Hee hee! It's only really 2 shows at once. EE is on then River City after it. I'll really be watching them but keeping my eye on the award show on the computer to see if I can see anyone from Radio 1.......you would think I have nothing else to do with my time :P

I'm going to keep Radio 1 on as well. Love Annie Mac. Zane is at the ceremony I presume?

Sounds like you had a wonderful time Jono - can't wait to read what you write about it :)

Did you and Catherine get on well? I know from experience - festivals, lack of sleep, hot weather and drinks have caused rows with my mates on occasion.

Haha. Scott probably has finished off a bottle of wine already! Damn those deceptively huge glasses! ;)

Oh yes, and I sent the text in about Scott probably losing the world exclusives :P How could he lose the Wing tape, the numpty!

I've heard clips of most of Wing on Radio 1 already, so I think she hasn't been lost to us forever.

The Beeb have more than one copy. They obviously knew Scott wasn't to be trusted.;)

on a side note, this Coldplay track has really grown on me lately!!

Yeah - I downloaded it today. It's amazin'. Surely Scott could easily have got whoever was filming to dub it off.

I thought it was a bit of a fix when Ant and Dec won that radio award.

Moira Stewart was the biggest name in my opinion, and that's saying a lot!

I assume Chris' mum and dad went along because they knew he'd win. Be a bit of a screw up if Johnny Vaughn had won and they came out to present it ;)

The cosy cardigan award for long service to Jenny Abramsky was the one that was fixed.

Also on the subject of celebs - Moyles met someone off of Blake's 7. That surely beats even Starsailor and The Zombies for celebs from yesteryear (brilliant fun though Blake's 7 was, it was a looooong time ago).

    • 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.
