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.

      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!

      20th July Alyx Holcombe in for Jack Saunders 21st July No presenters listed for the New Music Show or Future Artists and both shows list separate programmes for each hour, I wonder if there is a link between that and the event on Tuesday?

      I haven’t seen that much regarding Vick Hopes complaints and I genuinely think most of the time she has been being a mum and flexible working makes sense.   She sort of explained it fairly well and knew where we were at. Jamie imo doesn’t get the same leeway, wouldn’t have begrudged a bit of paternity leave and holiday but extensive time off for other business interests is taking the p

      I was talking specially about summer ones. The Halloween ones are always mystery and never hunts (because they’re supposed to be small and quick presumably).

      Weekend Breakfast can become a bit of a content wasteland though. Look at the difference in show that Matt & Mollie did there compared to weekend afternoons. I totally agree with your point though, both shows are interchangeable but I think it’s a good call to have Mylo & Rosie on for 5 mornings a week. I haven’t seen it confirmed anywhere, but are we assuming they’ll still be Salford too? Could Emil being based in London mean that show is moved back there because weekends already have other Salford based shows?

      Early and weekend breakfast I see as pretty similar. I expect Emil to do be doing quite a bit of weekday cover especially on going home so probably makes sense he does weekend breakfast.

      That's a good point about Giant Detention but I wouldn't say there's been an equal mix. We've had Giant Jigsaw, Giant DJ Hunt and Giant Face Off which were all hunt ones and before Giant Detention I think the last mystery one would've been Summer Breakout before Vick and Jordan started drive time.

      Now I think about it, I’m surprised Mylo & Rosie and Emil Franchi weren’t the other way around. Wouldn’t it make more sense for a duo with years of breakfast experience to do weekend breakfast rather than be wasted on early breakfast? Not that Emil isn’t also more than capable but out of him and M+R pairing it would make more sense if he was on earlies?

      I didn't get a chance to reply. There aren't really many shocks though maybe; - James Cusack is a surprise exit but maybe he has something else lined up. A daily high profile show on a big network is likely to be better financially than being stuck on weekend breakfast at Radio 1 with no clear progression. - Going Home is clearly going to limp on as it is. - It feels strange Vicky Hawksworth is staying as no shows seem to have worked for her yet.  The new set-up for her doesn't feel like it will last forever. Nothing else is much of a surprise, presenters leaving that have reached the natural end of their Radio 1 life, full-time shows for tried and trusted cover and a big promotion for Jeremiah who has hardly been off daytime radio over the past year to 18 months.

      Of course, me with short memory, that's likely! 😆
