I'd rather have actually heard more from the Electric Proms rather than the equivalent of a 'Radio 1 presents Oasis' which is all it seems to be. There's a special show tomorrow night but it seems all the other bands have been pushed aside for this, and they will only focus on the indie side of stuff.

It seemed a bit pointless putting Grimmy and Annie on late when the kids will be in bed, anyway.

Well, yeah, me too. I remember three years ago the coverage was brilliant. I remember we were hearing The Good, The Bad, and The Queen's material for the first time and they kept having to stop and start singing again. They were like "Oh, but now you can sing along now!", it was a very good listen, cheered me up when I was sitting there ill in bed.

They've been putting a lot of the material on the shows before Early Breakfast, I think it would have been great if they just had them all live as I would have liked to listen to Burt Bacharach. The thing is, maybe a lot of this wouldn't suit the Radio 1 audience.

But Oasis have been particularly always on Radio 1, even Noel did that whole Established 1967 thing and when Stop The Clocks came out, he did that Live Lounge. He has a whole history of being friends with Jo Whiley and I bet if she wasn't off having a baby, she'd be doing their introduction. I guess they shouldn't be calling it their own thing, but it's not like they're not doing commentary and everything between it.

And yeah, I agree, there wasn't a need to have them on that late.

I like the idea of the Electric proms, but watching the audience it does seem to be a bit elitist, and listening to R1 talking about it almost all the audience seem to be employed by the BBc or friends and family! I wonder how tickets were allocated?

If they filmed it intending it for broadcast as Tv show etc why not put it on as a more mainstream programme at an earlier time?

Maybe Radio 1 and 2 could use the footage and put it on as a bank holiday special in a few months time.

For the week begining 17th November. Huw now seems to be the first choice fill in for the evening shows which is interesting. Nihal and Annie Mac don't seemed to be used as much in these slots any more.

Nihal did 2 Thursdays for Colin then last night they got Grimmy doing it which was an odd choice for that show

I was under the belief that Colin broadcasts live from a studio near Five when he presented TV coverage.

It depends where the football match is being played. Sometimes he is in a studio close to Radio 1, but on other occasions he will be at the stadium where the game is being played, which means he has no chance of being able to do his radio show.

Correct, except on one occasion when he did a match very close to the BBC Radio Scotland so did the show from there. Five's coverage finished at ten and he did his first link at 10 past ten! While we're on the subject he's a great football presenter.
