What Scott Mills moment lives with you?

I’m trying to work out which bits of Scott’s show have permanently lodged themselves in my brain. For me, the name Mandy will never, ever be normal again thanks to Randy Mandy from Flirt Divert. And whenever I hear any of Madonna’s more recent stuff, my head instantly adds the daft extra brass Scott used to stick over the top.

What about you? If you’ve been listening over the last three decades, which moments still pop into your head? The chaotic ones, the running jokes, the unhinged callers, the stuff that still makes you laugh out loud?

For me it's got to be the Girls Aloud prank. Such a genius idea and excecuted so well. I'll always remember the weird calls they got from people thinking they were speaking to actual Girls Aloud members. The Livestock Lounge also comes to mind for being absolutely insane and memorable. Randy Mandy is also a personal favourite moment too. My favourite ‘era’ has to be the Chappers and Laura/Beccy drivetime era so anything from there will just live with me forever.

Such a great thread!

For me, the Innuendo Bingo clips and the stuff they used to play during the Bamboleo gap, are burned into my brain. If someone mentions a right hand, my brain says ‘is very well exercised’. If someone says ‘but’, my brain says ‘he’s gay’. 


Such a silly one that’s stuck with me is a remix they did of a clip-up of Charlie Sloth saying ‘Birmingham’ and now I pronounce it the same way and have to sing the song, ‘Birmin-um, do do do do do’.

Thanks to the Trapped in the Closet feature, the word ‘spatula’ must always be sung rather than said.

And every time I hear Kesha, I wonder who boffed her.

I always say "forty of those" when someone mentions the number. The Ting Tings That's Not My Name feels incomplete without Yo Gabba Gabba. And Mills and Boon always reminds me of Mills and Spoon!

Haha ‘forty of those’ is definitely one that’s stuck with me too.

‘Who loves Cher’ is a recent one that I can’t get out of my brain.

And the Barryoke songs, especially when they brought it back, God is a Woman will always be God is a Barry to me now.

Superfan Steve is a more recent one that’s really stuck with me - especially both Cheryl’s and Anne-Marie’s!

Also enjoyed the Don’t Look It Up quiz that started in lockdown with Producer Will and then Producer Amy (now of the breakfast show)

Read Barry is back in Eastenders, didn't he decide to make a commercial venture out of Barryoke ?

Also can't hear 212 without thinking of Beccy raps. Fortunately it doesn't come up on the radio much!

Ahh I was so sorry to see Producer Will leave, the show used to get into some hysterical chaos under his watch - notably for me, the day that the whole ‘Margaret Covid’ thing was happening in the news, she show had me in tears of laughter. Everybody got a shout out of their name + Covid as a surname during Bamboleo and Scott & Chris were losing it, brilliant fun day of radio.

The Don’t Look it Up Quiz was a really fun feature too, lots of silly rounds that would make for laugh out loud radio.

So many long-running jokes or segments from it. 

Any of the below clips instantly make me think of Scott and the show

  • "BUT HE'S GAY ... I mean excuse me he's blind"
  • That Robert Dyas Christmas advert
  • What Day is Father's Day

I do wish some of the DLIU rounds became actual features post-Scott - 'Live Lounges Time Forget' and 'Real Person or Fake Person' (the one about brands like Ralph Lauren, Aunt Bessie) were two favorites of mine.

Ahh you're right, they could be stand alone features. I'm sure some of them could fit in to his current show.  I used to love a round of Rapper or Accountant, and Race Horse or Racey Novel.

How could I possibly forget What Day is Father's Day!  "You're 90% there" is something that I say often, in a terrible Australian accent.

The don't look it up quiz was brilliant! The different rounds kept it fresh every day too.

I'll never forgot 24 years at the tap end, some of the moments that came from that will be forever ingrained in my brain.

"LMF" from Laura's Diary. I can half guess but I never found out what that actually stood for.

Lloyd on the show, the 10 year old football expert for the 2006 World Cup.

"Brokeback Westwood" trailer. I couldn't contain my laughter on the bus. Before I drove. Shows how long ago that was.

on the grid.

My memory is a more personal one tbh. I remeber being on my lunch break at College alone browsing the records and DVDs in HMV and i over heard 2 lads discussing the show and i wanted to talk to them but could not bring myself to do it. Such a shame really but always sticks with me. Would have been around 2006 era

I miss the Christmas traditions. The other one they played by Magnus Carlson, 'Wrap Myself In Paper' still gets a play on Radio 1.. at least up until last year despite the fact Scott left in 2022.

I still celebrate Magnus Carlson day every year!

I'm loving reading through all of these, so many memorable moments.

It's hard to put into words just how ingrained in my subconscious some of the things from the show are. Some songs will never be the same again - Scott's vocal coaching sessions with the likes of Rag n Bone Man with Giant, and Jason Derulo with Talk Dirty, my brain always puts Scott's coaching into those when they play the normal versions.

And how to sing with vocal coach Felicia - Chandelier and Fairy Tale of New York will always sound like Chris' version of the songs.

      I'd very much like it to be him too. Would be the most logical option, As far as guest/celebrity stand ins go, I like mind Ellie Taylor... she's definitely one of the better stand ins. I can't see them getting her to cover the slot in the interim period if she is to become the full time presenter in September though. She's doing the following 3 weeks of Saturday lunchtimes. I wonder if she's Emma's replacement during Strictly season?

      I'm liking what I've heard so far. She was brilliant on tea time and whenever she covered Scott too. Glad she's brought some her jingles/songs with her, but shortened/updated them for brekky.  PS was she as silly and bonkers when she was on R1 as she is on R2? I don't really remember much of her old shows on R1, although I do remember listening to her covering for Fearne.

      There's also Feedback on R4, the radio version of Points of View: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006slnx I like the blurb for this random episode I've just clicked on from 2012, "Does Radio 1 have too many celebrity presenters? Are they too old?" 😂 https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01jxw4s

      I have no clue why you thought a complaint and FOI request would go anywhere?! And I maintain what I've written elsewhere, that the 'Jamie problem' is one that exists mainly on forums and isn't felt by the wider listener group!

      A couple of months on and still no announcement on who is taking over teatime. We know they're rotating 'interim' hosts throughout the summer, so presumably any permanent host will be taking over at the start of September at the earliest. I'm starting to wonder if it's not OJ Borg after all. There could've been delay in the logistics of him agreeing to a London based show, or production moving up to Salford, but surely they would have announced him by now? That said, I'm surprised he's been nowhere near teatime since Sara finished. Radio 2 rarely go for outsiders when it comes to their main weekday slots, they usually promote from within so will be interesting to see who they go with? I'd be surprised if they parachute in someone that hasn't broadcast on Radio 2 before.

      Freedom of Information request – OOS2026/01183 Thank you for your email of 22nd June. The BBC is replying under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (“FOI Act”). You asked: I am asking with regards to Jamie Laings contract to present the Going Home Show on BBC Radio 1. Going Home is titled as Going Home with Vick Hope. Katie Thistleton and Jamie Laing and is meant to be on Monday-Thursday 3.30pm-5.45pm on BBC Radio 1 1. Please can you confirm does Jamie have a contract to be a presenter Monday- Thursday or is he paid a fee per show. 2. Has he had his contract adjusted in the number of shows he is expected to present and/or value of his contract in the last year? 3. Do the presenters who fill in for Jamie/Vick Hope get paid the same rate as them or is that rate different? We have carefully considered your request and concluded that it is clear from your description of the information you are seeking that if the BBC held information of the kind you have asked for, it would all be held for the purposes of journalism, art or literature. The FOI Act does not apply to information held by the BBC for any of those purposes. This is explained in an information sheet enclosed with this letter. To be clear, in this case we have not searched for any information since any that we found would be non-disclosable, and the searches would not serve any useful purpose

      Regardless of their routine, it's incredible how they all ended up parents in a short space of time of becoming a trio. Quite the baby boom at Radio 1!
