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.

      Nat hosted the podcast for the fashion brand PrettyLittleThing so yes although not sure that’s an area with lots of opportunities to go back into now?

      Yep it surely has to be OJ but like many here I wonder why the delay so long? But these are unique circumstances.

      It 100% wont be Greg James, there’s no one else except OJ. Wild card Ellie Taylor?? Imagine if Richie Anderson gets it, that will be bonkers

      He’s had more cover in August than he’s had over his entire duration at the station 😂

      James Cusack posted that he is doing 22 shows on R1 in Augusts so that means he will do 10 Weekend Breakfast Shows, 8 Going Home Shows, Covering Sam & Danni 1 time, Covering Dean 1 time, so that leaves 2 more shows in August so I would guess he will doing Going Home on Monday 31st August & Covering Jack on the Chart on Friday 28th August as Jack will probably be at R&L Festival

      Not sure I can see a schedule with Trevor on afternoons and Spoony on drive, and even if so then it'd be easy enough to give Spoony drive now and have someone else cover Trevor. I very much doubt that about Greg, can's see him wanting to leave R1 anytime soon, nor would R1 bosses want him to leave. At minimum he'll want to break Moyles' record but even then can see him on the station a good while longer.

      I think it’s more likely Spoony was meant for drive? Or and here’s my out there possibility. They want Greg James but he’s not ready to switch yet so a bit more work for Oo Gary davies and goodier

      I'm afraid the Sky EPG has become the victim of the BBC's policy of not to update most of the schedules for this week, especially on the Breakfast and Going Home listings! 😆

      But if it was OJ then surely the announcement would have come by now? Even if there was a delay due to working a plan to relocate production to Salford, that wouldn't take this long. My own guess, based on nothing more than a hunch, is that Trevor was the plan and that's been put on hold for obvious reasons. OJ could then maybe get afternoons...

      Melvin’s got a radio 2 gig for the forseeable plus am sure I heard he said he was doing something with Ricky too. Ricky did some talksport cover  Nat agree is the big surprise! I’m not sure what she’s doing next as thought she’d have a good shelf life on Radio 1 and thought her and Vicky or Sian Eleri would be the next live lounge hosts.    Dean’s moving to London so that might be a clue but his choice and has something lined up. He did get promoted far too early but almost anyone replacing Scott would have been a downgrade hence was better for Matt and Moll to replace Dean when they knew they could improve a show.    James - nice guy but bit bland and I think his tight link commercial radio style has hindered him in terms of radio 1 and they probably needed Emil in permanently to build him up for daytime cover or future slots in 2/3 years.  Week starting 31st August is their last week and imagine new schedules start the following Monday

      I think OJ - unless they’ve someone else in mind. OJ, I’d maybe move over to R2 Drive over R1 for.

      Super late to this and had a reply written but didn’t post as got tied up with World Cup and wasn’t feeling too well. I’m surprised and not surprised by some of these changes  Ricky and Melvin felt like they were coming to an end but I feel sad RMC is coming to end. I do wonder what they’ll do next  Nat O Leary was a surprise - I thought she would have been one they’d have held on to. But am I right in thinking she had a job in fashion when she first started at Radio 1? James Cusack - also a surprise - it took so long for him to get a slot.  Dean - feel a bit sorry for him. Feel like he was promoted far too early and didnt get to bed himself in. The afternoon slot was a disaster and I was listening to Scott by then anyway. He’s really came across well on Early Breakfast but I guess there’s no opportunity for him on daytime. The I’m a Celeb appearance didn’t go well either but at least they finally changed the trial voting rules. Do hope he does well wherever he goes next  Swarzy - I can’t comment on   When are all the last shows - the last week of August? I’ll try and tune in if I can.     Really happy for Emil who I think should have had a slot a long time ago. Big potential for drive or breakfast in the future. Mylo and Rosie - I’m happy for too. I’m happy that they’ve managed to find a new permanent slot after being taken off Hits after so long. I’m not sure they are long term R1 but a massive coup for them all the same

      Ha no, I did in the context that it appears Mollie is back! Mollie is down to do Future Pop on the 2nd September as well.
