The Radio 2 Breakfast Show with Scott Mills

Blimey. Wasn't expecting to log on to read this. Great news for Scott. It's a shame OJ hasn't got the afternoon show, could've moved it to Salford at the same time. I feel he's been overlooked for this. Trevor's current show is the perfect format for him so a bit of an odd choice.

He's a good presenter, don't get me wrong. I just think he'll actually be wasted playing playlist music. It's brilliant that Scott's finally got the breakfast show after all these years of being a stand in on R1/2

Well this is the day this forum has been preparing for since it began - we just guessed the wrong station at first 😂

But yep so pleased for Scott - Zoe's summer absence unplanned as it was now feels like an on-air audition and Scott clearly impressed and was much more like his Radio 1 self.

Does leave us all with a major listening quandary though - which of Greg, Jordan or Scott are we all picking (or who knows maybe even Moyles on X)? For me has to be Scott. Though does now mean I can listen to both Scott and Matt & Mol which is a result.

Wonder if the Scott Mills Daily will officially return?

The best way to do an announcement anyway, get it all out there and avoid the speculation. Not sure if anyone expected Scott to go from afternoons to breakfast in two years - perhaps not even Scott!

I think Tina could possibly stay unless she wants to explore other opportunities in her own right

Richie probably needs to have other opportunities

She'd probably be first in line for whenever Jeremy calls time on the lunchtime slot, Although i personally think she will eventually end up as one of the main faces of the News at Six and Ten on BBC One (she's already an occasional presenter of both).

I can't see them removing Tina & Richie from breakfast. Richie is the morning travel presenter regardless as he goes onto present the travel bullitens in Vernon's show. I must admit though, Ellie Brennan worked well with Scott and Tina when she was on one of the weeks in for Richie.

Was Scott interviewed on bbc news yesterday?


Yes. He was asked about potentially being one of the highest paid people at the BBC, He said he hadn't even thought about and he doesn't do it for the money, but the love of the job.

    • I think Ellie has definitely proven to be been a great fit.  The story of her finding a flat and Roger the cat was a real ice breaker for the feel of the show as a whole I think.  Add to that Scott giving Ellie his ticket to the Brits and the stories that came from it, I really think she adds value. Not only is the rapport between her and Scott already brilliant, but she also comes across as a funny, down to earth presenter in her own right.  I think she's fab and will only continue to get better as the show progresses. I would initially have agreed with the thought that she could be a co-presenter, and I suppose her prominence in the show is such that she could be seen as that, seemlessly.  However, for me the show is a bit too guest-heavy for a co-presenter.  That's probably just the nature of having such a high-profile show, I think it might feel like too many voices to try to get a fairly short (and sincere) interview in with a huge star. Back in the days of R1 when they could play fun games with the guests then yes, but I get the impression that Scott needs to go for serious and genuine with most of the ones he has had so far. I mostly prefer the bits of radio without guests - that goes for all radio shows, not just Scott's.  The 6.30-8am where it's just Scott, Ellie, and Tina, are my favourite bits of the show for sure.  Which is a long winded way of me saying that Ellie was a great choice 😄 
    • @Opalmoon I couldn't agree with you more. Scott and Chris made genuine magic happen on the radio and I'm starting to think that nothing will ever equal that era.  I often listen back to the old podcasts, and I think you've hit the nail on the head when you say they were effortlessly funny together.  They could make the most simple of things laugh-out-loud funny, and it must have been because they were real friends who just used to make each other laugh, which in turn made brilliant radio.   They have both gone on to do such big things apart, probably more than if they had carried on together at Radio 1, and I'm really pleased for them both.  I don't think you're stuck in the mud (if you are then I am too) - a Scott and Chris podcast would be a dream come true. I'm not sure it could even be a thing while they are both working at different stations, but I hope they can make it work one day.  With Beccy producing, that would be the icing on the cake!   I would love for Scott to be a guest on Chris & Tom Kerridge's podcast, if nothing else.   Who knows, maybe one day Chris will find himself back at the BBC on 5Live and we'd have more chance of having them back working together then.
    • Lauren in for Danni on 28th and 29th March.
