Much apologies for the lack of review yesterday, you just can't get the staff these days. We'll try to get a quick review up to fill the gap for that soon...

<B>And they call it puppy love...</b>

Chappers was looking incredibly smart this morning, he's off to a press conference, but wasn't wearing a tie as it's quite a relaxed one. So no doubt he was looking like David Cameron when he doesn't like to wear a tie, because he's down with the kids. Scott went to Manchester yesterday to participate in a new television quiz - Identity - hosted by Donnie Osmond. He had an embarrassing moment where he thought Donnie had come over to high five him, but he actually walked straight past him. So Scott pretended to fiddle with his hair.

<b>Service with a smile</b>

The Florist Call was also back on again today. So far it seems no matter how crazy the theme for a message on the flowers, florists will put it on the card. Even burglary, as we found out today. Although she did question what it was all about, she was happy to do it. It even makes them sound a bit like Stephen Hawking - hi boys!

<b>My Name Is Scott - Karma's gonna get ya Jo Whiley</b>

My Name Is Scott was back again today too. It's Episode 4, and to celebrate this milestone, Scott had a unique theme tune for it all! Quite impressive I have to say, although it does sound quite similar to some other theme tune. Then again that doesn't stop these music big wigs like Mark Ronson succeeding in life. Anyway, today involved Jo Whiley getting her revenge for Scott making all those calls to the specialist show DJs. She'd taken Scott's sh*t mobile from the carpark near the BBC, to a field near her home, and acquired a few tools to do it in. From this feature we can gather Jo was only just pipped to the post when it came to auditions for Eastenders' Stella - what a secret psycho! She seemed quite used to using sledgehammers to knock Scott's car windows in, and knocking the car about. As Scott failed to answer many questions about cars, Jo Whiley went in with the kill... a tank! No ammunition involved, but she did flatten it by driving it over the top. She even did a very familliar looking pose in the tank with her arm. Take a look at the pictures and videos at bbc.co.uk/radio 1 and I'm pretty sure it'll be on a video podcast sometime soon!

She was shortly after back in the studio to talk about it, and to prove that she really did it. But clearly the excitement had gone to her, and what sounded like an 'F Word' was heard. Oh well, it's all good publicity for Scott's show. That's what karma does you see... Jo wrecks Scott's car, Scott's karma is gone, and it's Jo that does all the mistakes. The newspapers even went to the trouble of claiming it happened on Jo's show.

<b>The curse of Scott's phones</b>

And Ewan McGregor was on. Moyles had clearly lost interest, as he's buggered off on holiday for his final week. But the curse of the phones was back on today, when Ewan's satellite phone lost it's signal. He did keep returning to say the occasional few words, before it'd cut out again. So I've no idea what he was on about, but he's doing some very good things for charity. More on that next week, hopefully. Read the story <a href="http://www.unofficialmills.co.uk/communities/showthread.php?t=7309">here</a> where some motorbike magazine managed to pick up more than me.

<b>Also on today's show...</b>

Heroes was on last night... did you watch it? I didn't, but Scott claims he did, but he couldn't get into it. Quite surprising really considering he says in Heat magazine it's his favourite television show. A case of the Scott Mills imposter once more perhaps? Don't forget Radio 1 are off to Global Gathering this weekend. Coxy and Dave Pearce. It's a winning combination. And Scott was after your ideas for what they could get one of them to do as part of 'Life's A Bitch'. Many suggestions coming in - with the best three options have been put together in a poll now on Radio 1 online. Get voting for that right now!

For the first time in months we got to hear about Big Brother. As Heat magazine claims, Scott watches it, but it's a guilty pleasure. Laura saw it last night, and there was a big hissy fit when Chanelle was forced to play the violin in front of everyone. Laura backed her up, and said that if it makes her nervous she shouldn't have to do it. Laura says she's felt like that before. This being the girl that does most of the stunts on the street including dressing up as a man trying to get into a strip club.

Oh, and another sneak preview of Colin's Black Hole was on to save us from all this insanity. It's daily now, and unlike these show reviews, they mean daily! Today Scott played out an interesting mix of Murder She Wrote, and a rather cool mix of Liam Lynch with Star Wars. Even those that have never seen the movies, like me, found it amusing.

Another very random show, but cannot be faulted. Hearing Scott's show day in and day out, it's always amusing to hear the show when things don't go to plan, as they always turn out the funniest bits. Another daily show review tomorrow... and it's only bloody Friday!

    • Richie Anderson in for Rylan tomorrow.
    • Mylo and Rosie said at the end of their show today that they would also be on Early Breakfast on Thursday 24th July (even though the schedule still says Dean)
    • James is in for Dean from Monday 11th to Thursday 14th August. Dean is in for Greg from Monday 11th to Friday 15th August. Jaguar is in for Sarah on Friday 15th August.
    • Tara Kumar is in for Alyx on Sunday 13th July.
    • Conor Knight & Lauren Layfield are in for Matt & Mollie on Monday 14th July.  Matt is solo on Tuesday 15th July.  Jerry is in for Mollie between Wednesday 16th & Thursday 24th July.  Maia Beth is covering Future Pop on Wednesday 16th & Wednesday 23rd July. On Sunday 27th July the Chillest Show is reduced to an hour, and 20.00-21.00 is a BBC Proms special with JADE. On Thursday 31st July 18.00-20.00 in place of Jack's show it's the Dance Party Warm-Up with Danny Howard (ahead of the Ibiza weekend).
    • Dean McCullough in for Greg w/c 4th August. James Cusack on EB.
    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?
    • Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.
    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.
    • With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now
