Hello- Radio 1 listener since 2009 (although I've recently been listening to some Mark and Lard and Moyles shows from 2004), forum lurker since shortly after, and now I've decided to take the plunge and finally sign up!

(By the way, what's happened to Viv and Doovde, I haven't seen their bickering on the forum for ages!)

Welcome along! Real nice to see someone who has some time for the history of Radio 1 as well as the current/future.

I guess they moved on, the forum sadly is dead compared to 2005 - 2008. I guess people move on, but I don't think the social media boom past those dates helps forums these days. It's not quite the same, as people don't communicate as they would on here.

on the grid.

Long time lurker! Decided I would finally join the forums. Long time Radio 1 listener and Scott Mills fan from Glasgow.

I've met the man twice but the first time I accidentally hit him with a shoe and the second time I was very drunk and almost swore live on Radio 1. So, yeah, not the best first (or second) impression to make but hopefully your first (and second) impression of me won't be as bad.

Hello there. I'm in America and I'm a Scott MIlls newbie -- but I am so, so hooked. I was aware of him as the guy who sometimes subbed in for Nick Grimshaw on the Breakfast Show, and I enjoyed listening to him, but within the past week or so he just clicked for me, and now I've been binge-watching Innuendo Bingos and binge-listening to the podcasts while at work. Still trying to catch up on recent stuff before diving into the older podcasts, thank you to this site for feeding my addiction.

Just recently discovered this website and so happy I did.

Firstly I'd like to congratulate the entire site team on a wonderful job you have done with the website - especially the impressive podcast archive which I really appreciate and will be delving into as soon as I have written this!

Secondly, it's so nice to find a place that I can come to outside of the hours that I listen to Radio 1 (weekdays 1-7pm!) - you all seem such a friendly bunch and I shall look forward to joining in with the discussions :)

Hello! Hope you enjoy using the site and chatting to us all. You could say it's like chrismoyles.net but without all the self-importance.

Notable users are Jono (founder, owner, and everything else), newsbeat (not active anymore but loads of great posts), TMD_24 (good opinions) and OohErr, one of my favourites primarily for his (her?) username. Still to this day, I think it's Greg James in disguise. 

Welcome to page 69 of this thread, too. ;)

Hi should have introduced myself. I am Lee, from Sussex. Radio enthusiast, mage geek, and very keen listener to R1 daytimes, fan of Scott's show and admire his career, as well as other R1 presenters. Was early 20's in the "go to work with Moyles and come home with Mills" era.

Love chatting to you guys and finding out loads of stuff from the knowledge here, great site, am also on the Moyles version.

Thought it about time to say hi,long time listener to the podcast mainly as i don't get much time at work for anything but podcasts and in the minority as half of the music isn't really my cup of tea.

Haven't listened to breakfast since CM days and couldn't be happier for Greg getting the job.

Scott is by far my favorite R1 dj and was amazing with Laura to start then chappers and Beccy have had me in stitches many times and got a lot of strange looks because of them, as for stark not so much.

This is a great site giving hours of enjoyment, hosting the podcasts as well, i thank you all for that.

Always lovely to hear from someone enjoying the podcasts - takes a lot of work but it pays off when people say they're enjoying it all!

Hi everyone!

My name is Isaac and I’m currently a Computer Science student. I am also a massive radio geek as well – I’ve been listening to Radio 1 now for 6 years and to The Official Chart for nearly 6 and a half years.

I’ve been a long time lurker on this forum (5 years I think!) and I’ve loved reading the comments and posts about Radio 1 ever since I found this. I’ve always wanted to join in the fun with comments and posts of my own but I’ve either delayed putting it off or been too shy to make a move. Hopefully, with everything strange going on, now is the right time.

I look forward to getting more involved with the forum during times of big discussion here, whatever happens to Radio 1. Maybe a new presenter might join. Maybe Scott Mills will do 9 years in the afternoons. Maybe Jordan North will get the primetime slot he deserves. But for now … thanks for having me!

    • Richie Anderson in for Rylan tomorrow.
    • Mylo and Rosie said at the end of their show today that they would also be on Early Breakfast on Thursday 24th July (even though the schedule still says Dean)
    • James is in for Dean from Monday 11th to Thursday 14th August. Dean is in for Greg from Monday 11th to Friday 15th August. Jaguar is in for Sarah on Friday 15th August.
    • Tara Kumar is in for Alyx on Sunday 13th July.
    • Conor Knight & Lauren Layfield are in for Matt & Mollie on Monday 14th July.  Matt is solo on Tuesday 15th July.  Jerry is in for Mollie between Wednesday 16th & Thursday 24th July.  Maia Beth is covering Future Pop on Wednesday 16th & Wednesday 23rd July. On Sunday 27th July the Chillest Show is reduced to an hour, and 20.00-21.00 is a BBC Proms special with JADE. On Thursday 31st July 18.00-20.00 in place of Jack's show it's the Dance Party Warm-Up with Danny Howard (ahead of the Ibiza weekend).
    • Dean McCullough in for Greg w/c 4th August. James Cusack on EB.
    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?
    • Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.
    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.
    • With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now
