<b>Is Scott a reformed character?</b>

It’s the day after the Brits and lo and behold, Scott isn’t sporting a hangover from hell. Despite having gone to the awards and two after parties, Scott was very proud to tell us that he drank lots of wine (naturally) and loads of water (good boy). Not only did he behave himself all night but went for a run this morning. Is this the new clean(ish) living Scott that we all know and love? How long is it going to last? Should we be running a book?

<b>Wags at the heart of the music industry</b>

Scott had the pleasure of sitting next to a Wag during the ceremony. Not only did she spend the whole time applying her lipstick as the awards were being given out, she also showed a startling knowledge of all the bands and artistes by er… not recognizing any of them. Luckily Scott was on hand to help guide her through the cream of British music.

<b>More from the Brits</b>

Other Brits gossip includes Liam having stolen Blanche from Corrie’s sunglasses. We hope he asked her first. Also, we heard about Stephen Tyler, lead singer of Aerosmith showing diplomacy of UN proportions as far as the new cover of his original 'Walk this Way' in aid of Comic Relief was played to him. "It's for charity," he mused.

Rather worryingly, Chappers mentioned that he thought that Stephen’s long hair and make up could easily confuse "a heterosexual man" after a few pints of ale. Scott wondered whether Chappers was trying to tell us something. Does he actually fancy Stephen? Could this be the start of something beautiful? Watch this space....

Scott also managed to lose his trousers. Unfortunately there was nothing suspect about this; he’d had to change into his suit and had left his clothes in a bag in the Radio 1 studio on site. His bag had then gone AWOL - but only temporarily. They’ve been located and both owner and said trousers have been emotionally reunited.

<b>Mums Matchmaking Inc</b>

Gemma rang in. She’d gone for what she thought would be a nice gals-night-out-drink with her mum the previous evening. When her mum kept disappearing, Gemma found out to her horror, that she'd collared some men drinking at the other side of the pub in order to get Gemma a date. She’d even left a mobile phone number so they could call over the next few days. Gemma had never been so embarrassed in life. Mum thinks that her matchmaking is nothing short of proactive but Scott and Chappers agree with Gemma thinks that mum’s behaviour is just wrong. Really wrong!

But she’s not alone. The next caller told us that her mum would go searching the pubs trying to find her three daughters husbands. Carrying a photo of all three of her offspring, mum thought nothing of giving out her daughter’s number to any young man she thought could be a good husband in-the-making. A well intentioned strategy perhaps - but clearly not right.

The next call came from Kristen, who told us about an evening she'd had with her mum in Las Vegas. They'd been having a drink in a Kyote Ugly stylee joint and after a few, Kristen had jumped up on to the bar to shake her booty. Dancing away, suddenly someone shouted at her "great pair of boobs" at which point everyone startied clapping - even to Kristen's horror - her mum. Eughhh!

Scott now wants to do the show from the same bar in Vegas. It appears however that Kyote Ugly type establishments are springing up everywhere. From Derby and Mansfield to Stevenage, he might be finding himself slightly closer to home.

<b>Lube Anyone?</b>

It's the gang's favourite TV show - BBC 3's Wedding Stories. The couple of the week had to be Peter and Carlton, a gay couple getting hitched in a civil ceremony. All was going to plan, until it came to the time to exchange rings. You'd hope that the rings had been fitted prior to the service, but for Peter and Carlton, it seemed not to have been the case. So what do you do if a ring doesn't fit? Simple. Just ask (quite loudly) if anyone has any lube. Yes. Lube. That's LUBE. At a wedding. Exactly the place you'd take your lube if you had any. Keys? Check. Wallet? Check. Lube?...... We've yet to find out what happened next, but you can rest assured we're all holding our breath.

    • I think it's great the amount of choice out there right now. I could happily listen to Greg or Jordan in the morning, Going Home or Huw Stephens in the evening, or Scott and Matt and Mollie in afternoons.  Still a few times when I'm channel hopping but maybe that's healthy to check out what's around.  As that research pointed out, Scott is good for minimal distractions. If you want some chaos I dare say it'll be Matt and Mollie offering that.  Plenty of my friends say it's the Radio 1 playlist that puts them off, even if they like the DJs. So Radio 2 is more preferable. 
    • I quite quickly gave up on Scott’s show on R2 as I realised it wasn’t my kind of vibe. I do listen to the Scott Mills weekly to catch up, because I still think Scott is great, but there is just something missing (for example, he played out some clips recently of the old sleep recording app from the R1 days, and didn’t play ‘go and open the window Garry’ - or if he did, it didn’t make it to the podcast.) I don’t see them changing it now or making it any ‘younger’ than it is.   Matt & Mollie in the afternoon is something that I’m really looking forward to. They are such an interesting and funny listen. It has given me a different dilemma though, as 1pm has been the perfect time for me to catch up on the Capital breakfast show and takes me perfectly to the end of my working day, so now I’ll probably have to forego listening to that and stick with R1 for Matt & Mollie. These shows need podcasts because it’s already giving me fomo. 
    • Even for the older Radio 1 listeners (of which there are still quite a few) Scott’s show doesn’t feel quite right.  (That’s nothing on Scott who sounds good but more the station sound and content). Since moving to Capital Breakfast I haven’t been listening to much Radio 1.  I always found the shows outside of Breakfast and Drive more wallpaper due to my working day and the show content of RMC and Dean and Vicky so Capital is just background noise to me after enjoying Breakfast.
    • I love Scott but if you're a 20 or 30 something that enjoyed his last few years of Radio 1 the Radio 2 show just doesn't translate. Stars from Neighbours or 90s singers just aren't my cup of tea and I can't get enthused about some has been at Radio 2 in the Park or some country music countdown.  Until that changes I will probably more likely listen to Matt and Mollie.  The Steve Wright fans think Radio 2 has turned into Radio 1 but it has a long way to go to win over the older R1 audience. 
    • Radio 2 brought in Scott to bring the afternoon audience age down, but I feel with Matt and Mollie replacing Dean and Vicky they're going to be competing for a similar audience. Will Scott's show evolve to bring in more listeners or do you think they will be comfortable with the audience they currently have?
    • Yes I'm the same with 6Music. Huw Stephens offers something different. 
    • They are an answer. I do listen to 6 Music quite a bit but kind of feel like it isn’t for me unlike the New Music Fix Daily, Huw Stephens who I’d happily listen to. Think it’s a generational thing and music preference. But it’s like how 1 Xtra cut down Snoochie Shy’s nightly show to just Monday and with Wednesday and Thursday with just playlist programme. I just miss the days of having more choice of that time of night.
    • Practically speaking, Riley & Coe on 6Music is the answer to that problem - but I get your overall point.
    • Yes and thats the huge selling point after 6pm as always has been in the evening. As when I started listening to radio 1 about eleven twelve years ago its the station that got me into music new and familiar artists and bands. I think the issue with a lot of the new music shows being crammed in length of the shows and not all is live there’s less chance for a presenter to tell you about the band or artist or have the impression of chatting to the listener by reading out texts and emails or including voice notes. I’m really enjoying Jack Saunders’ new music show as thats how you do a show like that on Radio 1 good mix of genres but from 10pm onwards you don’t have the presenter chatting to the listener or that live feel as sometimes you need at that time.
    • Given one of yesterday’s ‘bangers’ was Noah Kahan’s Stick Season, I doubt it.
    • No chart show on the 24th May because of Big Weekend.
    • How has it been working early mornings as a parent, Chris? Is it harder to juggle than the 1-4 slot?
    • I still think Dua Lipa could make the line-up. She's in the Live Lounge soon. Would be a scoop if they had two of the key Glastonbury performers.
    • Is the three bangers after nine idea meant to compete with Ten Minute Takeover? 
    • Connor Coates is in for Charlie Hedges on Saturday 18th May. Kerrie Cosh is in for Jess on Sunday 19th May.
