Things like Bingo and Tap End returning have always been used in sentences like “well they haven’t brought Innuendo Bingo back yet, and they keep talking about it, so Scott’s got time left on Radio 1”.  But with the Heart rumours happening before January, and now with Scott and Chris bringing back Bingo, and potentially Tap End from the look of Instagram, do we think this could sadly be Scott preparing to leave, or at least move slot, and begin the transition to Radio 2.  The show itself really feels like it’s winding down at the moment, but what do we all think?

I saw the fact they've brought back Innuendo Bingo in a big way as a vote of confidence in the feature and the show. I don't see him winding down at all at the moment.

I never really thought about it that way.  I’d be so sad if Scott left, but he deserves something better than 1-4pm, it’s really sad he never got Breakfast.

Radio 1 won’t be putting a vote of confidence in a nearly 45 year old host, it feels more like a swan song. It’s obviously about relevance over age but still.

Radio  1 won’t get rid of Scott. Not yet. Innuendo Bingo is back and if Tap End is back. This could be a sign that Scott’s just going for a throwback phase. 

Thinking about it Scott&Chris could be winding down and going to send the show off.

But I doubt they will go any time soo.

I suppose at this point it's not a question of why, but when he'll leave.  It can't be far away, he's managed 20 years, an astonishing achievement.

Let's not forget, Scott has the most airtime out of all the presenters on BBC Radio 1, one of his shows including the drivetime slot on Fridays. I reckon he's got at least a few more years before he leaves.

He's had an absolutely astoundingly successful Radio 1 career, but I can't see many of the weekday DJs lasting years more.  (Clara, Grimmy, even Scott).  Maybe Scott will start covering for Radio 2, and do weekends/the chart.  I really don't want him to leave afternoons, but he's got to make a move to greener pastures at some point.

I could see Scott just doing podcast

Because late last year he did The Strictly Come Dancing Podcast and now Eurovision. So this could be a sign, Just saying!

I think your right, although I wasn't overly impressed with Bingo, preferred it in the studio being more raw than as staged as it was

I can see him being used for Radio 2 cover, seeing as Sara is not going to be the breakfast cover anymore

He's the breakfast show presenter that never was in a way; someone mentioned that Greg is "transitional" between Grimmy and a new show in a year or two, IMO Scott should have been the "one" between CM and Greg, people always knew Greg was going to get it one day, I reckon Scott should have got it in about 2011 to 2015/6 then Greg took it over

With Greg being an older, quite mainstream, transitionary (in a way) host (he’s hardly the next Grimmy), it almost feels like Scott should have got it now for a couple years instead.  Swapping Scott and Moyles didn’t happen because management through it would be “like for like” and they needed someone to make the show a lot younger, you could argue Scott would have done this.  But they’ve just done what they refused to do with Scott, they’ve swapped like for like, Greg now is like Scott in 2012, except he got breakfast, and didn’t get sidelined.

I can’t see that, Scott is a radio guy through and through, it’s his passion, it’s all he’s always wanted to do.  He wouldn’t just do a podcast.  Podcasts will more be a side project.

Just going back to the book thing that was posted on his insta, I think it might be tap end but what about Lolathon 2? I seem to remember they used a book as the picture for the first one! 

 

I still think it will be Tap End though especially as they’ve been playing old ones on the podcast!

I can see Scott being snapped straight up by a commercial rival as soon as he gets dropped from daytime on R1 

The heart thing must be true

While we are on this - can we discuss Mills and Moyles; I thought they were good friends? seems not 

He’s really snipey about moyles these days.  Is it Breakfast show resentment?  Surely not.

Maybe a 48 hour lolathon, that would be incredible.  I wonder if either Scott or Greg could go after the longest show moyles record this year, I’d really like to hear that.

It is comic relief again this year, and Greg does his bit for sport relief, so could be another lolathon or a marathon show, I hope Greg is involved as well

      Jack Saunders' new show

      By BBCAaron · Posted

      I would rather do the new music show than the breakfast show early starts, being cheery and entertaining isn’t my vibe and being hip and on trend. With new music it’s a different kettle of fish that could get my teeth into and enjoy researching and planning of the show and coming up with ideas and making my mark in away that I don’t think I have the ideas for a breakfast. I don’t see how it could be alienating but I enjoy the niche and speciality of expertise that new music shows gives it’s good spot of giving you the headlines and setting the agenda of mainstream music.

      Absolutely, Jack is such an incredible broadcaster already, incredibly entertaining with such brilliant music knowledge and his excitement is contagious, I've never really listened to New Music Shows like Future Sounds but I'm instantly invested in new music due to his show, as I'm sure many others are too.  yes the effects are a little strange but after listening back they're strangely charming when you get used to them.

      Jack has smashed it He was born for this show, he said he’d been dreaming of it and you could tell. Such passion and energy as always with Jack but in a show that can grab people’s attention and drag them down the rabbit hole of new music if you had a keen interest in discovering new music but haven’t in a while, new music shows can be alienating with no familiarity until you ‘get into it’ - the new show has ensured you can ease into to get back into sync . i love the Zane influences - he will be the forefront of where every emerging and returning artist wants to be with this show . Very excited for this chapter

      Yes, I feel that unless it’s for a special sessions with a large ensemble band that for live sessions going out live on the radio. Never saw why they haven’t used the live lounge studio and feel that room could be used more.

      Interesting now Zane has for apple interviewed anything from an artists that have charted and doing less interviews with new and emerging talents chatting to Shakira, Usher, Kelly Clarkson and Shania Twain. Yes, that is a positive thing about Jack Saunders. Although I don’t mind it from time to time for a presenter to be honest and spill an unsavoury opinion about music on the station like Annie did with Fall Out Boy.

      Interesting Jack mentioned they've got new studios at Maida Vale; you'd think, with the move to Stratford, they wouldn't bother update the studios so close to the end...

      Yep Jack is very much Radio 1's modern day Zane Lowe - but with the bonus that he does feel a bit a bit more open-minded and open to chart stuff than Zane was. I could never imagine Zane being a chart host the way Jack is - I always had the sense if Zane didn't approve of your music taste he'd make you well aware of it.

      I will still call them sessions as feel with gigs it makes you think of a live tangible means of going to listen to a band play music and not virtually tuning in via the medium of radio.

      He does what the show needs regardless of how annoying some people may find his presentation style is like. I feel and very much do hope he is in for the long haul and could atleast do four years where his energy may into be as always as bouncy. But he has the knowledge, passion and interaction and not so overbearing but very much so sense of confidence that you need. I think he could easily have a good Zane Lowe like era. Just hope that they consider doing a new late night live music show as I do miss that something of what he had in the early days of the indie show and when Huw Stephens was on live at the after ten slot

      Speaking of the sessions, they've been renamed Live Gigs for any forum members not listening to the show & reading this later

      I’ve found the jingles are annoying and going to grate on the listener quickly. It’s a good opening week with big name hottest records and sessions
