Losing love with the show again?

Recommended Posts

I think I'm losing love with the show again. It certainly seems to having an imagination drought and it seems like Radio 1's other shows have a lot more uniqueness going on.

Barryoke is already back, Lloyd is back again, the ex-box discussion is back, and Scott even admitted himself some of the 'pointless quiz of the day' was a repeat last week.

It just seems all very unoriginal at the moment and not something that is that loud out funny. Am I alone on this one?

They should bring back RAOK, I miss that. Being honest, I've not been paying much attention to the show because of exams, and this could be why the material is unoriginal at the moment - a lot of R1's target audience are so busy because of exam season that they're not going to be paying all their attention to the show.

I'll probably listen more over the summer. I've just tuned in but I have to go to the supermarket soon to buy picnic foods. I haven't listened much recently because I was busy with exams and coursework and now I am unable to listen much due to a lack of radio. I'll pass judgement on the show when I'm listening more but it does seem to go through ups and downs.

Despite these points. He is still better than moyles. All he does is talk about how fat and rich he is

:yeahthat:

I can't pay as much attention as I'd like to because of revision but it's brilliant, just playing in the background and I never get fed up ;)

Haha - this made me laugh. I agree as I'm getting more frustrated at Moyles week by week thesedays - way too much shouting for that time in the morning.

Still enjoy the Mills show though, everything ebbs and flows at least a bit.

I dont really know what it is but the show feels a bit stale, it needs something to spice it up a bit it. For some reason i seem to be drifting from it, i used to listen to the show most days and listen to the podcast again for the funny bits now i struggle to listen to the entire show and the podcasts just build up until itunes decides i dont want them anymore and stops.

Prank Phonecalls were always funny.

Flirt Divert? is that still on or do i just never listen at the right times?

I liked Inuendo Bingo.

I liked My Name is Scott at the start, spice it up a little take a leaf out of the grim ritas book and let people vote for what they want your punishment to be :P A bit of Grave Diggin might be fun to listen to. Probs better than Listen to a child talking about football.

I haven't listened to it a lot over the past 2 months because of exams but I haven't been that impressed with the bits I have heard. I think the show could do with some new features, even the Wonder Years is starting to sound stale and dated. It would be good to hear a few more RAOK though... and I reckon they should do the guy from the Majestic Cinema in Kings Lynn again as well, I really miss his takes on current films, haha.

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I have found the show quite, dare I say boring, for the last few months. I was not a fan of Laura so I know its not that. I do dip in and out now and finding the show was not as good as last year. It seems to have lost its sparkle somewhere.

Saying that, I had to turn off Moyles this morning He droned on about the Apprentice all morning.

Drove me round the bend :(

I enjoyed the interview with the apprentices on Moyles, but otherwise you're right Mike.

Looking forward to Jo struggling to interview Coldplay later on. Haha.

I would agree that Scott's show seems slightly lacklustre atm. I can't quite put my finger on what the problem is though. I think he needs some really good new features, and could perhaps bring back some of the old favorites. Lloyd is beginning to get up my nose a bit too. I liked him at first, but now I'm not so sure...

Beccy's classifieds are really fun though. Great idea to get Greg to read them.

    • It's amazing how stable that slot has been over the past 20 years - 3 presenters only. By comparison, the previous 20 years seen 8 or 10 presenters depending how you measure it.  (Whether you treat Kevin and Zoe as separate to Zoe and whether you count Mark Goodier's 4 months on Breakfast as more than just cover).
    • On July 8th Greg will surpass Grimmy's tenure on Radio 1 breakfast (5 years, 319 days) as the second-longest breakfast show presenter. He has already passed Tony Blackburn and Sim Mayo. I'm not sure if he will make Moyles' record of 8 years, 253 days, but he certainly still seems fresh and full of ideas!
    • I guess we'll have to wait and see when the new schedule kicks in, although I could see Scott staying where he is.  Assuming that's the case and there are no other moves, there would be several available studios for Matt & Mollie - 82C or 82E of the 'old' studios, and 82M or 82N of the new ones. 
    • The BBC commissioning brief mentions it is a 'mid morning show' for Radio 1 Dance https://www.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/radio/documents/comm_brief_r1_dance_morning_show.pdf
    • Nothing to apologise about, I was just intrigued on how DS and UM react
    • I would be pretty confident that if they keep avoiding using James Cusack on that slot over the next few weeks, then it will probably be him that gets the show permanently! 
    • That’s two names who probably won’t be doing that slot permanently then.
    • Moyles spent most of the 52hr sgow calling him that lol
    • I stand guilty as charged as the DS poster.... It was I Okay, so yes Connor has good energy and does the show well, I take it back, however, my last experience of him he spent every other link saying "It's Connor Coates in for the ledge that is Charlie Hedges" and then he started saying "Clem Douglas" - again after critisising that I see she is styled as that sometimes The point I was trying to make was, yes we know it's Charlies show, we know she is a ledge, and we know she is not here today, no need to keep reminding us Regards R1 dance, I suspect Arielle is pointed at the drivetime slot to go against Mistajam unless we know it is breakfast that will be live ? Apologies to Connor and anyone offended by my comments, was just going on my past experience of Mr Coates, who seems to be a very competnt presenter  
    • I know we have discussed this before, but can someone shed some light hoping @Lily Georgia can help Since the Wogan House closure, and 1-330 from Manchester, studio 82A (Mills) has been used by Scott's R2 show, in fact i note that him and Grandad Nelson are from there now days The question I have is with 1-330 coming from London again soon, who is getting a new studio? will Scott move to one of the newer ones down the corridor or will he remain in 82A and M&M get a new studio They cannot use 82D as that is used for drive, and currenlty 82A is in use by Scott from 2-4pm In the old days it used to be 82A for Greg, Scott, Annie and 82D Adele, RMC, Drive, Jack I note that Jack is in a brand new studio so maybe M&M will come from that one as well, maybe the same one as Vine uses?
    • Maia Beth is doing Friday Early Breakfast on 7th & 14th June.
    • Joel Mitchell is in for Nat on Sunday 9th June.
    • Ore Olukoga is on 13.00-16.00 on Friday 31st May and Friday 7th June.  Nikita Kanda is doing Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd June.
    • Very pleased for producer Amy - it's no coincidence many of the best shows in recent years have had her working on them. You can tell her & Helena are a great production duo and that the whole Matt & Mollie team are a really close-knit unit in general. Some lovely speeches by both Matt & Mollie too to end the show on Sunday.
