Oh definitely! Just to see a grown man whining after falling off a horse while dressed as Robin Hood... and Chappers is right, pay back time for all his pranks.

It was really good of Scott to do it. I mean Walliams swam the Channel, and was pictured in the papers in speedos with goose fat on him, but Scott faced the ultimate challenge: facing up to his fears and making a complete fool out of himself.

Aw, and that's why Unofficial Mills exists. Because of his comedy stuff like that. Got dad to record the moment, so have the audio, but looks like R1 online have better stuff.

Haha at the online video - Chappers recalling Hypno Dog. That was great.

Aw, Scott. Must have brought bad memories of the PE days for Scott when he fell off. It made me recall moments I've had the ball kicked in my face or couldn't do a roll in PE in primary school :D

Excellent video, and Scott can now say he's felt his power!

Tomorrow's the Sport Relief run. Not bad for a guy who hated PE at school

Yeah, he's got very involved in Sport Relief. I know how you feel Jono, I got hit in the face by netballs a number of times and I couldn't do any of that forward roll stuff. I mean I can blame being Dyspraxic but I'm terrible at every sport so I know how Scott feels exactly there. Although I've never quite managed to fall off a horse. It's been close, but I hung on.

Scott might find the Sport Relief mile a bit painful because I can imagine he is feeling rather bruised and delicate right now...

Well done Scott, you've proved all the doubters wrong :)

What are they doubting, let me see.

It is not enough for a man to know how to ride; he must know how to fall. ~Mexican Proverb

A horse is dangerous at both ends and uncomfortable in the middle. ~Ian Fleming

It's a lot like nuts and bolts - if the rider's nuts, the horse bolts! ~Nicholas Evans

Okay so I've found a horse quote page :P None of them I guess?

I think we could see some revenge being taken out on Chappers for being so smug at the moment. Althought to be fair Chappers is in his own right - the hidden microphone singing, hypnodog, the experiments...

I wouldn't so smug though Chappers. Scott was on BBC One. Where was Chappers' TV work recently? :P

I would love to do screen caps, but it just isn't possible because if I pause my video it goes fuzzy and crazy. Soon I will invest in a DVD recorder...

I think Scott did really well, anyway :)

Liking the horse-related quotations Jono.

I think Chappers is working his way up. Scott got about 2 and a half minutes on BBC1, whilst Laura got about 20 seconds...

Chappers can have as long as he wants on ITV4(+1-2*6) or BBC Three. They know he's too good for those channels, so would give him his own show if he desired. They could put him on where Eastenders Revealed is.

If he was to go on BBC 1 or Channel 4 it might be a different story.

I'm still disappointed Scott wasn't camping it up enough though.

Chappers was on World Cup Outtakes as well, although I think that was only on BBC3, but it was on several times (as everything on BBC3 is) so he's had some exposure on TV. And he wasn't dressed in green tights and a stupid hat, that's got to be some consolation for him.

No skills Mills spills

RADIO 1 DJ Scott Mills became the latest Only Fools On Horses casualty — flying off his steed and bruising his bum.

The cocky jock was told to saddle up by R1 listeners after boasting on-air that show-jumping “looked a bit easy” and fences seemed “small”.

But the DJ, who had never ridden, gave one of the show’s most useless performances.

Petrified Scott flapped around on the back of a most docile horse before tumbling off.

He raised £20,000 for Sport Relief but said: “I will never do it again, not even for £100million.”

Useless performance maybe, but comedy? Yes. They were a bit silly there though - with trying to slag him off in a way, whilst writing - "the DJ who had never ridden before"

      I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right!

      Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!

      Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.

      If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.

      The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!

      What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.

      Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.

      Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
