Beginning of the new series and everyone was on top form, Frankie in particular. Some of his comments were sooooo politically incorrect we gasped in horror, but roared with laughter all the same.

What can I say? I'm afraid boyf and myself appear to have a sick sense of humour.:oops:

Funnily enough, it does rather surprise me Mitchell. Would've thought he'd be right up your alley, so to speak. I found him pretty funny this evening, but Russell's my fave.

Preferred Mitchell and Webb afterwards though. Shame the series has ended.

I much prefer M&W. That series has really come into it's own as just something that is fun, endearing and enjoyed by both the actors and the audience.

MTW comes across more like Live At The Apollo because it's just a platform for people like Frankie Boyle and Andy THE UNFUNNIEST HACK TWAT ON THE ENTIRE FUCKING PLANET Parsons (his given birth name, I hear) to reel off their stand-up routine. The only two who seem likeable and genuinely funny outside of their scripts are Hugh and Dara. Boyle just comes off as being "controversial" for the sake of it without really being very funny. It's just lines designed to get an "ooooh, he's so edgy" whilst he gives that stupid fucking smug smile that needs punching right off his face.

Much prefer shows like Would I Lie To You? because Lee Mack is funny and David Mitchell is awesome.

I love MTW, I agree with some of the comments regarding FB though, he can be very funny at times but I think a lot of his material is used over and over.

I love the shock element of his comedy but lately its become unpredictable and some of it I think pushes the boundaries of taste. I'm thinking in particular of a comment on 1 of the shows on Dave this week where he cracked a joke about Richard Hammond struggeling to remember his wedding day, If I remember rightly it wasnt that long after his Top Gear crash either.

Personally I think Russel Howard is the best thing on that show, very very funny guy and he reminds me a little of an old friend. Wish Rhod Gilbert would appear on it more though

Funnily enough I believe the producer is the same guy, unless theres 2 Dan Pattersons

yeah its by the same people who did "who's line is it anyway" but that was more improv comedy than jokes.

im not sure Jono would allow the vids to be posted on here, but FB's most controversial joke is the Princess Diana one, just put 'frankie boyle diana' in to YT

I didnt realise there was more than just the producer that were on both programmes.

I had a look at the YT vid, it was a bit harsh, having said that I id laugh, but then again I do have a pretty dark sense of humour

Talking of his un-pc stuff, anyone else remember the fuss over the gag about a certain part of the queens anatomy being so old it was haunted?

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By Dan18F1 · Posted

      The Summer on Radio 1 thing makes me wonder whether they might be doing something similar to last year again where they have a temporary schedule over the summer before introducing changes in September - maybe the new host won’t start until after the summer?

      Radio 1's Big Weekend 2024

      By Jono · Posted

      There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first.

      It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?

      Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also

      For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By Rob86 · Posted

      I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg.

      The eighth floor

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!

      How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By Bluestraw · Posted

      I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!

      A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.

      Rylan and Scott

      By xxladybarefootxx · Posted

      I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.
