Hopefully Matt and Mollie take producer Amy with them to weekdays - she has helped to make their weekend show even better in the past couple of years and was obviously Scott’s producer before he left too

I think they most likely be taking their weekend show and just taking it to weekdays

This is probably the best thing to come out of all of these changes announced. I assumed their time for promotion to weekday daytimes had come and gone so it's a pleasant surprise that they're finally been given the chance.  Of course they are a great pairing, but this is especially great for Matt, who has been on weekends for 11 years (and in his 14th year in total at R1). The only downside is having to pick between them and Scott over on 2 🤷‍♂️

It's a shame Dean & Vicky never worked out as a pairing. Whoever replaced Scott & Chris had the tough task of following on from them, but they appeared to be thrown together and that doesn't always end well. Yes, however it's spun.. they've both been demoted but it's probably for the best Dean gets his own show again and Vicky does seem to work better with Nat. I think we'll at least see Dean back on a higher profile daytime slot again eventually on his own.

Picking between them and Scott is my issue too with the new schedule changes!

So, the first Matt and Mollie weekday show today and what a triumph it seemed to be. You could tell that there were nerves there, didn’t seem to be as natural immediately as they were by the end of weekends but obviously the show will settle in pretty quickly.

Glad to see another very content heavy show though - today we had someone who is going to review the week, a new ‘Best Thing Ever’ feature which was fine but nothing groundbreaking, the ‘5 to 2’ quiz which was a very clever way of getting a quick quiz in everyday, a texty feature, ‘Don’t Match Matt’ a new game that it sounds like they’ll be playing a couple of days a week and then ‘Battle Tracks’ which I’m very glad has stayed. 
 

Very pleased that Matt vs Mollie is staying too (along with I assume Mol’s Teaser) and then the new features they’ve bought in seem good too. Hopefully they have the budget to be able to have guests every so often as well! Overall, it seemed a very promising start.

It was a really good first show from them. Whilst in the end we did listen to d&v at work, I'm much happier that its matt and mollie now and its good to see a bit of natural balance happening and presenters being where they should be on r1. The choice of first song which they must have picked was also funny

    • Hey everyone, This is a bit of a long shot but I'm trying to track down four old episodes of the Rhod Gilbert Radio show that were co-hosted by Greg Davies. Two of these episodes are noteable for being recorded in Bangkok and Hong Kong while they were on tour. The episodes aired on BBC Radio Wales on 13/09/2008, 20/09/2008, 25/07/2009, and 08/01/2011. Below are links to each episode page on the BBC website: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00dgjx4 https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00dlp04 https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00lvsts https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00x2x3v I've tried archive.org, myanonymouse, a UK media sharing Discord server, Myspleen, and various subreddits and forums with no success.  Any chance someone here ripped these back in the day? Thanks!
    • I am gutted about the podcast. It's how I have always listened to Scott so I hope one comes along soon. 
    • I think this is a great move & she’ll suit the style of show Scott is doing. Something I was a little concerned about with the suggestion Mark Goodier could provide cover.  I do wonder if Sara feels a bit put out by missing out on breakfast permanently? Maybe this is a sweetener by getting her back on cover duties. 
    • I watched this live in the cinema and there were definitely at least 2 mentions of Radio 1, including one which felt a little bit salty about the way he ended up leaving (I think in an answer to a question about a job). Hard to remember the details as it was last April - but I guess he could’ve asked for it to be removed as time has passed and this is a permanent edition! Agree about the Guinness joke, didn’t find it shocking at all 😂 but maybe I’m not easily offended
    • Richie Anderson is in for Rylan today.
    • I finally got around to watching the live tour recording online. Very funny watch. For those that were wondering, there was barely a mention of R1, so if anything was said it was either on other nights or edited out of this one. It’s two hours long, so not sure how that compares to the actual live show or how much could/would have been edited. Would definitely recommend it for fans of the podcast though. The guinness joke is included - and I personally don’t think it’s as shocking as they’ve been teasing. But that’s probably the point.
    • Here's an interesting one... Sara Cox is in for Scott covering breakfast on Monday 10th March. She was previously the main stand in for Chris Evans on the breakfast show prior to her taking over drivetime. In turn, OJ Borg is in for Sara on drive.. and Phil Williams is on overnight for OJ.
    • Sam & Danni are in for Vick, Katie & Jamie on Wednesday 5th March & Thursday 13th March.
    • 21st Feb 6pm-7pm: Danny Howard 7pm-9pm: Radio 1 Dance Awards 9pm-10pm: Sarah Story.
    • Calum Leslie is in for Lauren on Sunday 16th February. Jaguar is in for Sian on Sunday 9th March. CassKidd is in for Benji on Wednesday 12th March.
    • Gary Davies in for Vernon tomorrow (Tuesday 11th February)
    • I’m not getting to listen as much now as my office has the “local” Bauer station on and no one will change it. I’m listening to Scott on R2 from 6.30-7am and then I’ll switch to Greg.  I’m still enjoying listening to Greg, although Scott being on R2 breakfast is proving to be a listening quandary. I don’t mind RMC, I do enjoy Charlie on Dance Anthems too. Matt and Millie/Jerry are really good Going Home… I think they need to get some direction with this. I’m usually listening on the way home and I’m just feeling it’s not working. It feels all over the place in my mind as one is usually off. With Katie going on maternity leave imminently, it will be interesting to see what happens next. Vick and Katie have always worked well together so I think they should maybe focus on those two, even if they are working one out of London and one out of Manchester.    Weekends - Nat and Vicky - I turn off on a Friday and actually put on Vernon. I do tune in for the Noughties show but I’m beginning to find it a bit tired. When it first started, they had the whole two hours and would sometimes pull a few gems out that had been forgotten, it really did feel like a treat to listen to. Now it just seems that they play the safest options that are usually showing up on anthems every other day or week. I think it would be good if they maybe did a deep dive and chose a year and maybe looked back at a Radio 1 playlist from that week of that year. There’s so much good music from the Noughties but it does feel like they overlook what was popular at the time and just play songs that have just remained popular. I get they are appealing to younger audiences and my age group is probably due to move to R2 but… it would be good to hear some forgotten gems of that time 
    • Having spent quite a bit of time driving last week, listening to Greg is always good.  The 10 minute takeover provides a good pick me up and his show on Monday was quite good.     RMC im neither here nor there for me  Charlie on Dance Anthems on her own is better. Matt/Mollie/Jerry is always a good listen Going home last week when it was just Vick & Katie for the 3/4 shows (I think) was a good listen.   The Wednesday show with Jamie was ok to listen to, I just don't think he added much.   Can't comment on weekends as I only listen to Dance Anthems on catch up 😂
