Watching Coronation Street on Friday night and they're still bloody on about David's Foals gig. How long can they draw that out in a script? Another week it seems. Clip here.

Also, surprised no one's picked up on Friday night's Eastenders comedy fall. Following on from Phil and the cake it's Shirley worse for wear. I mean fair enough it's a fall, but to end the show with that? Jeesh.

hahaha, I've never watched Corie, but it seems very slow moving.:D

Do you record the audio from everything?!

Just wondering how you do it, like clippings and stuff?

Yeah finally almost 7pm and the end of listening to Fern's voice. It seems to be worse now then before.:confused:

Duffy still number 1, ugh, bored of it now.

Switch next, though I don't know if it's as good now, it's still enjoyable.

EDIT: Eastenders is a riot isn't it :P

It seems if I miss a few episodes, everythings changed, except for the never ending Max-Stacey-Bradley-Tanya saga.

I quite like it with Grimmy.

Grimmy: "See ya later Reg! *Record plays* Oh yeah, and Fearne"

No, but if you see something funny you're sure to catch it again on the fifty repeats.

Can't wait for the surgery tonight... What are they talking about tonight? It is not updated on the website... The one where they do anything goes it the best, most interesting... I don't like the gang ones or the time when they did two weeks of self image. God.:evil:

As for the Surgery, I really don't know what they're talking about. Last week was a hoot though, Kelly really had some trouble.

Yeah it's better when it's a free for all, but Kelly really struggles.

Amazin' Andy Parsons is on Switch tonight.

You'd be surprised. Our mission in RS was to put 'Ready Salted Crisps' into our exam. That exam paper got me an A ;)

Haha, can't believe that what was the sentence like? By the way what's RS?

Thanks for the name change also.:)

Grimmy is making loads of mistakes tonight not to mention Kelly, lets see if she does better tonight.

It's only his third show, Kelly has been doing her show for 7 months now!

That's true, but she's a woman...joke, sorry I just had to say that even though it's not true, I'm not sexiest by the way.:D

But he was doing it with Anne Mac for longer too, but maybe she took care of most of the controls the only part he ever touched was the microphone.:)

Yeah, he was only a guest as such.

I don't give a damn about this Kate Modern bit.

YES! I never thought they'd repeat that show Scott was talking to them about!

Rather stupid though, on the last question "Do you think your a good person" she said yes and the answer was no, how do they know, it was a "Do you" question which means there are no right or wrong answers. I think that clip was a little edited but that's just my opinion.

Yes it was messily edited, they could have clipped something that would compact a bit better.

He was normally only there for about an hour or so when Annie Mac was presenting. Seemed to just be a case of plugging the TV show, having a general chat then going home.

    • It's a bizarre thing though....it would be nice to hear a few more tracks from the past 10 years mixed into daytime. However, at the other extreme, I find it odd how often really old tracks come up on Anthems and even the likes of Soundsystem Party and Dance Anthems.   The odd throwback is great but sometimes it feels too much.
    • I do like Cat Burns but it’s a good point about the many artists on future artists and other specialist shows. If they manage to launch the ‘Anthems’ like sister station hope they make changes to the stations playlist.
    • Some shows do play some songs from pre-2018 regularly. Mainly Matt & Mollie and Radio 1 Breakfast. Also don't forget the shortened Anne-Marie - Ciao Adios which gets played every 26 seconds. 😂
    • I hate reverse snobbery and I post this reluctantly as we shouldn't hold Jamie's background against him, but I do think many listeners will find it hard to identify with Jamie.  One of the things that made Jordan so popular was he sounded like the mate you go for a pint with who always has a great story to tell.
    • Absolutely - life would be dull if we all liked the same things  
    • Dean in for Greg on Tuesday.
    • While it maybe doesn't the power it once has (where being on the A-List was a big deal), It's a big part of the station and I felt probably deserves it's own thread. Have to be honest I haven't been hugely enamored with the playlist in recent times. Radio 1 seem quite heavily wedded to it in weekdays (at least Monday-Thursday) which can lead to the station being repetitive if you listen throughout the day. Even a station like Capital who are known for their limited playlist seem to throw in some older tracks and artists ever so often whereas if it's not Something Songs, 10 Minute Takeover or Anthems you often struggle to hear a song from before 2018. The repetitive nature has been a thing for a while though to be fair - I recall early 2021 in particular it felt like Tiesto's 'The Business' and Olivia Rodrigo's 'Drivers Licence' were played every other hour. Also certain Radio 1 favourites seem almost guaranteed a slot on the playlist even if they don't actually appear to be wildly popular with the target audience to justify it. I get it with your Dua Lipas, Calvin Harrises, Fred Agains  and Olivia Rodrigos as they're all very popular but less so if it's say Cat Burns, Aitch, Royal Blood or Mabel. Which is fine to an extent as Radio 1 has often focussed on promoting new music but then you have great music by other new artists that just never makes it to the playlist as a result.
    • Yep I really struggled with Matt & Jamie which was a shame as otherwise really like Matt. Unfortunately it comes across on-air whether it's actually try or not that Jamie doesn't know a lot about radio and doesn't seem particularly desperate to improve either or if I'm being generous he's playing an act - neither of which particularly appeals. The everyman act can sometimes work but you need to have that natural likability and appeal for it to do so in the way that way Chris Stark did. I mean even towards the end of his stint with Matt Jamie was struggling with getting the Whatsapp number right which is a basic.
    • Have to say even if there is a good reason for Jamie to be off on Thursdays the optics of them a month in still not be able to do a 'normal week' of the scheduled team for a brand new show isn't great. And if Jamie was meant to be away on Thursdays clearly nobody let whoever runs BBC Sounds know. Who would've guessed from the Vick & Jordan days though that it would be Vick who's the everpresent so far (just kidding Vick - really rate her as a DJ and I know she has a lot of other engagements outside of Radio 1).
    • Sorry explain what you mean there please? Danny is unlistenable?? 
    • I dunno if it is me but even Vick and Katie don't sound as good in that slot alone as they did before. Maybe I have just fallen out of love with it all.
    • Agree with most of this above. Listening to only vick and katie today, I was thinking that it doesn't need Jamie. Its very jarring how sometimes he's there and sometimes he isn't. I don't think it needs to be a trio. Surely there are bigger problems at the moment, Danny on a pretty big slot on the station is literally unlistenable.
    • Yes, the length of the time on the station does help as with Annie Mac she did what dance specialist DJs kind of get a bit more favourability with the evening listeners who start out on something specialist. With Annie Mac she did years on dance before going to the flagship new music specialist programme with giving opportunities to new DJs and curating the playlist and having something different from Clara’s more music daytime show where she had to work with the playlist. Had she done more time doing a specialist show later on in the schedule it may have oddly made the moment bigger. Think sometimes what has helped create such a unique sound in presenters and personalities like Annie Mac, Jack and Grimmy for example starting out doing a late show with looser format. Think for the next Jack, Annie and Clara’s of the station do need to have a late live slot and do hope when radio 1 relax is shut down that maybe they change the power down playlist for something with bit more freedom.
    • She is a good broadcaster no doubts but am of the same page with feelings mutual.
