I’m thinking maybe they’re trying him out for a proper daytime show, maybe Scott’s slot if he goes to breakfast?

I highly doubt it to be fair. Like Gary Davies, he's a safe pair of hands. I'd assume Gary is unavailable on Monday. He covered the same slot quite regularly when he was last at Radio 2 and Ken Bruce was at the helm. If (and that's a big if) there ends up being changes at breakfast, i'd like to think OJ Borg will finally be given the chance to get a daytime slot.

He will be the first person to have hosted Popmaster (on both R2 and Greatest Hits Radio) and Ten To The Top.

Nick Grimshaw is in for Rylan on Saturday 2nd November.

This feels like a great fit and would be a perfect permanent show if Rylan decided to leave.

Funny how we've got both Nick & Shaun Keaveny doing cover on both Virgin Radio & Radio 2 (plus Grimmy putting in a cover shift over at 6 Music too).

Indeed. Looking forward to hearing Grimmy on Saturday. He did a good job covering for Jo Whiley the other month. Rylan should be off during December as well so hopefully he pops up then as well. 

Owain, Vernon, Scott and Rylan are all in panto this year so expect lots of cover presenters during December.

    • I think Ellie has definitely proven to be been a great fit.  The story of her finding a flat and Roger the cat was a real ice breaker for the feel of the show as a whole I think.  Add to that Scott giving Ellie his ticket to the Brits and the stories that came from it, I really think she adds value. Not only is the rapport between her and Scott already brilliant, but she also comes across as a funny, down to earth presenter in her own right.  I think she's fab and will only continue to get better as the show progresses. I would initially have agreed with the thought that she could be a co-presenter, and I suppose her prominence in the show is such that she could be seen as that, seemlessly.  However, for me the show is a bit too guest-heavy for a co-presenter.  That's probably just the nature of having such a high-profile show, I think it might feel like too many voices to try to get a fairly short (and sincere) interview in with a huge star. Back in the days of R1 when they could play fun games with the guests then yes, but I get the impression that Scott needs to go for serious and genuine with most of the ones he has had so far. I mostly prefer the bits of radio without guests - that goes for all radio shows, not just Scott's.  The 6.30-8am where it's just Scott, Ellie, and Tina, are my favourite bits of the show for sure.  Which is a long winded way of me saying that Ellie was a great choice 😄 
    • @Opalmoon I couldn't agree with you more. Scott and Chris made genuine magic happen on the radio and I'm starting to think that nothing will ever equal that era.  I often listen back to the old podcasts, and I think you've hit the nail on the head when you say they were effortlessly funny together.  They could make the most simple of things laugh-out-loud funny, and it must have been because they were real friends who just used to make each other laugh, which in turn made brilliant radio.   They have both gone on to do such big things apart, probably more than if they had carried on together at Radio 1, and I'm really pleased for them both.  I don't think you're stuck in the mud (if you are then I am too) - a Scott and Chris podcast would be a dream come true. I'm not sure it could even be a thing while they are both working at different stations, but I hope they can make it work one day.  With Beccy producing, that would be the icing on the cake!   I would love for Scott to be a guest on Chris & Tom Kerridge's podcast, if nothing else.   Who knows, maybe one day Chris will find himself back at the BBC on 5Live and we'd have more chance of having them back working together then.
    • Lauren in for Danni on 28th and 29th March.
