I heard something about this being trailed ahead - he said he was being joined by another Radio 1 DJ.

Is it Comic Relief related perhaps?

I think it is, it was almost 2 years to the day that they announced the last lolathon, so fingers crossed another one. If not then probably a different kind of challenge with a different DJ, probably Jordan!

With the Red nose day trails also around at the moment and  it being Scot and Chris. 
I guessing it going to be some sort of red Nose day challenge, which with everything going on some sort of lolathon or something similar would make sense.

I hope it is another lolathon. Feels like the last one was forever ago! Or I’d like to see them tackle a marathon broadcast! But, with all the COVID rules in place, maybe wouldn’t be so great without someone walking in as a surprise guest or being able to play many games.

In lockdown? Where's he going to hide? The BBC News studio? ?

Lol indeed - It is ten years since the 52 hour show - maybe it's an attempt at that Scott Chris and Greg together?

My first thought was another LOLathon. Scott mentioned it during a show last month about how much they really enjoyed doing it.  The fact both Scott & Chris are on suggests it is that. It's something they could pull off during current times (more so than another Greg 'stunt'), and very much needed in my opinion!

Admittedly, i didn't listen to the radio this morning so i forgot Greg wasn't on. Was he scheduled to just have today off? Could be totally unrelated. I'd say that it being Comic Relief is likely but who knows... guess we'll find out tomorrow.

Curious Greg was off today, feels like there's another layer to it

I didn't even think if this was related or not. but who knows if it is related

Greg was Scheduled to take today off. I am sure he mentioned it as well on Friday, that he would be back  on Tuesday.
I know Mat and Mollie knew about as they talked about it over the weekend. 

If it was a 3 way LOLAthon,  it going to take some organizing, with only 2 people being allowed in studio at once.  But it is the sort of think that the 3 of them would do.  If there is anyone at radio 1 who would attempt to break the record it would be them.

I think with zoom it could very much work, alongside the use of the 2 two person studios. 
if it is a lolathone or related, it would need a lot of planning and logistical work but it is very much doable.

My list of suggestions includes some unlikely and ridiculous 

Greg’s taking a sabbatical and Scott/Chris are going to take over breakfast as their final radio 1 hurrah.

Lolathon or longest radio 1 show

Scotts departure

Equivalent to Radio 1 big weekend being announced. 

hide and seek

Radio 1 are going on a vaccination roadshow

They could do it so he broadcasts from one of the BBC local studios and we have to guess which one using clues.

Hadn't thought about the restrictions on the studio, loved it when they had all the Northern DJs in one room last time.

Studio restrictions are probably one of the biggest difficulties at the moment.

There are some good suggestions here. 
Greg On sabbatical maybe,  he been doing it for 2 year, it probably a good time.    Scot Chris  would be a good temporary host of the show. I would guess that Jordan would then take what is now Scot and Chris show. 
 

Lolathon, or longest show, i think this is the most likely think. 

Scot Departure, surely he would do this on his own show. 

big weekend, or similar.  was my first thought. I was thinking end of summer, when hopefully the world is back to normal. 

hide and seek, very much doubt at this stage. October half term I would guess would be the best time.  but if they did do it now this would be a good idea.

Vacation roadshow. Maybe. 
But I think if this was going to happen it would guess it would happen when vaccine are being given to people more within the target audience for radio 1

I doubt it's anything to do with the future of any of the DJ's. They wouldn't trail a departure announcement. Slightly off topic but as i've seen it mentioned above as a guess, Scott's departure has been speculated for years now. Management must be happy to keep them on otherwise they probably would've departed under the last changes. I still think they'll be in that slot this time next year. The fact Greg has only just increased to 5 days, i'd say it's nothing to do with his future on R1 Breakfast.

As has been commented by several other members, i agree it'll likely be an announcement for an on air 'event' such as Comic Relief. The other thought i had (before Scott said it's him joining Greg tomorrow) was regarding filling the void of Big Weekend. Of course it looks unlikely it will take place this year, and there's been no announcement regarding that matter.

I think it has to be a marathon event

I am going with - 10 years almost to the month of the 52hr show so I reckon they (Scott, Chris and Greg) are going for something like 70 hours maybe 

Start on Breakfast on Wednesday and finish at 4pm Friday for the chart to start with Kaite and Vick ?

    • 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 
    • 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.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
    • Nat and Vicky are being sent to Ibiza this year. They’ll be live on Friday 1st August from 1-4pm.     
    • Since Radio 1 Dance and Anthems have been allowed to broadcast on DAB, do we think they’ll be a proper schedule of shows like on Radio 1 Dance with the morning show and Dance Anthems at drive time. Maybe Lauren Redfern, Tyler Selby, Chrissy Cameron or Matt Hallsworth will be scheduled on named shows like Hits Radio 00s or Capital Anthems rather than the generic ‘Radio 1 Anthems’ show. Obviously it would probably cost more to produce actual shows on the station however.
    • There's been a lot of positive reaction to the Mylo and Rosie news so am interested now to hear what their shows are like. And yep wouldn't be surprised if they stay on beyond July as cover ever so often. And that Friday-Sunday news was hidden in the small print a little. It presumably means we lose Party Anthems all that month as that is what has happened this year with Big Weekend, Glasto for example. I certainly I hope it isn't Party Anthems being quietly axed full stop - it and Future Pop are 2 real hidden gems on Radio 1. 
    • I’m pleased for Mylo and Rosie, they were highly thought of in our local area and definitely worthy of that slot
