Laura to leave Scott Mills show


Jono

Recommended Posts

Unfortunately from the end of the next month there'll be team changes at Radio 1 towers. Laura is to leave the Scott Mills show after four years working with the Lord.

It's not all bad though, she'll be going off to produce Fearne and Reggie's weekend shows and so it means she'll be getting a promotion. However it does mean she'll no longer be appearing on Scott's show with her random stories nor will you hear her laugh in the background every afternoon.

:( That's pretty bad news for the show, Laura was my favourite "character" for the reasons you've just said. Good news for her though, and I hope the promotion works out well for her.

:( it will not be the same without her, the show will miss her terribly !

she is not just a producer she is one of the team, like Moyles has his team.

with out her input, the show will become stale & boring i think, you don't get any input on air from the producers of any other shows except Moyles, it will just end up being Scott on his own with bits & bobs from Chopper.

im not happy :x

Of course, this is good news for Laura, but it's not at all good news for us :(

The show isn't really the same without Laura - I remember one or two times when she's had a day off or something, and it just isn't the same.

I hope they find someone just as good to replace her, even if that's not possible :(

They could keep her name on the show, she'd probably still turn up more than Fearne ;)

I hope this means Scott will be doing the chart more. It's not the right job for him (he's too limited on it) but he knows what he's doing, and he makes it a good listen.

I'm i bit gutted that Laura won't be on Scott's show anymore, but congratulations if its a promotion although tbh i don't see her being able to help out Fearne and Reggie both of them are incredibly dull hopefully she won't be bored to tears like their listeners.

Good luck to Laura on her promotion. The Scott Mills show won't be the same without her. I hope they don't replace her with a woman who tries too hard to be funny and quirky.

I hope Laura does something drastic to Fearne and Reggie as I can't listen to the chart anymore now. It's bad enough that Fearne is always on the TV but she's ruined a radio show that I've loved ever since I was in my early teens.

PS did Laura tell you this news herself Jono?

I'm just the Perez Hilton of the Radio 1 world.

Hey Jono do you reckon you could pass on messages to Laura?

Good luck Laura we are all going to miss you.

Love you xxx

Feel free to post your comments here, she'll be reading throughout the week I'm sure.

    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
    • Just watched that advert and it made me realise quite how many 'big' specialist presenters there were back then
    • I've been reminded of this Radio 1 cinema advert. I remember being so excited to see it. The In New Music We Trust era. Everything felt so cool, even if they had Westwood.  
    • Just Vick and Katie on Wednesday (and presumably Thursday as well).
    • Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.   
    • Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background.
