Caught the end of his show, amongst my favourites was when he played Dario G.

Sara Cox playing Firestarter by The Prodigy was a good way to start, but to me, she's went downhill a bit from there. maybe it'll brighten up when Dave Pearce comes on to do the shuffle.

even the legend that is Dave Pearce got some of the songs wrong! Guess he was tired from constantly working over the past 5 nights as he said.... Bring on 5 hours of dance anthems. Take plenty of caffeine Dave and you'll be fine!!!

I've had radio 1 on for most of the day - brill dance tunes (or should that be dance tunes ahoy?)....

What's with Annie Mac today? She sounds like she belongs on 1Xtra today.

"Er that was the Foo Fighters, yeah, and you can like watch that on red button now, if you like. Yeah..."

She really sounds like she doesn't want to be there!

I've been quite impressed with the music played on today's "rock day" was so far, was nice to hear La Tristesse Durera by the Manics and of course the genius piece of music that is Pour Some Sugar On Me by Def Leppard. :D

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

I some how can't see Reggie's three hours being much of a musical treat. "Oh my god innit we're playing indie today and it is wiiiiiiiiiiiiicked. Alright this is The Strokes i think and i been playing his recordz since i was a kid. Yeah bruvvvv. Hit it!"

I seriously hope Scott isn't going to play that "it's here..." advert after every single song! Was Mark Goodier that expensive they have to use it every second to justify the money?

I thought I heard David's name being mentioned by Mr Hammond, but wasn't that sure. Agree that radio 2 do play some cr@p music, although have it on in morning - parents choice, not mine!

I didn't realise that David Garrido does the sport on Radio Two as well as Radio One. That's one lucky man, right there.

ETA: Radio Two play some rubbish music. Stevie Wonder was alright, but most of it's utter tosh.

I have to thank Reggie for playing Status Quo at the top of his show. My parents were like "they're playing here on Saturday, we should go."

I was like, if I get rid of them, my sister is out, I will have a free house on my birthday. So searched ebay, and there was a decent price couple of tickets.

So free house on my birthday, ameezin' :D

He needs some echo. On second thoughts, my radio might be stuffed up as I've moved downstairs.

Well done to Laura for really putting the effort into that "rock". Reminded me of a school play with that cue :P

How are we all then?

I think Scott and Chappers have fallen out. It's the greatest split since Steps.

Loving the bass coming from this Muse live track!

Ah it's Hannah. Got over your daddy being on Radio 1 yet? I think your dad should be on air more often.

Have you taken up Vernon's offer of "seeing you later"? ;)

I'm under the impression the posh neighbours will be upset with the loud music, but it's a bank holiday, they need to live a little!

I'm sure that girl just said her name was Nihal.

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
