Hi everyone - I had an appointment but have been listening since 5pm. Loved hearing Adele on the cider again.

I imagine It'd be a lot of fun seeing a sober Chappers reacting to Adele and Scott after they'd been on the cider and pinot grigio respectively! :D

Will Scott or Moyles win anything tonight? And will Kelly? I wonder.

Scott, Moyles and Zane stand a good chance, especially considering some of their pretty lame oppositon. Kell-O - no comment.

Hey Sigrid.

All this transparency is just comically with "Live Becky - Not Live Becky" and constant references to the pre-record. When will it all end?

The only good thing about it that I can see is the material it gives Scott and others allowing them to be a bit subversive and make fun of the rules.

I liked the bit just now where Scott pretended to talk into to the news and then said "don't bother to answer, I'm not really here..." :D

Hi Sigrid.

Yeah think I will watch it while watching East Enders and River City on the telly.

Wow! multi-tasking to the max! I couldn't watch 2 shows at once let alone 3. Some of us old folk (i.e. me :D) just aren't up to it.

And just who bought that Scooter album, by the way? :confused:

I've seen. You look unhappy on it!

I was. I had just been filmed by camera crews and had my photo taken 10 times.

I like the BBC honesty. I'd rather be told he's on tape than be tricked.

Haha. Bless. And they used that one for the website? How bad were the others? :P

I think it's because everyone kept getting in the way, plus they didn't really say when they were taking them.

PS. Hi hunnies, I'm home! Almost seven hours later...

Welcome back Jono. Jeez! That's a looong journey.

You're telling me. If it goes to Ireland next year I reckon I could get there quicker than anywhere that requires me using a train ;)

Of course. It's just the way it's being made such a big deal of just now - it's a little bit OTT and I find that mildly funny.

How are you Jono? Are you shattered, sunburned but very happy? It's a fabulous experience just being there, I can't begin to imagine how great it must have been having a Press Pass!

Just got a intro with Emma B on the webcast reminding us the Sony Awards show starts at 7pm. :)

Would be awesome if it went to Ireland. Quarter of my family is over there. Though, they'd start saying I was shaming the family again for not being able to drink Guinness. Cuh.

Realistically press pass gave you very little. I think that's because press don't like me so they didn't sort anything out for me. The guest area was good though, and I had access to that both days. I'm not too bad though - had a good nights sleep last night. My feet ache though!

It feels so good to be typing on a keyboard after several days of a mobile phone and dodgy laptop. Lovely bed and breakfast though. Will be sure to give you a proper account later.

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • 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. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • 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.
