Recommended Posts

sounds like a maidstone voice over they used for one big weekend, they did the same thing after a while with the current male voice, he was used for one big weekend and then about this time last year i think he changed to all voice over work. saying that the old lady is back from time to time,

Cringe, Is it Holly from Maidstone?

I think I still prefer Becky the old lady but i'm sure she will grow on me.

They changed the male V/O this time last year so is it on a rotation of change - change the female one year, change the male the next year etc...

seems now like if you do voiceovers for the big weekend, you get the 'big' gig eventually. Didn't the current male one start off as a big weekend voiceover.

It would be quite funny if all the ID's were 'HI I'm Holly from maidstone..this is vernon kay.'

I suppose we'll grow to like her. But I agree Jono, her voice sounds a bit confused on the newsbeat stuff.

I can't work out why those country farmers off of Glastonbury last year haven't got the gig then...

Wherever she's from, she's not from the north (like 90% of BBC output). Is it just me or does she say 'Radio 1' a bit funny in between newsbeat stories. Her voice goes up on the 'rad' if you get what I mean.

It's probably just clips of Scott from early breakfast.

'Quick he mentioned Vernon Kay, we can use that for an ID and pretend it's a hot new voiceover artist!'

I don't like the thin, reedy quality to her voice, she seems a bit, dare I say it, thick and her delivery is poor . :|

I'm certain there are plenty of other people out there with far more pleasant voices and better pronunciation than Holly from Maidstone. I really don't understand why she got the gig?

I had to laugh at Moyles this morning on Carpark Catchphrase. There was a girl on from Maidstone.

Moyles: "Oh do you know Holly then?"

Girl: "Yeah!"

Moyles: "You know Holly from Maidstone?"

Girl: "Yeah!"

Unfortunately we all do now...

Yeah, that made me smile too this morning. I sense Moyles doesn't quite approve Holly being given the job.

I also think Chops' idea isn't bad. It might be nice to have the announcements/links done in various different regional accents. No Brummie or Welsh ones though please.;)

Was the guy from Preston One Big Weekend not Lip off of Shameless?

It is indeed. I prefered the deeper sounding guy but I suppose they are trying to make them sound youthful. I agree with Nati that they sound a bit thin. I suppose that's why they get voiceover guy in a lot... Speaking of which...

They should get Posh Radio 4 Lady to do all of the voiceovers..spread her popularity!

Yeah Radio 4 Lady and Voiceover Guy ;)

    • I think Jack Saunders if in for the long haul may mature and develop as a presenter with the opportunities to do big interviews and features. I think I really enjoyed him doing the late version of the indie show the presentation style of future artists got repetitive of presenting as if every show is the first time the shows on air with over explaining the purpose. But think this show could have a different approach 
    • Not a fan of Jack Saunders, but ...  This is a marked improvement over Clara Amfo (almost anything would have been) - And it's also better than what JS was doing in his previous slot - He's definitely been listening back to Zane Lowe, and drawing lessons from that.
    • @lochnessa what an incredible feature, really do miss the games from that show
    • Life Hacks is on 20.00-22.00 on Monday 13th, Tuesday 14th & Wednesday 15th May - in place of Future Artists and Future Pop.
    • Brother or Lover? WhooooOOOOooooeoeehrheroooooooooo.
    • What's your morning routine when you're working?
    • I feel like we all know how they'll answer that!
    • Makes sense, I always assumed they all went for 1D members regardless.
    • Do you prefer doing Capital Breakfast to Radio 1 or the other way round?
    • Jesus christ, Olivia Rodrigo was around 3 years ago!?! I thought she was only born in 2019. Anyway. They are doing it to rival commercial networks, on the main 2 lists anyway with rotating them more. Which all in all is a pit of misery. I'm sick to bloody death of Stick Season, it's an utter bag of mediocre wank that makes me even prefer James Blunt circa 2005. Radio 1 still is more expansive however, loved stuff they play and make their own early days, like Jungle Back on 74 like last year.  They can't lose doing stuff that, or else they become bland like everyone else. They have done that for many years though. I heard a song on a March 2001 aircheck from Chris Moyles recently and rediscovered a song by Kings Of Convenience, called Toxic Girl. Totally lost over 25 years but totally love it like it's new. Radio 1 has always played the big time pop stuff since your nan was 3. But they always have and still do throw something on the playlists that isn't what everyone else has. I hope they continue to do that as it sets them apart. 
    • I think they are looking too much into this and need to get a proper job where you have to get up at 5am.
    • Zayn's current song isn't on the R1 playlist so would be odd for him to do an interview I guess, not sure either would want it?
    • You have both presented together before your show on Capital. Have you spent time together as friends since, or is the reunion like getting to know one another all over again?   I’m a long time listener in my mid 30s and now outside the R1 target audience age… Chris is into barbecuing and Jordan is into air frying, have you both noticed a change in the other since the days of R1? And are you under any pressure to be on trend at Capital? 
    • What do you both miss most about your time at R1?
    • How are you finding the early mornings, and having your afternoons free? Was it easy getting to grips with a different desk and play out system? Do you have any upcoming OBs and anything else exciting planned for the show that you can exclusively share with Unofficialmills? 😀
