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

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.

    • I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right! 
    • Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!
    • Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.
    • If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.
    • The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!
    • What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.
    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
