The press release said that, but it also states on the press release that Mark Goodier will be live as well, which is certainly not correct as the Pick Of The Pops Christmas special is already available on Sounds. Jane pre recorded last year's Christmas day special, along with the two bank holiday shows she did earlier in the year. I stand to be corrected though 🤷

Steffan Powell (former Radio 1 Newsbeat presenter/newsreader) is sitting in for Owain Wynn Evans on New Year's Day/2nd/3rd January.

A few other schedule changes going into December:

Shaun Keaveny in for Liza Tarbuck tonight (30th November)

Tina Daheley in for Jeremy Vine on Tuesday 3rd December

Jason Mohammed in for Owain on Friday 6th December.

Romesh off again next week (7th) so Emma Willis sits in

Nick Grimshaw in for Rylan on Saturday 14th, 21st and 28th (I assume he's in the following Saturday as well with Rylan still in Panto).

I see Gaby is covering breakfast so I assume she is covering the following week as well and Scott starts on like the 6th or something? do you remember when Zoe started it was like the 2nd or 3rd of Jan 2019 wasn't it?

Take that back was 14th January so maybe there will be 2/3 weeks of Gaby covering

Grimmy in for Rylan on Saturday 4th January 

Week Commencing 6th January 

Gary Davies is still in for Vernon

Edith Bowman in for Jo Whiley

Spoony is 'in' for Trevor Nelson. I'm not sure whether that means he's finished on Rhythm Nation by this point, but I'm surprised Spoony is covering what is effectively his own slot so close to him taking over with The Good Groove. It also means someone else will be covering the afternoon show... Hopefully OJ Borg.

It won't be the first week of new shows. Pretty sure I read that Trevor Nelson has specifically said now about starting 'late Jan' which ties in with several comments about w/c 27 Jan being the launch week. After panto, Scott will need a break and prep time, in order to then have a decent run of the new show before any breaks.

Is that a late change? It was meant to be Spoony today and tomorrow wasn’t it?

Yeah I think so. Spoony was meant to be on all week (except Christmas day). Tomorrow and Boxing Day was definitely meant to be Spoony followed by Richie at 4, but they've just merged the two shows together on those days.

Richie is actually on for 5 hours on Boxing Day between 2 and 7.

Mark Goodier is presenting the breakfast show next week, with OJ Borg on the afternoon show and Phil Williams on overnights all week.

Seems Spoony has had brain surgery over Christmas. Hope he is ok. Nice to see OJ has some weekday cover slots as well. Wonder if Mark will be the go to cover now with Scott? Gary in for Vernon as well.

I heard Spoony revealing it on the radio, understandably he gotta bit emotional when talking about it. Glad to hear he's on the mend and back on air.

OJ is the main stand in for Sara (he's covering this week bar tonight and tomorrow because of no drive time show on NYE/NYD) but yeah I'm glad he's doing the interim afternoon slot from next week. It's a shame he didn't get the slot full time to be fair. Will be interesting to see who covers Trevor going forwards. I don't think we'll see Mark covering often to be fair. He's only done one day cover since he returned (one day in fir Vernon). OJ and Gary Davies seem to fill the void that Mark Goodier used to fill sitting in for the main DJs. They're probably just a bit stuck for cover presenters at the moment. Had Grimmy not still been on 6 music next week, he would've been a good shout to sit on either show (his Rylan cover has been great but that's for another post)

    • 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.
