I heard on Scott Mills last night that Scott had agreed to come to Guernsey to switch on the lights for the Tree of Joy. This is marvelous news, and makes us all very very happy.

However, he was also wondering why on earth the picture in the Guernsey Press included a sizeable soft toy panda. I will have you know a lot of effort went in to locating said panda!

My colleague searched island wide for a panda suitable for the job (there seems to be a shortage of Panda in Guernsey), before finally locating one that was up to the job - and was very kindly leant to us by the kindly people from Aladdins Cave.

Scott, if you read this - we will do our uptmost to locate such a panda to accompany you on your visit to our island.

And as a tip for when you arrive - there is a small Chinese restaurant located near to a popular island club in town. It is called the Panda Chinese. It does the most amazing chinese and is open until 3am. (It may only taste amazing due to consumption following large amounts of alcohol - but that is besides the point.)

It burnt down once, shortly after I had slipped on the floor and damaged my elbow and demanded free prawn crackers for my pain. (To which they obliged). The very same night they tried to charge me £1 too much for my prawn toast.

That said, it has overcome its demons and is a fine place from which to purchase your late night snacks. Seeing as you are such a fan of Panda, this should do you well.

See you in November!!

I am glad that he is coming to Guernsey. It has provided us with much amusement. And it was the funniest thing to come back from my lunch break the other day to hear a colleague all stressed on the phone saying 'Oh hello, I was wondering if you had a giant toy panda you'd mind lending us for a photoshoot?'

I love my job.

Goodness! I hope Scott realises just how much excitement and anticipation his forthcoming visit has caused on the fair isle of Guernsey, and how much effort has been made for him to feel at home. Pandas etc. Just stock up the fridge with the Pinot Grigio and he'll show up.;)

We never get any 'celebrities' in Guernsey. (Unless you count Andy Scott Lee? He's been a couple of times) So this pending visit is really quite thrilling.

A cook turned on ours last year. He was supposedly brought up in Norfolk, although I have no idea who he was. You're lucky to get Andy Scott-Lee to be honest. Heh. Weird because our lights are always in the news for being good.

I had a Panda Chinese in the early hours of yesturday morning. It was good, and they very helpfully dialled a taxi number on my behalf as I was incapable.

Seems a good Panda is so much more than a loveable cuddly bear.

You're forgetting Panda Pops!

      Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe

      Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.

      To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday?

      It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week.

      Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!

      There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?

      Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.

      Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters

      Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.

      Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.

      Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.

      Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By AndyK77 · Posted

      Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
