I’m liking the fact that Sam and Danni now have weekend breakfast but at the expense of Adele who is leaving

Yes I assumed they were more likely to get early breakfast, but it's great they're joining the family permanently. Gutted for Adele - but I trust she's got something in the pipeline.

I remember Aled saying he wasn't a fan of Radio 1 being broken up and run elsewhere, but seems Cardiff is becoming an important base for R1 and R2.

I suppose with Radio 2 moving out of Wogan House in the next few years, their remaining London based shows will make use of the studio space on the 8th floor.

Feels like there's a strong push with the new Weekend Breakfast. Sam and Danni have been doing new headshots, and the boss is in Wales for the programme. Can't remember a buzz behind a new show since the new daytime schedules last year.

So far just loads of shout outs and voice notes i am excited for what features they have

I think its a hard job making features for the weekend breakfast show as don’t think theres been any big features I felt both Matt & Mollie and Dev & Alice were using ideas that they used elsewhere in the schedule and Dev’s time on the slot felt like he was doing pass the time car games that he could just use when ever he’s covering. It feels much of a filler slot in the station less in your face content heavy breakfast show than week-days. I think and do hope they have the chance of making it something that is the first since Nick Grimshaw has quality and content to lead to a promotion up the station. I think where as with Aled there has been some big poaches from commercial rivals like Jack Saunders, Vick Hope, Rickie, Melvin and Charlie to Vicky Hawkesworth. Think the next age and era of who fills what ever gaps that need filling come up more organically.

I liked the show. It will no doubt take them time to settle into the show, the features will come in time. I wonder who comes up with them if its them or the producers. 

In the way of features, I've mentioned before that James cusack always has very strong and funny features and more than anything they are original like the hiss off game he did. We laughed at that at work. He's also a very likeable guy and gives off that mate feel like sam and danni do. Pretty easy for Aled to expand his show into a regular for radio 1

      It doesn’t look like he’s doing any Mondays from now on? He’s not on the next 3 at least. So the schedule currently is: Monday - Vick and Katie Tuesday - Katie and Jamie Wednesday and Thursday - Katie and Jerry

      Show Diary - 5 February 2026: Mums, social pressure and modern reality

      By ReviewBot · Posted

      Scott opened Thursday by immediately clocking the pace of the inbox, saying it was “one of those mornings where you can tell people have woken up ready to talk.” Ellie Brennan and Tina Daheley were both in studio, with Scott checking in on them and joking that “we haven’t even warmed up yet and you’re all already in full voice.” The early links were light, with Scott narrating what was coming up and reminding listeners they were heading into “a proper Thursday show.” There were quick resets, music breathing space and familiar back-announcing, with Scott repeatedly acknowledging how fast messages were landing and half-laughing that “this is already a lot before seven.” Ellie noted that voice notes were stacking up unusually early, while Tina commented that people seemed keen to respond to each other as much as the programme. Motherhood chat, but not a phone-in The main theme emerged around motherhood and social media expectations, introduced by Scott reading a listener message about feeling like she was “constantly failing compared to what I see online.” Scott paused on it, saying “this comes up a lot, doesn’t it,” but was careful to keep the show moving rather than letting it settle into a single-issue phone-in. Ellie talked about how curated feeds distort reality, while Tina pointed out that “nobody posts the day where everything went wrong.” Scott reframed the discussion several times, reminding listeners that “you’re hearing highlights, not real life,” before deliberately breaking the run with music and a reset, saying they’d “come back to this — but not all at once.” Voice notes, relief and shared laughs As voice notes came in, the tone varied. Some were reflective, others lighter, with Scott reacting in the moment rather than letting each one sit heavily. When one mum admitted she didn’t enjoy every moment, Scott replied simply, “you’re allowed to feel like that,” before immediately moving on to the next message to stop it lingering. Ellie noted quietly that a lot of messages ended with apologies — “sorry if this sounds awful” — which Scott picked up on, saying, “you all keep apologising — you don’t need to.” He then undercut the intensity by joking that “this has turned into group therapy before 7am,” before laughing and playing a record. Listeners responded to each other as much as the show, which Scott acknowledged on air, saying it felt like “people talking to people rather than just talking to us,” while still steering the programme forward. Pause for Thought and breathing space Pause for Thought slotted neatly into the running order, continuing the theme without deepening it. The speaker focused on compassion, comparison and letting go of unrealistic expectations. Scott thanked them afterwards, saying it “fits with what people have been saying this morning,” and deliberately left a short pause before moving on. Ellie observed that the slot felt like “a natural breather” in the show, which Scott agreed with, before resetting the mood with music and lighter links. The handover Scott handed over to Vernon Kay by briefly outlining what the morning had been about. Vernon picked up on the listener response, saying it sounded like “one of those shows where people really got involved.” Scott agreed, replying that “they really did today,” and mentioned the volume of messages still waiting.
