I was genuinely very shocked to hear about this, I only heard about it this morning when I switched my radio on and heard Moyles talking about it, at first I just thought he was joking. I agree, he was amazing in Brokeback Mountain, the film world truly has lost a great talent. RIP.

So save the last dance

This is terribly sad news.

His performance in Brokeback Mountain was fantastic - so subtle and understated. I loved him in A Knight's Tale too - a really entertaining, if slightly historically inaccurate film.

His death is a great loss to the film world, as his acting just seemed to be getting better and better.

RIP.

I was really shocked when I found out in school today. It's so sad. He was too young to die!

I really liked him in A Knight's Tale and Ten Things I Hate About You. It's very sad that he is never ever going to do more films.

And his daughter will now grow up without her father. It's really unfair!

RIP.

My friends had a go at me for being upset by this. I thought he was really good in 10 Things I Hate About You and Brokeback Mountain and it is sad when someone this young dies so unexpectedly. My (male) friends think it's only women who care because they fancied him.

10 Things I Hate About you is one of my favourite films and it shows him as a teenager, it's sad he's died less than 10 years later.

People have started selling vile: why couldn't it be britney tshirts with heaths face on them :( Scum.

Haha, oops. What annoys me about Heath's death is those that only care about his death because they fancied him. If he'd have died and been a less good looking they wouldn't give a damn. All they seemed fussed about is the fact they won't be able to pretend they have a chance they'll marry him because he's dead. Pathetic girls.

I only saw him in Brokeback Mountain. I didn't fancy him. His death is truly tragic and trounces the lust many may have harboured for him I think.

It kind-of reminds me of the death of River Phoenix, who similarly died of an overdose, but of illegal drugs in 1993. He was already famous by then, but his talent (and looks) was seen as a huge loss to the movie industry.

Very sad indeed.

Speak for yourself! As good looking as Heath was, that's not the reason his death upset me. It's tragic whenever anyone that young dies, especially if their parents outlive them, not to mention Heath's talent and the loss to the film industry.

Were you having a bad hair day when you wrote this...? I was was surprised by this post Jono.

the more i have found out about him, the bigger the loss seems. but i have to agree with that. mind you, if abi titmuss kicked the bucket. i can imagine john taking weeks off.

on the grid.

I just saw Candy last night. It was the first movie I'd ever seen with him in it. It was an indie film from Australia that came out in 2006 and won a bunch of awards at film festivals. His performance in that movie is gut-wrenching. He plays a heroin addict deeply in love with his hooker girlfriend, and desperately trying to hold his life together. There's one scene where he is in the shower, trying to quit heroin at this point, and is having a complete breakdown. It was so intense I had to skip through it. Thats what an amzing actor he was. He was brilliant. And Candy is one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen.

I was suprised there was no sprt of tribute mentioned to him in the opening or the credits or the new batman film?

Apparently there is right at the end of the credits, but nobody seems to stay at the pictures until right at the end. I've been to see TDK three times now cos I'm a saddo and I've never been brave enough to stay right to the end in case people stare at me!!

That whole Mary-Kate Olsen thing is just odd if you ask me. I mean if she has nothing to hide and she had nothing to do with it, why won't she talk to the police without immunity?? Hmm.

I wasn't sure whether Candy might be a bit depressing, but it does sound like a really good film. After seeing him in The Dark Knight I've decided to check some more of his films out (I don't do chick flicks and I don't really do modern films very much aside from superhero films), the only other film I've seen him in is A Knight's Tale which I thought was great but a bit too soppy for me (no, really, I have no soul!).

To be honest, I wasn't a very big fan of Heath Ledger while he was alive, thought he was just too pretty and must only be rated as an actor because of that, and he really wasn't my type - far too good looking. But I admit to being absolutely horrified and shocked when he died, more than I have been even for actual heroes of mine that have died. I think it's just completely tragic when anyone so young dies. For heaven's sake he was only three years older than me. That's just scary.

It's just a crying shame that it wasn't until he died that the majority of people, myself included, sat up and actually realised what a phenomenal actor he really is. Was. It's still weird having to talk about him in the past tense.

Give us the motivation, we can cause a sensation!

      That’s two names who probably won’t be doing that slot permanently then.

      I stand guilty as charged as the DS poster.... It was I Okay, so yes Connor has good energy and does the show well, I take it back, however, my last experience of him he spent every other link saying "It's Connor Coates in for the ledge that is Charlie Hedges" and then he started saying "Clem Douglas" - again after critisising that I see she is styled as that sometimes The point I was trying to make was, yes we know it's Charlies show, we know she is a ledge, and we know she is not here today, no need to keep reminding us Regards R1 dance, I suspect Arielle is pointed at the drivetime slot to go against Mistajam unless we know it is breakfast that will be live ? Apologies to Connor and anyone offended by my comments, was just going on my past experience of Mr Coates, who seems to be a very competnt presenter

      Studio usage for new schedule

      By Lee E · Posted

      I know we have discussed this before, but can someone shed some light hoping @Lily Georgia can help Since the Wogan House closure, and 1-330 from Manchester, studio 82A (Mills) has been used by Scott's R2 show, in fact i note that him and Grandad Nelson are from there now days The question I have is with 1-330 coming from London again soon, who is getting a new studio? will Scott move to one of the newer ones down the corridor or will he remain in 82A and M&M get a new studio They cannot use 82D as that is used for drive, and currenlty 82A is in use by Scott from 2-4pm In the old days it used to be 82A for Greg, Scott, Annie and 82D Adele, RMC, Drive, Jack I note that Jack is in a brand new studio so maybe M&M will come from that one as well, maybe the same one as Vine uses?

      Producer Amy moving to Radio 1 Breakfast

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Very pleased for producer Amy - it's no coincidence many of the best shows in recent years have had her working on them. You can tell her & Helena are a great production duo and that the whole Matt & Mollie team are a really close-knit unit in general. Some lovely speeches by both Matt & Mollie too to end the show on Sunday.

      Echo what most have said here. Connor has great energy which is important for that sort of slot and the shame for him is that the dance line-up is so strong that there's no obvious 'in' for him to get a regular slot -Danny, Sarah, Pete Tong, Arielle, Charlie Hedges, Jerry and Charlie Tee are all great in their slots. A live show on Radio 1 Dance really feels the obvious way to get a proper foot in the door at Radio 1. Although to be fair to the DS critic I think it was just the one poster and can very much hear Connor in my head saying 'in for the legend that is Charlie Hedges'.

      I remember hearing Amy first on Scotts show and she was great on that, the daft quiz questions always made me smile. It's really nice to see the hard work has paid off for them all.

      Actually the worst tends to be those who comment on Radio Today news stories. People who haven’t listened to younger oriented radio stations in years who say things like “who?” about any job going to any presenter aged younger than 50.

      Ahhh very happy for Amy - that’s very well deserved! I didn’t hear their final show but are Matt and Mollie keeping Helena? Hopefully she might be the main producer of their new show!
