I've warmed to Beccy already

Maybe - but the show hasn't suffered this week because of it, has it?

I think it has changed. The show isn't just about what we hear on air - how do we know the show hasn't suffered behind the scenes?

Well she obviously likes the sound of her own voice and is seeking fame. Personally I don't care what she thinks, especially when she's on more than Scott the presenter who I want to hear from!

It's TOTDS' decision if someone is to speak or not. If he didn't think she contributed positively he wouldn't let her do it. I don't see your argument. She may speak a little more than Chappers but that's because she is in the studio more often. She's no different to Laura in that respect.

I'm not having a go at her, I just don't think she should be on - she's not a presenter and had done nothing to prove her worth of being on air!

So for that reason should Chris Moyles' breakfast team stop speaking?

It's a bit suspicious of all these newbies that have suddenly appeared to discuss Beccy. It seems a little odd considering the rest of us have been very positive. Anyway, welcome along. I'd like to remind you to keep criticism constructive, especially when it involves team members who visit!

Hi guys - hope you're all well?

Was having a read of the forums earlier and feel this is all getting a bit out of hand, and that both Laura and Beccy could get hurt by comments on here. It must be hard for Beccy to follow on from Laura, and I know it's been hard for Laura to leave behind her team. She is totally enjoying her new job but you can appreciate it might be hard for her at times.

Let's all play nicely and stop with these comparisons so not upset anyone, ok?

don't jump to conclusions. there is one becky basher on here right now who has only just joined, the rest of us (some whom have been here years) are giving her a chance and she's responding well. we miss laura and always will, it's not the same without her around anymore. but there is nothing we can do and have had to move on, although we are delighted for laura being as she is moving up the ladder.

i haven't been able to get a good grasp on the show latley being as i am decending into a personal madness with my life it seems. i hope to get things back on track and listen more, but i catch it in the car sometimes. and from what i have heard of becky she seems to be settling in well and interacting well too. i hear her a lot, and considering i don't hear the show as much as i used to that's a good sign. i don't think she can fill laura's shoes at all, she's wearing her own instead i think. i think in time we will see becky as becky and not the girl who replaced laura.

on the grid.

Have I missed something? Where has Laura gone and who is Becky?

As the below quote says. It was announced a while back:

This is quite a popular question on the facebook page aswell. Laura left at the end of March to go and produce the chart show with Fearne and Reggie on Sundays!

    • I see Katie (and Mairead) were out with Jordan tonight.  I don’t listen to the show any longer, I am shocked they are allowed to mention Jordan.
    • At least I do not ask stupid questions…😂
    • I suggest you follow the other DJs too if so, you will learn the hardest working will go further 🤣
    • A simple check on his instagram would answer all your questions , he’s on tour with his wife and the team behind his podcast. I suggest anyone to follow the radio presenters, you will learn a lot about their other jobs and work commitments. 
    • Where is Jamie? It felt like he was settling in when Vick wasn’t on but he’s not been on since last Tuesday now. They’ve not even mentioned him, in fact they’ve mentioned Jordan more than they’ve mentioned him in the last two days.
    • Scott's show is on the road next week, live from Malmö in Sweden on Wednesday and Friday, ahead of Eurovision. As he's doing the semi final coverage on the TV on Tuesday and Thursday alongside Rylan, Gary Davies sits in for him on those days.
    • I don't feel there's so much overlap between M&M and Scott's shows. M&M is of a similar calibre to Scott & Chris on R1, with genuine laugh out loud moments and usually a show packed full of real interesting content. Scott's R2 show is IMO a shadow of the stuff he did on R1 (not his fault, he's doing exactly what station management want), with music and content to appeal to a much older audience.
    • To be fair, Scott & Chris would've still been fine on Radio 1. It was mentioned at the time that Scott's move was very much on Radio 2's part rather than Radio 1 wanting to move them on. That's the one problem that Radio 2 has, trying to appeal to such a wide demographic.. it's the perfect listen for many, but equally a turn off for many others. I think they have the balance fairly right.     
    • I agree Scott has always been a good standalone presenter, but always better when with someone. When chappers left the radio one show it felt a different show and Chris joining was what it needed and brought new life. for the format of the radio 2 show Scott’s show fits well with the station but again, there’s the huge gap between radio1 and 2 As been said already old radio2 listeners feel it now feels too young with latest changes, yet old radio1 listeners still feel radio 2 feels too old. The inbetween stage demographic of too old for radio 1 but too young for radio 2 is still not catered for radio 2 was left to grow old with its audience for too long and to change things up now feels to try and change a brand image the right thing to do is leave it as it is and cater for that 1.5 demographic which I’m sure the new proposed 00s and 10s station will do if approved. Problem is it’s so overdue that by the time it gets off the ground these listeners are already likely to be lost and the changing image of radio2 likely to lose what it stands for as a brand with the “it’s too young now “  moving to boom and the “ it still sounds old “ crowd not able to move with their favourite presenters like Scott so finding themself on capital a radio 1.5 would have been perfect for Scott and Chris, seems unlikely but this is why I think who branding of bbc radio needs a rethink if these new stations get off ground
    • Bank Holiday Monday Schedule 6am-10am: Arielle Free in for Greg 10am-2pm: Dean & Vicky (No Rickie, Melvin & Charlie) 2pm-6pm: Vick & Jamie (No Katie) 6pm onwards: As normal.
    • Dare I say they've sounded great this past week?  Very much gelling.  Maybe less pressure?  Seem to be having a genuinely good time and not forcing things.
    • I'm in the minority in my workplace, most of them love country music.  Me, the American, does not care for it.  That said, I haven't haaaaaated some of the country adjacent stuff that's been on the R1 playlist.  
    • The Eurovision semi finals are on from 8 to 10pm on Tuesday 7th and Thursday 9th May with Richie Anderson. That means Sara Cox in on till 8 on those days.  Saturday 11th May is Eurovision 'Super Saturday... 1-3pm Your Ultimate Abba song with Gary Davies  3-6pm Michelle Visage's Eurovision All Stars 6-8pm Eurovision Request Party with Owain Wynn Evans 8pm Eurovision Grand Final with Scott Mills and Rylan Clark  
    • It is funny because everyone thought Matt was on the way out, now he's been described as the heir to Mills.
