If the announcements are anything like one of the Times' headlines today we're in for a treat. Their headline - Shocking news: Britain’s a wet country

Oops I've killed you all. I hope there's some people out there with some free offers for Scott Mills listeners. How about a free DVD at all woolworths stores.

Well I hope Sara Cox is going to show a bit more interest at 4pm when she's on-air for Scott. Otherwise he'll be doing two shows!

Hello, is Scott on air? Is this thing going out live?

Let's pretend that last half hour didn't happen.

Good thing he didn't get through to Dave Pearce, I imagine. Salty language would have ensued.

My big announcement is that Chappers needs a good seeing to to stop him being such a miserable git.

Also, this show is doing terrible things to everyone's personal grooming :D You perspiring in your bed, Scott shivering covered in rank tank water and me looking like I dressed in the dark due to lack of wardrobe choices time :D

Hi Charli!

UM is a nice place

Oh my god, you're wearing my nickers!

Woop woop, my Editors and Twang tickets are here. Just the tickets to Athlete to come now, and that's my autumn out and about sorted.

I meet the bloke from the UEA tomorrow, should be good, I just need to work out what I want to say about the radio station.

Blimey, this is an old song off of Jamelia Bab.

Haha, well if you've got an announcement come spam the Unofficial Mills forum with it all.

I think the six weeks of summer is actually cursed. There's not going to be a summer, so someone is trying to tell us not to attempt it.

What's singstars? No don't leave me alone in this world! I'll never know the answer now.

I don't want a ruddy Heroes day. I imagine that'll be on Monday or something.

Have we tracked down that mole yet that is leaking information out of Radio 1 and breaking the equipment in the building?

That's so random and surreal. I'm going to bed in an hour and am going to wonder if this was all some random dream or nightmare.

From Laura sleeping with Joel, to George's cat being sick, to some kids singing Europe, to the random announcements, to Homer Simpson.

That's never a good thing being shot by Dave Pearce. Freud always says those sort of dreams are dirty...

I was bombarded by Scouting For Girls fans yesterday on myspace. Not sure why, they all seemed to want to add me. This is growing on me. But still, until they come to Norwich I won't be a fan.

But if this song is about Laura they might not release it, not now Laura's had a dream about Joel.

See I quite like this James Blunt track, well I don't dislike it. There's worse stuff on the playlist. It does feel like 2005 again what with the White Stripes, Kaiser Chiefs, and James Blunt.

Do you remember on Your Call there was a bloke who quite fancied Jo Whiley who sung a version of 'Your Beautiful' to Jo?

Haha, how fast does Jo Whiley get down those stairs from the office?

'Somethings come naturally'. Innuendo there?!

Ha! can i request that jingle for a download?

See Monday's show clips thread.

I hope they can sort out a collaboration between Paul Potts and The Enemy. Their way of kissing and making up. Would be quite good to see Paul on The Enemy's tour this autumn.

Random, Elton and 2Pac. It really is like July 2005 at the moment with all this old stuff and old artists.

Good lord this Athlete song isn't available as a single until the 27th August. That's practically my birthday. I don't want to be waiting that long, nor do I want to wish that date upon me!

It's Wednesday tomorrow. That's when these mornings start to pain me. Think it'll have to be an early night tonight, but it's Cape Wrath on Channel 4 and E4.

Bless Jo, she's getting old, but she still appreciates the humour of the Mills...

Haha, I like the e-mail situation. Isn't it sweet that Jo talks to her mum about Scott? Almost sweet as Jo's gran that time Scott rang her.

Singstars is a game for PS2, there are several editions and you score for singing the song Karaoke as similarly as possible to the original track.

Jo isn't old - she's one of the most youthful lively and modern people around. Chronological age isn't as important as attitude surely, look at Annie Nightingale. And I think she's doing a lot of voiceover work, I heard her on an ad for a new album on The Box last night.

It's rubbish when release dates are so far in the future (aprpos what you said about the Athlete one) just leads to loss of sales when people get fed up and start file sharing the promo copies

    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
    • Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?
    • I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.
    • Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.
    • I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.
    • With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot. 
    • Conor Knight is in for Sam & Danni on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. It's Radio 1 at Parklife, 13.00-16.00 on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. Matt & Mollie are in for Greg from Monday 10th to Friday 14th June - it's just Matt on the Thursday. It's Radio 1 at Download, 13.00-16.00 on Friday 14th June.
    • Rajar looking healthy this quarter, with the numbers staying fairly stable.
