Time for some positivity. What has been your highlight of Scott on R1 and R2? I thought the musical was brilliant. And his take on Radio 1 masterpieces playing Britney and Busted.

For me there is just too many… A few that spring to mind are

One night with Laura

Stupid Street

Christmas transfer deadline day.

Whilst this week has been horrible and upsetting, I am truly grateful that I had 28 years of Scott making me laugh and being the friend on the radio that I needed.

Oh my days where do I start? So many classics I am so grateful I got to hear so many greats from Flirt Divert, One Night with Laura, 24 years at the tap end, to the easiest quiz on 2 which really helped wake my brain up in the mornings. But a proper lol for me was when him and Chris did world cup alternative comms was so funny

Celebrity Calls, Brokeback Westwood, Camp Man, Laura's Diary, Innuendo Bingo, Flirt Divert. Way too many to mention.

on the grid.

Not so much a moment, but one of my all-time favourite memories of the R1 show was the Barryoke Barry Island special in 2008. I was planning on uploading it in July, but under the circumstances, I've decided to upload it now as an Easter weekend treat:

Such a great thread, there is so much to choose from!  

From the earlier years, Flirt Divert was must-listen radio.  Laura's Diary. One Night with Laura.  The pranks where they used to call two takeaway shops and make them both think they were ordering from each other.

Later on, I loved Beccy Raps, especially when she did Gangnam Style for her final show. Trapped in the Closet had me in stitches. Of course Innuendo Bingo, which was how I rediscovered the show after a long gap of it falling off my radar when I started working full time.

Bamboleo was a weekly highlight for me and Producer Will sent me my very own copy of the 'Margaret Covid' mix of Duck Sauce when I got a shout out one week. 

Last going off on R1, Granny Tinder was phenomenal. Loved the Who Game! The Don't Look it Up Quiz had so many hysterical rounds and I loved it when they would all completely lose it laughing - again mainly with Producer Will.

And in the R2 days, the show has been a big adjustment but it has come to such a lovely vibe. Elder Vs Millennial in particular is a feature that stands out for me. 

There are so, so many more. I still rewatch the musical on YT.  And still will. What an epic catalogue of memories to look back on.

Ahh Tap End was one of my absolute faves.  And the Lolathons were great too.

 

I totally forgot to mention Superfan Steve!

Innuendo Bingo, 24 Years at the Tap End, Oh What's Occurring? and the Real or No Reals with Charlie Sloth were all great! On Radio 2, I liked his Music Police feature. Shame he didn't keep it for the Breakfast Show.

The Charlie Sloth crossovers were hilarious chaos! I have only encountered those from old podcasts, but always made me laugh out loud!

Music Police is one I really hoped would make it onto the Breakfast Show too! Such a great feature with listener engagement. I wonder if they had too many celeb guests to manage something like that, but it was such a giggle

      I’m have no interest in listening to GK Barry so it shall be Sounds or Spotify for me.

      Agree completely about not having her on a Thursday, but 2 solid weeks would most likely be too much!!

      Let's hope so, as forcibly taking off one of the best shows on the station one day a week would rival Aled's employment of Danny Beard as his worst decision.

      This GK Barry thing is so weird. Surely they’d give her a slot in the summer instead of ripping up the schedule at the start of the year. Casual listeners will think the change is permanent as it’s lined up with the rest of the schedule changing.    Surely doing the two week stint that James is doing on Going Home would be better.

      Oh I’d forgotten about GK Barry. I do wonder whether Matt & Mollie requested to drop Thursdays or were forced. It’s so random to have a different show on a Thursday afternoon

      Some notes about the schedules released from the 5th September. James is still down to do Weekend Breakfast, it might be his last weekend. Nat and Vicky are down to do the 4th-5th September but generic listings on the 6th Sep. Callum Leslie in for Lauren on Life Hacks. Looks like there will be an Indie show on both the 6th and 8th September as it moves to it new slot. GK Barry begins her run of shows on the 10th September, it's called The GK Barry Show on Radio 1.

      Agreed. I wasn't expecting the gap to be as long as this, and we've not even got an announcement yet. I know they needed to get breakfast sorted, but we knew who was taking over within 4 weeks of Gary stepping in.

      In fairness almost all the presenters this summer have done two week stints. It’s bizarre that the interim show itself is continuing this far into the year though.

      W/C 7th September. Rather unsurprisingly, a new drivetime show isn't being launched this week. Gary Davies is listed still. I wonder if he'll now do a stint on drive until any new show launches.

      Of course completely understand it's not the most important thing to work on, but that doesn't explain how some updates have been made and then removed, that's even more work than just doing the update and leaving it!
