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.

    • The shows surely being driven for him so all he has to do is talk between the tracks and he can’t get even get that right 
    • I thought the same to that comment, the license fee is going on me babes 
    • What with Jamie Laing, now him. Is it time for a new Head of the station?
    • He also just said coming up we have brand new segment, I thought they were a band 🤣 how did this man get on Radio 1? Aled needs his head testing. It’s an insult people who deserve to be on the radio 
    • Of all the times not mention capital it's probably now? Jordan is flying on breakfast with chris & sian and there's a presenter on friday and saturday that doesn't know who a main r1 artist, tldp are. Mentions capital which surely has to be a big no no given recent events and then says the licence fee goes to me. Talk about vom. We can't have it on here no more as it's that unlistenable and I'm about to switch back for m&m, but this is a Maya Jama x50 level mess of a show. Forget fading the microphone down, the entire show needs fading down
    • As positives go, at least Danny said what the last song played was and upcoming song played was. Plus I guess in that link are perhaps ideas for content (asking listeners to come up with bands from things around them, things that have happened to them this week). That's where's the positives end. It comes across as no thought has gone into what Danny will say next. It gives me proper flashbacks to some Jamie Laing links (especially that one show where he was unexpectedly solo). It's ironic that for all the duos and trios on the station - the one show and DJ that is positively crying out for another DJ to help show them the ropes is left all solo. At least with Jamie Laing they learnt their lesson and he's not been left solo since.
    • How he was just faded out at the end of the link reminded me of the Oscars music fading you out 
    • RPReplay_Final1713612277.mp4   You’re welcome
    • At a time when Radio 1 has surely lost listeners to Capital at Breaktast you’d be trying to protect the station so people switch back.  Certainly yesterday I didn’t switch back to Radio 1 at all.
    • Was abysmal…Surely Danny can’t be a contender for anything permanent when the new schedules are locked in I.e Matt and Mollies slot 
    • Alexandra Burke creating the phrase 'Elephant In The Room' whooooooooo
    • Zane Versus.... Whooooooooo. Do You Do Fridays? WhooOOOooo.  
    • The Capital Breakfast show is right up my street so far - such a fun listen. You've both been great on Radio 1 and are sounding excellent again on Capital A few quickfire questions: You've both been part of some great pairings on radio and on podcast - what goes into making a duo or trio work and sound great on air? Also, Chris - were there ever any discussions about you moving over to Radio 2 with Scott or had the Global offer already come first? Also how do you both go about managing that split between your radio 'you' and the private 'you'? You share a lot on air but also there's some understandably some stuff you keep private (famously Jordan doesn't 'talk about those things'). And how do you make sure if you're having a miserable day or are a bit low that it doesn't come across too much on air?    
    • What a nightmare link at 11.15am this morning. Spent 30 seconds waffling about the name of The Last Dinner Party as if he’d never heard it before, then started mentioning Capital and the license fee, and how it’s been used to pay for him to be there, and was then cut off by the start of the next song.
    • Have been reading this all week. She's such a brave woman. Just got to the chapter where she explains why she missed Scott's leaving event at Radio 1. She talks about leaving Radio 1 because her mum's health got worse, and wanting to quietly leave radio at 44 just how she first arrived on the airwaves at 18. Worth a read!
