Radio One DJ Grooverider was arrested in Dubai after cannabis and hardcore porn DVDs were allegedly found in his record bag.

He was searched as he arrived at the Gulf state's international airport for a club gig.

The dance DJ - real name Raymond Bingham - was detained and is expected to appear in court this week.

The 40-year-old star, who appears to be smoking a marijuana joint on his MySpace profile, faces jail or deportation if he is found guilty.

A BBC spokesman said: "It's a legal matter so we cannot comment."

What an disgrace, if he is found guilty he deserves getting the sack from Radio 1, there are plenty other people I'm sure who havent had any bother with the authorities who would die for the chance to have a show on National Radio.

He does the....

Oooooooooh!

*COKE ADVERT ON TV!*

Erm... oh yeah, he does the drum and base show on a saturday night at 2am, i thing anyway. He presents every other week with Fabio.

What is it with all these "street" names. I'd love for a presenter on 1 xtra to be called George... I'm listening to someone who calls themselves "Wec" at the moment on Kiss 100... wtf?!one!!!!111

>> I'm on here every now and again... <<

they will get rid of him and replace his drum & bass show with re runs of coldplay live whinge performances. becuase thats what every young person wants isn't it radio 1?

i rarley listen to him, sometimes if i am coming back from dj'ing somewhere i catch fabio & grooveriders show (if they still do it together). it sounds professional for a drum & bass show unlike the pirate stations that play that. if they do want to get another drum & bass dj in though, they should look no further than andy c.

on the grid.

They rarely do a show together now it alternates between fabio one week and grooverider the next. His arrest was a bit of a joke I mean considering some of the human rights violations pursued by saudi arabia then arresting some one because he had a bit of weed and some porn on him is a but rich.

In better news i think I've thought of a way to get rid of doherty send to do a gig in dubai

Its usually a good show as is the one on 1extra

Is he really 40...? Considering this is supposed to be a radio station that's trying to target the teenage market they have a lot of middle-aged presenters. But anyway, it is disgraceful and I certainly hope that he is sacked if he's found guilty, as a DJ on national radio he really should be setting a better example.

So save the last dance

Apparently the UAE imposes four years in prison for possession of drugs, whilst trafficking carries the death penalty.

Pornographic material is also banned in the UAE, where nude images in foreign periodicals and books are usually scratched with black ink or torn out.

Fail to see what the big deal is. The only stupid thing is taking stuff like that to a country that sways towards ancient bigoted religious laws.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By GregJames_fan · Posted

      I wouldn't be surprised if they do this around June time: 05.00 Ore Olukoga 07.00 Greg James 10.30 RMC 14.00 VKJ  That'll probably happen (for my guess) from the 17th June. And for weekends: 07:00 Sam & Danni 11:00 Gregor Davidson 15:00 Charlie Hedges Maybe Fridays aswell: 07:00 Greg James 11:00 Gregor Davidson 14:30 Jack Saunders

      The Summer on Radio 1 thing makes me wonder whether they might be doing something similar to last year again where they have a temporary schedule over the summer before introducing changes in September - maybe the new host won’t start until after the summer?

      Radio 1's Big Weekend 2024

      By Jono · Posted

      There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first.

      It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?

      Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also

      For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.

      By Rob86 · Posted

      I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg.

      The eighth floor

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!

      How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it?

      I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!

      A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.
