Established 3rd October 1957, the Big Dawg is 50 on Wednesday. What a remarkable achievement for him to be still on the station and doing his thing. We can only hope that Radio 1 will be putting it about just like Radio 1's 40th Birthday tomorrow. God love him...

So with just a few days to go, we ask what has been your favourite Westwood moment?

favourite moment.... lots but stand out was his safe sex message on the sunday surgery... and i will quote the legend...

"strap it up before you slap it up"....

wise words indeed.... young 'un's take note!!

Murray said of the track: "Were the intelligentsia ... we don't need to be crass about getting Malcolm Middleton to Number One. Do you remember when Belle & Sebastian won a Brit Award? That's the route I want to take."

Ooh he has my vote now he's mentioned Belle and Sebastian.

I dont think that we really care about who is number one, but usually there is a big fuss about the xmas number 1, something to do with sales......

I think id really like to hear something christmassy, like white christmas, but if thats not possible....id prefer something ironic like Malcolm Middleton.

I also like colin's idea of fighting apathy and making things happen.

Its also funny/ironic that the R1 DJs have so much power and influence, if Scott, Colin and Edith, so far, support Malcolm Middleton then the record stands a good chance of going high in the charts.

Maybe they could also promote other songs like Fairy tale of New York?

Well if that's true then why is everyone saying what they'd like to see at number one at Christmas?

I just find it weird.

There/ They're/ Their. Different words.

Update:

He is fourth favourite to take this year’s coveted holiday season prize behind such luminaries as Shaun The Sheep and whoever the X Factor winner may be.

He started the week at 1000/1 according to William Hill, the longest odds they’d ever given for a Christmas Number 1 contender, but has now been shortened dramatically to 20/1.

The full list of odds are:

1. X-Factor - 2-7

2. Sugababes - 4-1

3. Soul Ja Boy - 7 -1

4. Sean The Sheep - 14-1

5. Andy Williams - 14-1

6. Malcolm Middleton - 20-1

7. Amy Winehouse - 23-1

    • It's amazing how stable that slot has been over the past 20 years - 3 presenters only. By comparison, the previous 20 years seen 8 or 10 presenters depending how you measure it.  (Whether you treat Kevin and Zoe as separate to Zoe and whether you count Mark Goodier's 4 months on Breakfast as more than just cover).
    • On July 8th Greg will surpass Grimmy's tenure on Radio 1 breakfast (5 years, 319 days) as the second-longest breakfast show presenter. He has already passed Tony Blackburn and Sim Mayo. I'm not sure if he will make Moyles' record of 8 years, 253 days, but he certainly still seems fresh and full of ideas!
    • I guess we'll have to wait and see when the new schedule kicks in, although I could see Scott staying where he is.  Assuming that's the case and there are no other moves, there would be several available studios for Matt & Mollie - 82C or 82E of the 'old' studios, and 82M or 82N of the new ones. 
    • The BBC commissioning brief mentions it is a 'mid morning show' for Radio 1 Dance https://www.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/radio/documents/comm_brief_r1_dance_morning_show.pdf
    • Nothing to apologise about, I was just intrigued on how DS and UM react
    • I would be pretty confident that if they keep avoiding using James Cusack on that slot over the next few weeks, then it will probably be him that gets the show permanently! 
    • That’s two names who probably won’t be doing that slot permanently then.
    • Moyles spent most of the 52hr sgow calling him that lol
    • I stand guilty as charged as the DS poster.... It was I Okay, so yes Connor has good energy and does the show well, I take it back, however, my last experience of him he spent every other link saying "It's Connor Coates in for the ledge that is Charlie Hedges" and then he started saying "Clem Douglas" - again after critisising that I see she is styled as that sometimes The point I was trying to make was, yes we know it's Charlies show, we know she is a ledge, and we know she is not here today, no need to keep reminding us Regards R1 dance, I suspect Arielle is pointed at the drivetime slot to go against Mistajam unless we know it is breakfast that will be live ? Apologies to Connor and anyone offended by my comments, was just going on my past experience of Mr Coates, who seems to be a very competnt presenter  
    • I know we have discussed this before, but can someone shed some light hoping @Lily Georgia can help Since the Wogan House closure, and 1-330 from Manchester, studio 82A (Mills) has been used by Scott's R2 show, in fact i note that him and Grandad Nelson are from there now days The question I have is with 1-330 coming from London again soon, who is getting a new studio? will Scott move to one of the newer ones down the corridor or will he remain in 82A and M&M get a new studio They cannot use 82D as that is used for drive, and currenlty 82A is in use by Scott from 2-4pm In the old days it used to be 82A for Greg, Scott, Annie and 82D Adele, RMC, Drive, Jack I note that Jack is in a brand new studio so maybe M&M will come from that one as well, maybe the same one as Vine uses?
    • Maia Beth is doing Friday Early Breakfast on 7th & 14th June.
    • Joel Mitchell is in for Nat on Sunday 9th June.
    • Ore Olukoga is on 13.00-16.00 on Friday 31st May and Friday 7th June.  Nikita Kanda is doing Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd June.
    • Very pleased for producer Amy - it's no coincidence many of the best shows in recent years have had her working on them. You can tell her & Helena are a great production duo and that the whole Matt & Mollie team are a really close-knit unit in general. Some lovely speeches by both Matt & Mollie too to end the show on Sunday.
