Richie Anderson is also in for Dermot next week! Don’t think he’s covered that show before - hasn’t he just done Holiday specials and covered for Rylan? 

Richie’s never cover for Rylan. One of his holiday specials aired during Rylan’s slot if that’s what you mean? 
 

Richie has also covered Sara Cox

The only cover he's done was for Sara Cox on drive when she was I'll (the day before Steve Wright stayed on till 6, and Adele Roberts who was sitting in for Jo started at 6). He once stepped in very last minute for Zoë Ball until Ken tool over at 08:30.

 

His most recent show was on Christmas Eve, in Rylan's timeslot, but he's never officially covered Rylan (which surprises me to be fair).

He and Ken have done that Zoe thing twice.

Seems to be a last minute change.

 

No Tony Blackburn this weekend so..

Johnnie Walker is hosting Sounds Of The 60's on Saturday morning

Paul Gambaccini will be doing this Sunday's Golden Hour.

 

 

 

 

Don’t remember since he starting his golden hour apart of maybe one week ever having Golden Hour covered.

Richie Anderson is in for Scott Mills on Tuesday 9th and Thursday 11th May. The show will be coming from Liverpool all week (BBC Radio Merseyside's studios I'd assume).

He's also in for Scott on Monday 1st, 8th and 29th May (all bank holidays).

Steve Wright is on 4-7pm on both bank holiday's (Monday 1st and 8th May). 

Gaby Roslin is covering the 12-2pm slot on Monday 1st May with 'Songs that bring you joy'.

Apparently Gary Davies is in for Zoe for 3 weeks from that date. He’ll have been on weekdays for 13 consecutive weeks by the end of that having done the mid-morning show up until that point too.

Yes. He mentioned it the day Vernon's start day was announced. He also said he will still be the stand in on mid mornings. So the likelihood is that he'll probably do that and share breakfast cover with Nicki Chapman. Zoe's filming a new show for ITV.

    • There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first. 
    • It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?
    • Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also
    • For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?
    • They seem to be using James more for cover now makes me think it will be him getting weekends eitjer breakfast or 1 till 4 
    • Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.
    • Ore Olukoga is in for Arielle on Tuesday 14th May. James Cusack is in for Danny Beard on Saturday 1st June. James Cusack is in for Nat on Sunday 2nd June.
    • I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg. 
    • They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!
    • How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it? 
    • I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!
    • A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.
    • He must be in his element. At Eurovision and a Gold award!
    • I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.     
    • So pleased for Scott on his best entertainment show win. As much as I miss his R1 style, he clearly puts so much into his shows, well deserved and it’s a big two fingers up to all the abuse he has had since joining R2
