I can’t see it been so late

When sonny left it was almost instant

i think we can expect an announcement Monday morning with Jordan been brought into the studio and perhaps romans last week

Reading between the lines on global marketing of the show from capital breakfast with Roman Kemp to “with Roman , Chris and Sian “ was a subtle hint to less focus on all been about Roman

 

when a bbc show changes it gets a whole new feel, capital seem to like a gradual approach to keep listeners already established 

global seems a more long term plan for presenters now, nothing to say he couldn’t go to radio x in a few years to succeed moyles after the capital breakfast gig

 

Ironic that commercial radio was just a few years ago awash with celebs without a radio career crowbarred into one, now it seems a little of the opposite

Yeah I feel like by September drive could be a different lineup entirely to now.   

I massively agree with this. Vick isn't going to want to stay that long surely. Travels with Calvin, brand deals, tv shows (of which seem to be more and more) It was probably much too soon for her to simply leave when Jordan did and in reality it probably happened far too quickly to make a decision about her career.

I also wonder with the amount of time off she has and Jamie didn't seem to be always there even in the few weeks of mat cover, Katie could end up with a lot of cover work from it.

Let's also say Jamie is interim, it plugs a gap and management have the rest of the spring and summer to come up with a decent line up that will carry the station forward

Nothing about Jamie’s instagram post suggests it’s temporary 

Well no, but he is probably only on a 6 month contract to meet up with Vick Hope’s renewal being in September. She wouldn’t be able to leave before hand without repercussions for herself  

Maybe they’ll click and the show will get extended by another 12 months, but I really can’t see either being there in September 2025.

The More I think about it

the more I think it’s possible Roman could return to radio for a less demanding role than breakfast which could work alongside his one show commitments and other work

it seems him and vick have busy schedules, be a great move by bbc to get him on board Radio1’s maybe presenting a Friday afternoon show with vick - what a switch that would be

I was thinking last night this is one hell of a gamble for Jordan what if breakfast doesn’t work out for him on capital he gave up the chance of breakfast on radio 1 

I think the key phrase is "chance of breakfast on Radio 1" - he had no guarantee of it and as said various times on here - time was starting to run against him.  Plus add in some of the high profile surprising decisions - Dean & Vicky, Jamie Laing - he could easily have been passed over.

And actually - it's totally not impossible that he goes to Capital Breakfast and comes back to Radio 1 to take over from Greg.  Highly unlikely but if the BBC really really wanted him for that gig, nothing to stop it happening.

    • 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.

    • Hello I’m new posting here but regularly come on to listen to the archives.    Anyone else still missing the Scott & Chris era? I loved them with Becky too, but there was just something magic about the two of them together—the sarcasm, the ridiculous games (especially The Who Game) and just how effortlessly funny they were.   I know they’re both happy doing their own thing now, but I can’t help feeling like there’s a massive gap in the podcast market for them two. Someone actually asked Chris on his Insta live the other day if he and Scott could work together again, and he said he’d love to and that it’s something they do want to do—which got me thinking… how would that even work with them both being on competing radio stations?   Not gonna lie, I might just be stuck in the mud, but I’d absolutely love a regular Scott & Chris podcast again. Maybe it’s wishful thinking, but I feel like it has to happen at some point! Would you listen if they brought it back?
    • Rene LaVice is in for Charlie Tee on Saturday 5th April.
