying "I'm older than ice" and "I'm the first person on TV".

I'm just listening back to the Hide and Seek show from the 17th July, and I've noticed something very, very interesting...

After six, when Greg hits the 10 Minute Takeover jingle, he accidentally pressed something else at the same time - and a second or so of Lost and Not Found by Chase and Status played. Then, he did the usual 10 Minute Takeover jingle, and played the 30 second timer, to reveal that the first song on the Ten Minute Takeover would be...

Lost and Not Found by Chase and Status. 

Amazing how it was already cued up before it was even requested!

    • Roman Kemp 😜 I think Will was at radio 1 at one point wasn't he? 
    • Hats off to Chris for leaving a challenge for Greg.  To plan that out was great detailing and proves what a talented guy he is.  The post he posted on Instagram also links into it which is great to.  There is loyalty to Greg there so I don't think he's joining Capital.  Persephonica was looking for an 'experienced entertainment producer' a few months ago. I wonder if this is where Chris might be heading? 
    • Jordan North… Seriously though, out of the commercial stations I only really listen to Capital but I do think Will Manning is very strong (and could quite easily slot into R1). I also think Jimmy Hill is a very good commercial DJ (but probably wouldn’t be as good on R1).
    • First link made me blush 
    • Who do you think is the best commercial presenter? This is your view, doesn't have to be who has the most ratings 
    • Starting off strong. 
    • I remember Chase and Status being added to the line-up for Coventry after a drop out. At the time it seemed a bit random, but they seem massive again now!
    • That is a bit strange, yes. Fair point. Oh yes, I'd say both are equal. It's just they'll have been on Instagram for some time, whereas TikTok will have been a new addition in recent years, so something probably has to give. Us anoraks like to see Twitter as important, but I find myself putting much more time into those other platforms. Incidentally when I applied for a social job there probably four years back (wasn't successful!) I did say I thought the audience wanted more insight from the station rather than just content around the stars. I think they've moved a lot more in that direction, especially with the visualisation in the studio. You see more of Greg James than Harry Styles. I don't envy the PR machine at Radio 1 going straight from Mollie King's challenge to Big Weekend announcements without a break!
    • Since they starting the big weekend right at the end of Matt & Mollie’s show I expect they get to do the duties of opening up the festival.
    • Matt and Mollie and Sam and Danni have DJ sets on Friday of Big Weekend, still makes me think they are really keen to push both pairings in a hole left by Jordan.
    • Broadcast wise it’s going to be interesting to see how they handle the performances starting at the same time as the chart show.
    • Yes sort of, although it’s still weird that they tweeted when Mollie was halfway completed but did not do so when she crossed the finish line.
    • it would make sense to ensure both instagram and TikTok are treated as equals and kept in tandem as reels and downloads of instagram are growing when TikTok I think I’ve heard is stagnating.    I mean it makes sense to do less with Twitter or X as it has change. There has been a lot of change in how its run and operate with focus on making it a platform people pay for and its been volatile for advertising with lots of loss in paid promotions on the platform and the business worth has been waining and any communications and marketing for any business and organisations are seeing that
    • I feel like all ATB songs started with some sort of airport in their video
