Pardon me for being ignorant but Ialways thought diaries ran from 1st Jan to 31st Dec. Why does Laura's suddenly stop in September 1998. I reckon we will see more of this (Crimbo special perhaps - Dad in nightie etc!). Would hate to think we'll never hear from Fox Mary anymore....!!

Why end it when there's nothing significant going on. We don't want to hear that.

For some reason I'm thinking a Laura's Diary panto would be humorous for Christmas Day, but didn't the Moyles one fall flat on it's arse the other year?

Buy her book if you want more!

Could have been an academic diary, they only run till September ;)

How can you say nothing significant going on? She thinks she's knocked up (admittedly we probably all know that she wasn't!), we don't know what's going to happen to Charlotte the harlot, does Ben cop off with the foxy younger sister, does Dad wear tinsel or holly in his topper at crimbo? All valid questions that need answering methinks..!

:cool:

And seasons have to end somewhere. Just like Lost. They're not going to keep a season going just because people want to know what's down the hatch. They have brains to know that people will tune in to see a new series to find out the answer. They wanted the Lost feel to it.

And it's a very clever way of getting people to buy the book.

I'm not quite sure finding out whether daddy wears tinsel would be valid enough for more of Laura's Diary. There's only so much of a shelf life for radio features...

But I get your point.

Well it ended before her second year at Uni, fair enough time to end it, at the end of the summer holiday.

I guess we'll have to buy the book to read the rest - I can't wait.

Indeed. I shall no doubt buy it for my better half. She's a diary virgin having only just heard series 5 (I removed all the CDs from her car to transfer to iPod so now she's having to listen to the radio). If it's as popular as Bridget Jones' Diary (which my missus loved) then she'll have no complaints. I know they've discussed it on the show but any film of it would be good...

How about the very mad Lisa Kudrow to play Laura?

And for the "I know" line when she tells him she loves him, Harrison Ford to play Ben...?

Yeah I think Phoenix has got it in one. I don't think it's an actual diary. It's just one you fill in when you feel like it with blank pages. Proof of that here:

As for the bed to Laura's Diary, it's another song off of the Romeo and Juliet sound track, which these days they call 'Our Tune'. Have a search in Google for those details.

How about Steve Jones off T4 for the part of Ben? He'd be perfect imo. :biggrin:

UM is a nice place

      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!

      R1 to R2 transfers

      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

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Lee E · Posted

      Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday.

      As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
