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.

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!

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By Dan18F1 · Posted

      The Summer on Radio 1 thing makes me wonder whether they might be doing something similar to last year again where they have a temporary schedule over the summer before introducing changes in September - maybe the new host won’t start until after the summer?

      Radio 1's Big Weekend 2024

      By Jono · Posted

      There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first.

      It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?

      Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also

      For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By Rob86 · Posted

      I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg.

      The eighth floor

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!

      How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By Bluestraw · Posted

      I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!

      A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.

      Rylan and Scott

      By xxladybarefootxx · Posted

      I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.
