So do we think Scott’s last afternoon show is two weeks tomorrow? And what do we want on Scott’s new breakfast show? Wonder years I assume to end the week.

Chappers on for a feature once a week!

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!

This has been coming for a long time with Scott on breakfast. Although I will miss him on afternoons, I won't hear much of him that time of the morning sadly.

on the grid.

I wonder if Tina will still be on the news with Scott or someone new

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.

I think I’d like to see a new team built around Scott. Richie has had 6 years on Breakfast with Zoe, so it’s not really unreasonable… I hope we get a few more fun features. The lack of “games” like you get on Radio 1 is something I miss with Scott

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.

    • Scott opened Thursday by immediately clocking the pace of the inbox, saying it was “one of those mornings where you can tell people have woken up ready to talk.” Ellie Brennan and Tina Daheley were both in studio, with Scott checking in on them and joking that “we haven’t even warmed up yet and you’re all already in full voice.” The early links were light, with Scott narrating what was coming up and reminding listeners they were heading into “a proper Thursday show.” There were quick resets, music breathing space and familiar back-announcing, with Scott repeatedly acknowledging how fast messages were landing and half-laughing that “this is already a lot before seven.” Ellie noted that voice notes were stacking up unusually early, while Tina commented that people seemed keen to respond to each other as much as the programme. Motherhood chat, but not a phone-in The main theme emerged around motherhood and social media expectations, introduced by Scott reading a listener message about feeling like she was “constantly failing compared to what I see online.” Scott paused on it, saying “this comes up a lot, doesn’t it,” but was careful to keep the show moving rather than letting it settle into a single-issue phone-in. Ellie talked about how curated feeds distort reality, while Tina pointed out that “nobody posts the day where everything went wrong.” Scott reframed the discussion several times, reminding listeners that “you’re hearing highlights, not real life,” before deliberately breaking the run with music and a reset, saying they’d “come back to this — but not all at once.” Voice notes, relief and shared laughs As voice notes came in, the tone varied. Some were reflective, others lighter, with Scott reacting in the moment rather than letting each one sit heavily. When one mum admitted she didn’t enjoy every moment, Scott replied simply, “you’re allowed to feel like that,” before immediately moving on to the next message to stop it lingering. Ellie noted quietly that a lot of messages ended with apologies — “sorry if this sounds awful” — which Scott picked up on, saying, “you all keep apologising — you don’t need to.” He then undercut the intensity by joking that “this has turned into group therapy before 7am,” before laughing and playing a record. Listeners responded to each other as much as the show, which Scott acknowledged on air, saying it felt like “people talking to people rather than just talking to us,” while still steering the programme forward. Pause for Thought and breathing space Pause for Thought slotted neatly into the running order, continuing the theme without deepening it. The speaker focused on compassion, comparison and letting go of unrealistic expectations. Scott thanked them afterwards, saying it “fits with what people have been saying this morning,” and deliberately left a short pause before moving on. Ellie observed that the slot felt like “a natural breather” in the show, which Scott agreed with, before resetting the mood with music and lighter links. The handover Scott handed over to Vernon Kay by briefly outlining what the morning had been about. Vernon picked up on the listener response, saying it sounded like “one of those shows where people really got involved.” Scott agreed, replying that “they really did today,” and mentioned the volume of messages still waiting.
