Radio 2 in the Park 2024

[The Stig]

I think I must be the only 1 who doesnt mind Dick & Dom. In da bungalow maybe not, but on R1 I dont mind them. I wasnt sure a yr ago when the new schedule was announced but that idea was soon squashed

You're not the only one. I think its a shame they're leaving.

[Jono]

Perhaps the poor souls ran out of Dick related jokes

I always thought to myself I would have to say Dom t save myself soundin a complete tit.

They were always a good listen on a Sunday morning when my head was buried in co-op paperwork

[Rob]

I don't think they're as bad as everyone makes out

[Nik B.]

Dick and Dom aren't bad radio presenters in my eyes, they have awesome amounts of charisma, and I'm sure someones gonna shout at me for saying this... but Personality too! I just don't think lie in was the right show for them.

[daniel_jp]

I agree - i liked dick and dom when i listened. I thought they actually worked well on the radio and t hey seemed like they put alot into it as well. I think that the lie-in was actually a good slot for them but i think maybe in another slot they could have done better - but as they said they didnt want to commit to more shows/days.

Those who said the lie-in wasnt good for them - where do you think they are suited for? Chart Show? Switch? Early Breakfast or Weekend Breakfast?

[Nik B.]

can you imagine if the tables had been turned, and double D (hehehe) got Weekend Breakfast! It would of been great! I do Like Nihal though, have done since I started listening to his show with Bobby Friction, great paring

[Jono]

Nah, they must have been offered something more. Something like Early Breakfast or afternoons. I can't imagine they'd have turned down something like weekend breakfast.

[simon38]

not sure if jo is back in january,she said to moyles,i won't see you for about 6 months in the handover this morning,looks like her maternity leave starts in 3 weeks

[welovemoyles]

If Coxy gets rid of the lie-in on sundays. I will become a full time listener of JK & Joel.

[ali2098]

I'm glad Dick and Dom are leaving, never liked them. Greg really does deserve an early promotion, but I'm not sure what to..

[welovemoyles]

How the radio 1 schedule should look-

Mon-Fri

4AM- 6AM Dick & Dom

6AM-10AM The Chris Moyles Show

10AM-1PM Jo Whiley

1PM-4PM Annie & Grimmy

4PM- 7PM Scott Mills

7PM-9PM Zane Lowe

10PM-Midnight Colin & Edith

Sat & Sundays

7AM-10AM Weekend Breakfast with Coxy

10AM-1PM Vernon Kay/ Fearne & Reggie

1PM-4PM Nihal- Footy update

4PM-7PM Request/Chart Show with Greg James

7PM-10PM BBC Switch with the public. Teens of the public take over radio 1?

10PM-Midnight The Surgery with Aled

How does everyone think the schedule should look?

What you think of mine?

[craigh]

:yeahthat:i agree with you there 100%

[Jono]

Good point. The Lie In is a brilliant show. But Sara wouldn't suit that sort of show. What a difficult decision.

[James R]

Good point. BUT how long do you think it will be before she is covering someone and they get Greg etc to fill in??

[daniel_jp]

Coxy is to much of an experienced and respected presnter to be reduced to doing one show a week which has a set format - she needs and deserves something more. Im a bit disapointed she is only doing one show and hope we hear her covering all over the pace instead of annie mac

[Jono]

You need to remember it's her choice though. Just like Vernon chose to do one day a week.

[Hazrold]

I think that Dick and Dom weren't right for radio. They're playlists were really bad aswell.

It's because you're 12 and wouldn't appreciate the old music

[James R]

I always loved the music.

[augusta92]

What a mess

I really support women's rights to have decent maternity benefits...but from a listeners point of view it has created a real muddle of presenters!

I missed who was meant to be covering Edith's afternoon slot for the next few months...?

I think she'll be really good on a sunday morning... but what happened to the all singing all dancing modern mum who was going to carry on with her normal life after having a baby....and now is coming back to work part time..... I wonder if she will go back to working full time... or have a few years break working part-time?

You're right, she should either pop the sprog out in the morning and come back for her show in the afternoon or hand her job other to someone who doesn't have one of those pesky uteri.

I actually think that R1 have done a good job of covering her slot, and after all, if she comes back too soon, and she's at the stage of worrying constantly about the baby, it'll be the show that suffers.

but what happened to the all singing all dancing modern mum who was going to carry on with her normal life after having a baby.

Believe me, my Mum did that, it's not good, unless you're superhuman.

With regards to Dick and Dom, I'm not particularly sorry to see them go. I liked the lie-in, but other than that, I found the sense of humour on the show to be quite childish, as if they hadn't moved on from kid's TV. I hated the "I love Dick" thing too, it was an okay concept but it jumped the shark a long time ago, I got very fed up of all the callers who thought they were oh-so-original by saying they loved Dick, it was just cringeworthy.

[Jono]

but what happened to the all singing all dancing modern mum who was going to carry on with her normal life after having a baby....

I'm pretty sure that was just EF4L that was going around saying that. She's starting to become the female Iain Smith

I don't think this is the end of the schedule changes. The new year is likely to bring some more.

[The Stig]

I think that Dick and Dom weren't right for radio. They're playlists were really bad aswell.

Couldn't disagree more. Dick and Dom's show is the best for music. It's a R1 highlight of the week for me.

[Jono]

I loved the three hour lie-in today.
