Scott Mills Gold should be good as I am still a quite new listener - haven't even been listen for one year - and there's a lot that I have never heard. Looking forward to it.

Chappers is only sucking up to us 'cos we'll be providing some of the content of his show for the next fortnight. Don't look a gifthorse in the mouth an' all that.

Haha, that's true. There's a reason those clips sound like vinyl. I bet he doesn't have a draw full of DVDs full of shows from the last year.

Is Chappers EVER off. I think he needs to sort out his life. As much as I love him, there's something wrong. Ah well at least we will have one of them on the show. And anyway, why is it the Scott Mills show and not Scott and Chappers - I know he's a sports reader but he contributes to the show just as much. Bet Jono will know :D

Up until recently there was Laura too, so really it couldn't just be Scott and Chappers.

Chappers has been a busy man recently, but it no doubt means he's entitled to two weeks off sometime soon when Scott returns.

Not only is he working really hard at the moment, he's also going to run 26 miles on Sunday for a very good cause. Details about how to donate whatever you can are on the home page.

There needs to be a lead really - just like The Chris Moyles Show.

Very strangely, I've actually enjoyed Fearne and Reggie this week...

That lass that used to do Scott's show, the one that name slips my memory, she's probably been quite good at sorting out the show.

I find it strange they give a patronising "well done" when someone gets to Number 1. As if they're actually listening.

The thing that still annoys me about them is the way that everything is exaggerated.

Reggie: 'H2O, this was number 2 for absolutely aggeeeeeees'

Oh b*llocks it's Fearne. Moyles just mentioned her absences. She said she's only missed 3 shows? Eh? Thought they said the BBC doesn't lie.

It's Radio 4 or listen again for the next few hours for me then...

    • 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?
    • 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?
    • They seem to be using James more for cover now makes me think it will be him getting weekends eitjer breakfast or 1 till 4 
    • 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.
    • Ore Olukoga is in for Arielle on Tuesday 14th May. James Cusack is in for Danny Beard on Saturday 1st June. James Cusack is in for Nat on Sunday 2nd June.
    • 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. 
    • 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? 
    • 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.
    • He must be in his element. At Eurovision and a Gold award!
    • 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.
