There's one for Radio 1, so may as well start an equivalent thread for Radio 2.

Judi Love is in for Rob Beckett on Sunday afternoon.

Ronnie Wood (from the Rolling Stones) is sitting in for Cerys Matthews on the Blues show on Monday 19th December

Adele Roberts is covering Radio 2's early breakfast show from the 19th till 23rd December.

Gaby is a safe pair of hands, clearly not trying to rock the boat with the cover!

Apparently Gary Davies was very briefly listed as cover, but that quickly changed when Ken's show needed covering too.

 

I'm assuming Anita Rani wasn't available either. I wouldn't mind hearing Adele Roberts being used to cover Scott's show next time he has a week or two off next year. She's doing a great job on early breakfast from the bits I've listened back to.

Gaby Roslin and Ricky Wilson have been great together, whenever subbing at Virgin Radio. I hear that Wilson is going to be given his own slot, but it just seems a no-brainer to me to give it to them as a pair, and let them do whatever they want with it ...

I wonder if vernon may take over Rylans show on sat and he takes takes Ken’s show

That just isn't happening. Both of them have lots of TV committments. Dermot, Claudia and Rylan work well on a Saturday... I don't see any benefit to moving any of them.

Without going too much off topic... I did wonder when Vernon would be back on as it's been a while since he's covered. He did seem to fall out of favour for cover opportunities (I suppose that could be on his part and being unavailable) with Gary Davies doing the last few lots of breakfast cover, and the likes of Anita Rani and OJ Borg sitting in for Dermot and Rylan.

    • I have accepted Chris is unlikely to join Scott's show, and that Chappers has moved on, but I still think he could do with a co-host. The most logical solution, I think, is Rylan. He appears more often on his show than not, and they are great together. Radio 2 could lose Rylan's Saturday show and extend his reach by appearing during the week. I think they'd be great!
    • Tattoo took a while to grow on me. I couldn't see the fuss until weeks after. We have a split household here where the war on Gaza is overshadowing an enjoyment. I'm hoping for a protest of some sort. 
    • I've heard that the staging is very impressive.  That and him being "known" might prevent an embarrassing result.  I'm a terrible judge of Eurovision though as Tattoo is still so very meh to me.
    • Feels like after the success of Sam Ryder we are going back to our old ways. Olly Alexander's song is pretty weak. Anyone fancy our chances this year? 
    • The more time goes on the more you think if they'd actually put some thought into it it should've been Vick & Katie from the start. A proven pairing and Katie ended up on the show anyway - whereas Katie's even mentioned she was only asked to join after the Jamie announcement And even by Going Home standards on time off, it's quite funny that a few months in we still haven't had a full week of the supposed line-up - and that's with a 4-day week.  
    • I heard something about what is your favourite wood? Wtf 😂
    • Was the same vibe on the Easter Monday show they did too. Just random questions and the like…. Katie is definitely the glue around making the show listenable. 
    • Vick and Jamie together are quite… awkward. Random discussion seems to be at an all time high without Katie. Maybe it’s just that there’s a lack of features today.
    • Jamie not even knowing about the big weekend day and the fact he starts the show at 14:00 just says everything.
    • I still haven’t forgiven Radio 1 for signing Laing. Vick and Jordan was good, you could hear the chemistry on air 
    • I just want to add though that I am beginning to enjoy the show a bit more now that it’s settled in - I think Jamie (when he’s there) has calmed down a bit and then the new features that have been progressively added over the last couple of weeks have been good too.    I still don’t think it’s a patch on Vick and Jordan together, but it is now a show that seems like it could have legs into the future and once Matt and Mollie start in July, I could see myself sticking with R1 all afternoon.
    • I think it’s a slimmer line-up and seems to fall short in previous years where it seemed almost double that I know Raye is booked to perform and is a headline name. I think the issue with a station like capital they are dealing with a rather lacklustre year for pop and theres no real big pulls for pop festivals that are an easy sell out right now. I think Capital has had seen it’s Capital Ball’s as for any generic pop music listener I don’t know whether Bradley Simpson, Aitch and Paul Russel have the universality to play in a stadium even Sugababes think it would be better if they chosen a smaller outdoor location or Wembley arena.
    • He's in bed sick today so not sure it will happen this weekend. 
    • Don't think it's the most amazing line-up. They seemed to really be pushing people to buy tickets on release day. 
    • 12th May 10:30-13:00: James Cusack in for Nat O'Leary
