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..

    • Regardless of their routine, it's incredible how they all ended up parents in a short space of time of becoming a trio. Quite the baby boom at Radio 1!
    • 20th July Alyx Holcombe in for Jack Saunders 21st July No presenters listed for the New Music Show or Future Artists and both shows list separate programmes for each hour, I wonder if there is a link between that and the event on Tuesday?
    • I haven’t seen that much regarding Vick Hopes complaints and I genuinely think most of the time she has been being a mum and flexible working makes sense.   She sort of explained it fairly well and knew where we were at. Jamie imo doesn’t get the same leeway, wouldn’t have begrudged a bit of paternity leave and holiday but extensive time off for other business interests is taking the p 
    • Yep and close to what i've commented a few times when people suggest getting rid of Vick due to her part-time schedule!
    • Fair enough to Vick Hope for her dig on Instagram  
    • Jamie does a full week 
    • Saturday 8th August: Joel Dommett in for Dermot O'Leary  Ellie Taylor in for Emma Willis Sunday 9th August: Ricky Ross (lead singer of Deacon Blue) is presenting Sounds Of The 70's. W/C Monday 10th August: Joel Dommett is doing a second week on drivetime.   Clara Amfo sits in for Trevor Nelson on Thursday 13th August, with Mark Goodier sitting in on Friday 14th (Spoony's in Monday-Wednesday)
    • I was talking specially about summer ones. The Halloween ones are always mystery and never hunts (because they’re supposed to be small and quick presumably). 
    • Weekend Breakfast can become a bit of a content wasteland though. Look at the difference in show that Matt & Mollie did there compared to weekend afternoons. I totally agree with your point though, both shows are interchangeable but I think it’s a good call to have Mylo & Rosie on for 5 mornings a week. I haven’t seen it confirmed anywhere, but are we assuming they’ll still be Salford too? Could Emil being based in London mean that show is moved back there because weekends already have other Salford based shows?
    • Would the Murder Mystery from Halloween 2022 count?
    • Early and weekend breakfast I see as pretty similar. I expect Emil to do be doing quite a bit of weekday cover especially on going home so probably makes sense he does weekend breakfast. 
    • That's a good point about Giant Detention but I wouldn't say there's been an equal mix. We've had Giant Jigsaw, Giant DJ Hunt and Giant Face Off which were all hunt ones and before Giant Detention I think the last mystery one would've been Summer Breakout before Vick and Jordan started drive time.
    • Now I think about it, I’m surprised Mylo & Rosie and Emil Franchi weren’t the other way around. Wouldn’t it make more sense for a duo with years of breakfast experience to do weekend breakfast rather than be wasted on early breakfast? Not that Emil isn’t also more than capable but out of him and M+R pairing it would make more sense if he was on earlies? 
    • I didn't get a chance to reply. There aren't really many shocks though maybe; - James Cusack is a surprise exit but maybe he has something else lined up. A daily high profile show on a big network is likely to be better financially than being stuck on weekend breakfast at Radio 1 with no clear progression. - Going Home is clearly going to limp on as it is. - It feels strange Vicky Hawksworth is staying as no shows seem to have worked for her yet.  The new set-up for her doesn't feel like it will last forever. Nothing else is much of a surprise, presenters leaving that have reached the natural end of their Radio 1 life, full-time shows for tried and trusted cover and a big promotion for Jeremiah who has hardly been off daytime radio over the past year to 18 months.
    • Of course, me with short memory, that's likely! 😆
