Fresh from watching Midsomer Murders, I'm back to update you on the breakfast show news.

<b>Happy New Year from Unofficial Mills!</b>

The whole team was in today - even Chappers. Following his disappearing act on the last day of Scott Mills Gold, he's made it into the studio at 6.30am. Blimey. But what a treat we were left with whilst he was off. Westwood was the only DJ that would answer his phone last week, so was given the job of playing out Scott's best bits.

<I>Westwood: "I'm playing out Scott's best bits of the last 12 months... so it should only last 5 minutes"</I>

<b>Your mum and dad did some stuff...</b>

'Birthday Corner' was back on today sounding as fresh as ever. Unfortunately today there was only one card, so it soon came to an abrupt ending. Who said these features are fixed? Don't forget to write to Birthday Corner, The Chris Moyles Show, London, W1N 4DJ to keep this feature running.

<I>You may moan about Birthday Corner, but Radio Cornwall's equivalent is much more painful...</I></center>

It then emerged that many listeners had listened to Scott's show whilst in the delivery room. One listener had given birth to her son to the tune of Paris Hilton's Stars Are Blind, whilst another was expected around the time that awful Soulja Boy record was being played. Imagine having to be associated with that song for your life? Coincidentally <a href="http://www.thisdayinmusic.com/member/birthdayno1.php">Number 1 on the day I was born</a> was 'The Only Way Is Up' by Yazz and The Plastic Population. That might explain why I was born by caesarean.

<b>Let's play darts!</b>

Scott has discovered he has a new talent. He's realised he's good at darts and 'wiped the floor' with his friend Simon whilst in the pub recently. Chappers reckons he can get Scott "Robert" Mills a place in the darts championship this week, and now Scott is paranoid it might be 'beginners luck'. But it's not as easy as that, there are plenty of complications to this. You've got to have a good middle name, a busty blonde to walk on with, a fat wife, a decent tipple and a good song to walk on to. Scott's thinking that the Benny Hill theme tune would be unique. Either that or 'Man I Feel Like A Woman' by Shania Twain.

I think he's missing out on a trick here. He should be calling himself Scott Bob Mills and using the Spongebob Squarepants theme tune. And if Scott takes Laura in a bikini the massive wabs should distract the spectators away from the game. Let's not forget that he'll have to do away with the black shirts too if he wants to be a hit.

<b>We're bringing Maureen back...</b>

Away from this tomfoolery, Flirt Divert was back on, and as expected the lines were jam packed after the festive period. The first message featured a caller who sounded like they'd had a bit of an accident, and the phone cut off. The second caller came from Nigel who wanted to speak to Maureen (what are Maureen's doing listening to Radio 1?) and the third message came from a camp sounding Irish caller. And before you ask, it wasn't Louis Walsh. Remember to put 07770 774 914 in your phone!

Following on from this, we've now established they're bringing Maureen back. There were some fifteen, eighteen and twenty three year olds on the text with this name. I'd love it if that made the top names of 2008 when the list comes out in December - 'Grace' and 'Jack' are so overrated.

<b>Scott's Got Talent</b>

Laura and her boyfriend James were round at Scott's on New Year's Eve. James has discovered he has a new talent too. I'm presuming the show is gearing up for the new series of Britain's Got Talent here. Anyway, he's decided he's good at impressions and kept them entertained with the impressions right up till the chimes at midnight. As Scott explained, those who think they do good impressions tend not to be.

<I>Woah woah woah it's Coronation Street's Casanova Dev</I></center>

One caller proved Scott wrong with his Westwood impressions, but he also tried out his Smithers and Burns impression which were rubbish. Other impressions included Janice off of Friends, Jimmy Carr, Johnny Vegas and Loyd Grossman. Scott was keen to get a girl on who would do a Dev impression but none put themselves forward.

<b>Also in today's show...</b>

News on the cleaner front is that Scott's cleaner is back with her boyfriend. So he didn't invite her back for a Christmas Day meal. Meanwhile Scott's mum has had a 'round robin' letter about her friends family, better known as the 'bragagram'. We've done something similar <a href="http://www.unofficialmills.co.uk/show/theyear2007.php">here</a> for the review of the year. Oh and Eileen was back on again, Scott's secret song stalker. Today she was singing to tune of "I'm Not Sorry". She's a teacher you know; I bet parents evenings are a bundle of joy with her.

<b>Record of the Week</b>

This week's Record of the Week (kind of) is The Feeling and I Thought It Was Over. Which is clearly not the situation for their career as they've got an album out soon.

<div class="box1"><font size="2"><b>Your Views - Live discussion on the forum...</b></font>

<b>Grace</b> - Do pubs still have dartsboards in them? What is this, Eastenders? Or the 1960s?

<b>Kelly</b> - Haha, I'd pay to see Scott 'The Wotsit' Mills play darts.

<b>Seb</b> - My clock radio just clicked on and I wondered why they'd given Chappers the breakfast show</DIV>

Join in the discussion each morning <a href="http://www.unofficialmills.co.uk/communities/showthread.php?t=8238">here</a>. And tune in from 6.30am tomorrow for more from The Chris Moyles Show with Scott Mills.

    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?
    • Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.
    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.
    • With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now 
    • Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday. 
    • As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
    • Nat and Vicky are being sent to Ibiza this year. They’ll be live on Friday 1st August from 1-4pm.     
    • Since Radio 1 Dance and Anthems have been allowed to broadcast on DAB, do we think they’ll be a proper schedule of shows like on Radio 1 Dance with the morning show and Dance Anthems at drive time. Maybe Lauren Redfern, Tyler Selby, Chrissy Cameron or Matt Hallsworth will be scheduled on named shows like Hits Radio 00s or Capital Anthems rather than the generic ‘Radio 1 Anthems’ show. Obviously it would probably cost more to produce actual shows on the station however.
    • There's been a lot of positive reaction to the Mylo and Rosie news so am interested now to hear what their shows are like. And yep wouldn't be surprised if they stay on beyond July as cover ever so often. And that Friday-Sunday news was hidden in the small print a little. It presumably means we lose Party Anthems all that month as that is what has happened this year with Big Weekend, Glasto for example. I certainly I hope it isn't Party Anthems being quietly axed full stop - it and Future Pop are 2 real hidden gems on Radio 1.
