Hmm, well there's Scott's content for the first hour. 'Waking up lazy listeners'. For all those times you've rang Radio 1, Scott gives something back to the nation by getting the phone operators to ring you!

Ah, wait, that's basically Sting Ring... haha.

Time - 3am - still awake. Just spent twenty minutes waiting for an ambulance for my mum who's not been breathing well all night. Ideally I want to be getting up in three hours!

Well she's calmed down now, and dad's up with the ambulance people. But they won't take her to a hospital 30 miles away, and recommend seeing a GP even though there are none a.) on a weekend b.) bank holiday c.) at night. Confusing, basically they're saying the NHS is stupid and suggesting something that isn't there. They haven't suggested much, just to leave it till later. Which now half the night is gone, we might as well.

Yeah basically they've said she overdosed on inhalers, which the doctors shouldn't have prescribed to her. I think listening to Scott will do me good, might cheer me up. Unless he's sh*t, then it'll depress me more :bah: Haha.

I don't know DC. I couldn't leave mine on, the noise would keep me awake as it's in my room.

Well I'll set up my recording if I remember how to sort it so early in the morning. Right, bed time, back in two hours probably...

First question of the day, did any one see Passion of the Christ (that's like my second movie of the weekend, I could be Barry Norman at this rate!) or Lucy the Teenage Transexual on BBC Three. I was hoping it'd be a slightly bizarre amusing show, but it was quite sympathetic at times. Bar when she was getting boobs and moaned because they were only A cup and then eventually C up. I bet there were girls out there who started to dislike her then...

morning Johno. I'm glad i'm not the only mad one up at this time in the morning on a holiday. I'm good thanks and My dog finally had her puppies yesterday which is even better. I hope you don't mind me starting the requests thread it was just i wasen't sure if anyone else were going to be on and i didn't want to miss anything.

How are you?

Ah, I'd almost forgotten about your puppies! Yeah I'm alright this morning, tired, but that's all the fun of it. Now let's see who I can wake up... may be Grace?

Hmm, I'm not sure you'll get Sharam in between 6.59 and 7.00... I always thought they started bang on the hour, ah may be it has started, I was expecting a significant start to the show.

Humm no Nore am i somehow. Although you know what scotts like with playing two records before actually speaking at the start of the show. I was going to post a thread about the puppies but i have to photo's yet so its a bit pointless. I can tell you she had 6 though. 5 black and white ones and one golden and white one.

    • Just Vick and Katie on Wednesday (and presumably Thursday as well).
    • Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.   
    • Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background. 
    • They knew Roman wanted to leave early last year but wasn't officially announced but he gave them time to sort replacement. Found and offered Jordan a deal in June or July and needed time to get Jordan out of Contract at bbc and roman to do notice  Jordan had dinner with Katie Vick and Arielle to ask advice and all said he should go.   
    • And they told Radio 4’s Feedback that it was an ‘experiment’ to ‘look at the best way to serve young listeners’ but reaffirmed that 280 hours commitment.
    • I doubt he wanted to go to Global if a slot before he found out kemp was leaving.
    • We're hoping to get some answers in the coming weeks
    • From what he's saying on the Pod he's been trying to get out of r1 for a while. Looks like he needed to wait for a show on global to be available. Jordan had bbq last summer with most of thr global execs and he's referenced the deal was in place then. Obviously the hold up was r1 being stubborn
    • All seems to be back to normal this morning.
    • Indeed and Jordan was already friends with Sian Welby, Will Manning and Jimmy Hill.  
    • It's great to see those friendships still thriving. I think the days of Radio 1 DJs and Capital DJs being unable to co-exist is long over. You used to either be firmly BBC or commercial, and you don't get the sense that's the case anymore. 
    • Maia Beth will be presenting the Radio 1 Happy shows from the 27th April replacing Katie.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001ydkr
    • Vick and Jordan together on Insta (with Ariel’s) in Ibiza. You do imagine Jordan’s ex colleagues have a very different attitude to him than management. Comments on Help! And very subtle comments on Capital Breakfast suggest Jordan was frustrated with Radio 1 / BBC management.  
    • I can name quite a few people on this forum who would be better presenters than Danny.
    • His NYE shows were very good. Only thing I would say is he was shackled down slightly there. During his peak he played some great trance stuff in the late 90s and early 00s. So if he were to do a regular show that would have to feature more. Aside from I'd love to see him back.
