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.

From the clues so far I'm guessing Liverpool, Blackpool or Birmingham...

[Tea20]

Location theories:

Liverpool - Royal Liver Building
Blackpool - Tower or one of the theatres
Birmingham - Symphony Hall

[LSR1]

NOT IN THE MIDLANDS! I’m glad because I dont want this to end yet! I’m sticking by Plymouth 

[Aleks_]

Anything could happen right now, to be fair. So much tension...

Greg's old school is now the main suspect. I bet, his Uni will be next.

Scott's up next and he's got James The PI with him.

[OohErr]

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 

[LSR1]

Also Dev is the real loser in this - travelling all the way to Birmingham for nothing!

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

[OohErr]

That. Was. Incredible.

Annoyingly I was out when they got found which I'm gutted about, 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". 

[OohErr]

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!

[Tea20]

Greg has just replayed the highlights reel from this on the breakfast show! Starts 0839. Amazing nostalgia to listen back to, I remember being totally hooked to this when it was happening. Some R1 presenters of old on there too.
