Capital Summertime Ball 2024

[robertybob]

Hi Scott.

I'm happy that you're staying with the BBC and going off to the place that all decent Radio 1 DJs go to retire, Radio 2. I hope this change of scenary will mean a sequal to your autobiography? I haven't read many autobiographies, but that was definitely one I found the most interesting!

I grew up in the days when you and Chappers made those prank phone calls to the pizza takeaway and book stores - it was a shame these had to stop, but like all good things they had to come to an end I suppose.

 

Hope to see you on my TV at Eurovision 2023!

Super sad that the Scott Mills era on Radio 1 is ending. Been a fan since Chappers and been listening to podcast since the dawn of time and always been between 3-12 months behind but since hearing your leaving I've blitz through and for the first time ever caught up so I can catch some of your last shows live! Sunset podcast made me cry... Not sure how you and both will cope in the final moments of the show. 

[Stephy Zimmerman]

Listening from America, you two really helped me in the darkest times of my life. Will really miss you guys, but thankful I was able to listen for all those years.

Good luck and thank you for all those years of amazing gags and needed laughs! I'll miss this show.

The end of an era! I’ve been a fan since I listened before school in the early breakfast days.
Love you bye!

Scott I've been with you from day one, will miss you so much, you make me laugh every day

Love you bye xx

[hannahisgreat]

I spent my teenage years in the 2000s, on a forum dedicated to you, your show and everything Radio 1 - basically getting the sh** ripped out of me for all sorts. Wouldn’t change it for the world  

Radio 1 won’t be Radio 1 without you. You’ll be sorely missed. Love you bye x

 

[mattyrb]

Thank you both for the laughs over the years!  Particularly Scott who during the "Just a Text from Heaven" segment helped me to contact my grandad from the grave and confirm whether it was him farting when he blamed the dog,  I don't know where I'd be today without the answer to that mystery...  

Good luck to you both!

Scott and Chris, thanks for taking us along for this very fun ride. Eager to hear you both in your next chapter — wouldn’t miss it for the world.

Scott and Chris wow what a legendary pair of radio heroes who have been a blast of a  highlight of my teenage and adult years. 

Ive been listening to you for over 24 years on radio 1, so many great memories from early breakfast, flirt divert, eurovision, Laura, chappers & beccy days, Scott Mills the musical, first to play Christmas  songs, what's occurring, radio 1 big weekends, banter with Zane and Greg, who couldn't forget moyles and comedy dave  breaking in  and waking you up in your flat & the britany spears  album radio studio lock in to hide from the bosses I could go on and on. Thanks for all the memories guys. Good luck with the future you be sorely missed.

[WILLIAMWHITE2004]

All  the best my dear Scott!!. I´ve been your listener from Buenos Aires since 2005. An amazingly long time. I still have podcasts about Laura the vigilante. You have been a friendly voice company for years, at home and on long distance car travelling. Thank you so much!!

[James R]

Thanks for the laughs over the years, through Barryoke and the bookshop game to the Barry Island texter and innuendo bingo to name a few. 

good luck to you both!

To Scott & Chris,
 

There’s been one constant in life and that was Scott on 4-7 and then Scott and Chris in the afternoons. Thanks for the all the LOLs and entertainment every day, getting everyone through the good and the bad. All the best for the future both of you, life won’t be the same without you! 
 

Love you bye.

Scott and Chris, before you become a whoooo! And this forum this listener becomes so bereft without the Scott and Chris show that we wrap ourselves in paper until you meet again. In life all good things come to an end. Thanks for the memories even if they weren’t so great (that isn’t true). I’ve listened to you over many years. To make you feel old that I wasn’t born when you started at Radio 1 but if I stuck at university I would’ve graduated this year. Been there daily for the listeners hard times and the goods, but I have to praise you, praise you like I should. After finding Radio 1 as I started comprehensive School made me laugh many times with the Lolathan and many more things.

Best of luck to you Chris at Capital FM and presenting a sports podcast for Global. Then to Scott to Radio 2 getting the big show able to bring the G’s back to Radio 2 am sure that you will have a long and fulfilled career at 2 creating many more memories and showing listeners what you can do. 

I knew you weren’t to stay forever. But I have a feeling one day someway, somehow you both Scott and Chris will be back stronger (maybe on That Scott Mills Podcast)

Love Ya Bye, Aaron Williams (They//Them) from Port Talbot, South Wales

Oh hi Scott and Chris

Thank you so much for years of joyous radio. Radio 1 will not be the same without you both. You really are the best in the business. 

For as long as I can remember, you've been there on the radio. I remember sitting in the car listening to you on drive on my way home from school, most of the jokes from Bingo went straight over my head, but there were laughs all the same. I've since gone through school, struggled through uni, and now in a job I love. 

There have been some dark times, but the constant that has kept me going is your show. I owe you both, and your fantastic team, a lot. You'll be missed. 

Your ability to switch from fun features such as Innuendo Bingo, 24 Years at the Tap End, Laura's Diary etc, to addressing more serious topics is commendable. The letters to your 10 year old self still stick out to me as a brilliant, thought provoking piece of radio, in a time of such sadness. 

Wishing you both all the best of luck (not that you need it) and success with all that comes in the future. 

Love you bye

Toby

Scott and Chris, I still have no words. I have enjoyed every bit of your show since around 2004 and have seen it grow from strength to strength. You guys were one of the reasons behind me and a group of mates setting up our own online station, it might not have gone anywhere, but we have a laugh doing it as I’m sure you guys have a laugh doing your show. And that’s all that matters.

You’ve helped so many people get through these past 2 years, myself included, so I just want to say thanks for everything and good luck with your next ventures, I’ll be listening!

Go on pigs!

Love you bye, Joe T.

[Monitorabbit]

Lots of happy memories, and lots more to come with your Radio 2 show

Always a fan, and love Eurovision too

Good luck in your new job, you'll be great!!

[harrysmyth]

End of an era!

Thank you for all the truly laugh out loud moments, the sensitive moments, the caring moments, the empathetic moments and the outrageous moments. Thanks mainly for just being two guys that so many people could relate to on the radio and have a joke with them and not at them. It was a special time in radio and will be sorely missed!

Love you bye!

Harry

[Harkinson]

Dear Scott & Chris,

From Innuendo Bingo to Granny Tinder, your show has kept me entertained for years and also got me through some hard times. Radio 1 won't be the same without you. Good luck with your new shows!

Love you bye!

[IsaacM]

Hey Scott and Chris!

No way are you leaving Radio 1! Who'd have thought this day would come, eh?

Thank you for consistently setting the bar high when it comes to Radio. For being effortless and slick in your output, for providing that much needed banter and for being truthful and honest on air. You will be much missed at Radio 1, and afternoon radio won't be the same. I will miss that Quiz!

From coming across you in The Official Christmas Chart 2013 to sitting in for Dan and Phil (on the same night?! unreal!) through the years of Innuendo Bingo, The Whooo Game, Real or No Real, and Bamboleo Wednesday, to features like 'Don't Look It Up', 'Funny Business', 'Where Do You Think They Were' and 'Don't Look It Up', you have truly left a legacy for music entertainment radio and been a real inspiration to young people like me wanting to make their way into the Radio industry.

Thank you, and as you've said so often at the end of a game of Real or No Real - It's been an honour.

Love you bye!

Isaac

ps. Chris, thank you for re-introducing football to Scott - I'm sure he's a fan now!

pps. Thank you for the Birthday shoutout on Christmas Eve Scott - as someone isolating at the time, it meant a lot.
 

[Darren m]

Scott and Chris I am really going to miss hearing you in the afternoons  on radio 1 I really enjoyed listening to your show every afternoon esp innuendo bingo which used to have  me in tears of laughter most times enjoy your final week on air 

[admss]

Thank you so much for all of the laughs and always being there - I feel like we’ve grown up together in a weird way.

Angry Takeaway guy lives rent free in my head - ‘Do you do liver?’

Scott and Chris on Radio 1? Wh0Ooo0Oo

I shall be touching that dial. Love you, bye.

Hi Scott. Hi Chris.

Thank you for being there for me for so many years. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to truly articulate just how much it has meant to have two mates on the radio and absolutely gutted we’ve reached the end of the road. Wishing you all the best at Radio 2 and Capital - Radio 1 will never be the same. Looking forward to the end of the ‘hiatus’. 

 

Love you bye,

Leo
