What's been your favourite bit of Scott Mills on Radio 1?

We've asked the question before... but now we've a definitive time period to choose from - the last 24 years!

I think the takeaway guy definietly helped boost Scott into the spotlight at a time when online video was becoming a thing. It was an era before the podcast and social media, but thanks to Unofficial Mills recording clips and some YouTube fanatics, it was hugely popular!

Although we've moved on from an era of prank calls, it's definetly what got me listening every day. It made Scott's humour stand out to me, and made me realise he was different to other Radio 1 DJs.

Love this topic! There have been so many memorable moments, I listened when ‘the ladies’ bras’ was a thing. Then I went to uni and didn’t tune in again until I was 30. 
 

i have listened back to old podcasts here, and some of my favourite moments have been since Chris joined. The Innuendo Bingos. Beccy rapping Gangnam style was amazing.

but, my personal favourite is much more recent. October 2020. The Margaret Covid Bamboleo Wednesday. Had me in a heap on the kitchen floor, might have been the hysteria of the times, but Scott & Chris handled the start of the pandemic so well I think credit is deserved ?

Late night Innuendo Bingo, Lolathon 2017. Need I say more? 

Literally came to say this. 02:30 in the morning, it was like a weird dream! The 'Jazz FM' clip being the highlight. The first Lolathon the best they did imo!

I do vaguely remember listening to some of the prank call stuff on drivetime when I was younger.. it's good some of it's still on YouTube. 

Scott's prank on Chris with Jennifer Aniston must be up there as well..

    • Roman Kemp 😜 I think Will was at radio 1 at one point wasn't he? 
    • Hats off to Chris for leaving a challenge for Greg.  To plan that out was great detailing and proves what a talented guy he is.  The post he posted on Instagram also links into it which is great to.  There is loyalty to Greg there so I don't think he's joining Capital.  Persephonica was looking for an 'experienced entertainment producer' a few months ago. I wonder if this is where Chris might be heading? 
    • Jordan North… Seriously though, out of the commercial stations I only really listen to Capital but I do think Will Manning is very strong (and could quite easily slot into R1). I also think Jimmy Hill is a very good commercial DJ (but probably wouldn’t be as good on R1).
    • First link made me blush 
    • Who do you think is the best commercial presenter? This is your view, doesn't have to be who has the most ratings 
    • Starting off strong. 
    • I remember Chase and Status being added to the line-up for Coventry after a drop out. At the time it seemed a bit random, but they seem massive again now!
    • That is a bit strange, yes. Fair point. Oh yes, I'd say both are equal. It's just they'll have been on Instagram for some time, whereas TikTok will have been a new addition in recent years, so something probably has to give. Us anoraks like to see Twitter as important, but I find myself putting much more time into those other platforms. Incidentally when I applied for a social job there probably four years back (wasn't successful!) I did say I thought the audience wanted more insight from the station rather than just content around the stars. I think they've moved a lot more in that direction, especially with the visualisation in the studio. You see more of Greg James than Harry Styles. I don't envy the PR machine at Radio 1 going straight from Mollie King's challenge to Big Weekend announcements without a break!
    • Since they starting the big weekend right at the end of Matt & Mollie’s show I expect they get to do the duties of opening up the festival.
    • Matt and Mollie and Sam and Danni have DJ sets on Friday of Big Weekend, still makes me think they are really keen to push both pairings in a hole left by Jordan.
    • Broadcast wise it’s going to be interesting to see how they handle the performances starting at the same time as the chart show.
    • Yes sort of, although it’s still weird that they tweeted when Mollie was halfway completed but did not do so when she crossed the finish line.
    • it would make sense to ensure both instagram and TikTok are treated as equals and kept in tandem as reels and downloads of instagram are growing when TikTok I think I’ve heard is stagnating.    I mean it makes sense to do less with Twitter or X as it has change. There has been a lot of change in how its run and operate with focus on making it a platform people pay for and its been volatile for advertising with lots of loss in paid promotions on the platform and the business worth has been waining and any communications and marketing for any business and organisations are seeing that
    • I feel like all ATB songs started with some sort of airport in their video
