Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

[Dan18F1]

Pretty sure it’s Nottingham. When Grimmy said we’re in .....

there was three syllables which fits in with the Nottingham link. 

[LSR1]

I saw that tweet about an hour but just scrolled past because I thought it looked fake!

[Ant L]

Ohh...

 

[Chris D]

Could they be in Denbigh? There was a school there that they did the show from for the pedal to the peaks challenge, plus it was mentioned on the show yesterday when Greg got it "muddled" with Tenby.

[Dan18F1]

Oh, so it doesn’t look like they’re in Nottingham anymore then

Right George Ezra'a 'Shotgun' has been used about 3 times now and they keep using words like 'sudden death' and 'we're killing it' and 'that killed 5 minutes'.

IT'S GOT TO BE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THAT.

That's very good thinking actually. Still no clue as to what it means though.

[Frermanian]

In addition, 'Animals' was just played, and now it's a song called 'Albatross' by Foals. I love Foals and Albatross is a song that would never ever ever be played on Radio 1 because it's a deep album cut.

So I think it's definitely animal related too.

[LSR1]

its too much of a coincidence that they played Animals by Martin Garrix into Albatross by Foals. Albatross is too much of an obscure song choice for that not to be a hint...

[LSR1]

Also, remember the zookeeping hint from a few hours back...

[Aleks_]

Perhaps, but they used to play Albatross quite a lot when it came out.

[Frermanian]

Can we get someone on R1 to cobble together these theories as an unofficial mills correspondant?

 

[Aleks_]

Just gonne leave it here: 

 

[LSR1]

APE into Danny BYRD? I'm just saying...

[Aleks_]

So here's how things stand now:
- end of term themed location;
- possibly animals involved;
- definitely within 2-3 hour radius from Nottingham; 
- possibly soundproof room so that they can broadcast from it.

Still none the wiser...
But the guys appear to have a bit of a break as Annie took over. 

[Frermanian]

Does anyone else think all the radio DJs might now know and they're just playing along?

[Frermanian]

So day 2 begins... I was thinking maybe look at people who haven't said anything yet? They said 10 people know but haven't named names.

Chris Smith has been quiet, as has George Ezra given the amount of time they plated Shotgun.

As you can tell, still none the wiser...

[OohErr]

So they're at George Ezra's house with Chris Smith?

Smith just did the 1030 news so doubt it 

Is this a stunt to expose them to their new listeners ready for the swap? 

Did anyone see what Chris Moyles had to say?

Plot seems to be moving to Birmingham now with perhaps their best lead yet. Greg and Grimmy not denying anything!

[Tea20]

If Birmingham it's probably not the library (as suggested on air) since it's too modern - the chairs in one of the videos from yesterday looked they they belonged in a much older building.

They're not denying anything at first, letting other DJs knock on some random door or shout through a window.  There's also some buzz about Sheffield on twitter, probably this will be the next target, should Birmingham turn out to be dead end.

Wonder if they're starting to get a bit nervous as to when will they be found. Or if they will be...

Funny how only the Midlands have been questioned so far - imagine if theyre in like Plymouth or Carlisle like we earlier thought

Well it's all based on the fact that Greg was in Nottingham at 12:30 yesterday. So they just have to be within about 3 hour radius from Nottingham. 

[Frermanian]

What if they're in Dover or somewhere completely random
