Unofficial Mills

The Horse Whimperer

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...

hahaha, that was great,

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

What are they doubting, let me see.

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 don't know about that but somebody's messed up with the dates on the lanyards this year, they're all the wrong date!
    • Is big weekend the only place to get long boi merch? It's sold out! I'd love to have got my hands on some. 
    • Considering the price of some festival event for a small portions can be pricey but it isn’t too bad that could get it with chips and other roast dinner bits. I think when you are billed as a touring high profile DJ there’s always a risk of playing out familiar tracks from other artists in the mix. Especially on a line-up with Chase and Status and Rudimental who will be playing pretty much all tracks written, produced and released as their DJing names.   
    • Matt & Mollie I believe (and on the radio occassional studio bits from Jack Saunders, Sam & Danni and Maia Beth).
    • Obvs - Scott 2-4 and Trevor Nelson are also in 82A
    • Who presented Party Anthems on stage?
    • Lots of adverts for Matt and Mollie around the place, alongside the rest of the weekday lineup, but no mention of Dean and/or Vicky. Although I notice those two are doing the photobooth today, as is Danny Beard…
    • Yesterday was excellent pretty much all day. You can tell a lot of work has gone into the festival and the set up was really good. The ground is fine for anyone worried, I wore old trainers and they’re still fine today.    Merchandise is available for some high prices. If you’re going for Longboi merch get it early as they sold out within the first couple of hours.    The photo booth is also good and we met Vick, Katie and Jamie for a few seconds and got a photo. If you’re doing this get there 15-20 minutes before the advertised time as they’re only 30 minute slots. It’s right next to the main stage so you can see everything going on there from the queue anyway. Most of the acts we saw were excellent. Becky Hill and Ella Henderson were brilliant live. Rudimental and Chase and Status were absolutely incredible. Nathan Dawe wasn’t great, played 3 of his own songs then dodgy remixes of Marvin Gaye, Dolly Parton etc. Went to Dimension halfway through which was must better. Saw 15-20 minutes of Eric Prydz which wasn’t really my thing but his staging was excellent.  The DJ sets in between everything were pretty good, especially Matt and Mollie and Charlie Hedges. Sam and Danni were a welcome change as they played indie anthems for a while although I think they may have just been the pre recorded anthems they usually play on weekends (still better than Nathan Dawe). Food was good, but pricey - £15 for my main meal of roast pork, stuffing, chips and Yorkshire pudding. I was surprised they were selling multipacks of Madri and bottles of wine, especially the latter as people were walking around swigging from glass bottles in the middle of the crowd then dumping them on the floor… the rubbish was a mess at the end of the night. Probably one of the best live music events I’ve ever been to, a real credit to the station. 
    • While there were some technical issues (tracks temporarily cutting out, mics not working at first for radio listeners, 'studio team' sometimes jumping in at quite random intervals) Party Anthems on stage seemed to work well and I sort of wonder why they haven't done it before. I guess it depends on when gates open but if gates open around 1/2pm then no excuse not to do it- it's a DJ set which they have loads of across the weekend and acts as a warm-up so the crowd are hot for the first main act.
    • They mentioned on air that it's before Joel Corry's set.
    • When is the set for Greg and Tom? I’m having trouble getting on to Insta and Google is not helping.
    • Jess Iszatt is in for Jack on Monday 27th May.
    • The two larger studios either side of the Live Lounge are 82A (aka 82Mills) and 82D.  The 4 smaller ones nearby are 82B, C, E & F.  The brand new ones are nearby on the 8th floor and are 82K, L, M & N.  All of the London-based R2 and 6M shows are coming from the 8th floor, some in the new studios and some in the original ones.  Obviously there are a lot of shows that come from elsewhere in the country such as Birmingham, Salford and Cardiff, but any in London come from the 8th floor.   In terms of R1 at the moment:   82A - Greg James, Danny Howard, Jeremiah Asiamah 82B - Early Breakfast Mon-Fri, Dan P Carter, Sarah Story, Charlie Tee 82D - RMC, Going Home, Future Artists, Future Pop, Rave Up, 13.00-16.00 Fri-Sun 82E - Official Chart, Chillest Show 82F - Dance Anthems, Kenny Allstar, Indie Show 82N - New Music Show Salford - Dean & Vicky, Danny Beard, Nat O'Leary, Life Hacks Cardiff - Sam & Danni
