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.

    • Yep I really struggled with Matt & Jamie which was a shame as otherwise really like Matt. Unfortunately it comes across on-air whether it's actually try or not that Jamie doesn't know a lot about radio and doesn't seem particularly desperate to improve either or if I'm being generous he's playing an act - neither of which particularly appeals. The everyman act can sometimes work but you need to have that natural likability and appeal for it to do so in the way that way Chris Stark did. I mean even towards the end of his stint with Matt Jamie was struggling with getting the Whatsapp number right which is a basic.
    • Have to say even if there is a good reason for Jamie to be off on Thursdays the optics of them a month in still not be able to do a 'normal week' of the scheduled team for a brand new show isn't great. And if Jamie was meant to be away on Thursdays clearly nobody let whoever runs BBC Sounds know. Who would've guessed from the Vick & Jordan days though that it would be Vick who's the everpresent so far (just kidding Vick - really rate her as a DJ and I know she has a lot of other engagements outside of Radio 1).
    • Sorry explain what you mean there please? Danny is unlistenable?? 
    • I dunno if it is me but even Vick and Katie don't sound as good in that slot alone as they did before. Maybe I have just fallen out of love with it all.
    • Agree with most of this above. Listening to only vick and katie today, I was thinking that it doesn't need Jamie. Its very jarring how sometimes he's there and sometimes he isn't. I don't think it needs to be a trio. Surely there are bigger problems at the moment, Danny on a pretty big slot on the station is literally unlistenable.
    • Yes, the length of the time on the station does help as with Annie Mac she did what dance specialist DJs kind of get a bit more favourability with the evening listeners who start out on something specialist. With Annie Mac she did years on dance before going to the flagship new music specialist programme with giving opportunities to new DJs and curating the playlist and having something different from Clara’s more music daytime show where she had to work with the playlist. Had she done more time doing a specialist show later on in the schedule it may have oddly made the moment bigger. Think sometimes what has helped create such a unique sound in presenters and personalities like Annie Mac, Jack and Grimmy for example starting out doing a late show with looser format. Think for the next Jack, Annie and Clara’s of the station do need to have a late live slot and do hope when radio 1 relax is shut down that maybe they change the power down playlist for something with bit more freedom.
    • She is a good broadcaster no doubts but am of the same page with feelings mutual.
    • Clara was always a decent, competent and even good music radio presenter. But equally, she never provoked really strong emotions in me that I must listen or must switch off.
    • Jamie is definitely very divisive though.  Some people's "radio comedy gold" is other people's "unlistenable".  I have liked Matt and Mollie, Matt on his own, Mollie and Jordan etc etc.  But couldn't listen to Matt with Jamie. No hate on Jamie but I just don't like his sense of humour.
    • The dynamics of this are interesting.  Jordan works best with people he knows and he already knows Chris and Sian so from day one it should sound fairly natural.  
    • Have an amazing birthday Scott!  Looking forward to Tuesday! 
    • This has to be a joke right. This is so Scott Mills 🤣
    • Greg's shoe live and Jordan on catchup so can skip ads
