Hmm I'm alright thanks. I doubt Scott has a webcam either. He's no Leslie Grantham.

Ooh next week we might have more than two people on Your Views at a time, haha. Will mess my body clock right up. But yeah, I've managed two weeks of early mornings :tup:

Hi everyone, I actually made it up to listen to some of the show today, and managed to get an appointment to see a doctor for later, yay. The Livestock Lounge sounded interesting. Now I'm regretting being lazy and not getting up before 10 at all in the last 2 weeks. I might do some listen againing this afternoon though, it sounds like Scott and the team are on good form.

Ah I remember last year they used to play that Upside Down song by Jack Johnson allllll the time. Well it's nice that I managed to get on Your Views for all of 2 minutes. My computer is crap though, that's my excuse for not joining in.

I have to say, I was a bit worried when I turned on the radio and heard that the Live Lounge smelt of poo.

Sounds like Moyles joins the Wurzels, Scott's impression.

Jo Whiley does genuinely sound like she's had fun in the mornings, whereas she sounds so much more uncomfortable when Chris talks to her.

Oh, it's like the end of an era, hearing those pips. :(

Do I go back to bed or not? Hmm..

See you all at 7am in July then. If I've not become some huge media star by then, haha.

Yeah I mean Natasha Bedingfield was in the live lounge months ago. You'd have thought they'd have cleaned it by then.

Bugger forgot to mention the live chat to Scott. Oh well, he might read here.

They've been really really good, early mornings aside. I'm never too awake in the morning so I can never really appreciate the pre eight o clock stuff. But what I have heard has been amezzin'.

See you all at 7am in July then.

Do you know all the dates he's covering then?

No, but I've been up for every breakfast show since the beginning of 2005. You start to see a pattern as to when he does shows. Always sticks out in my mind July 2005 when there was the July 7th bombings.

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
