Backstage Exclusive at The National Television Awards

On: ITV2

Date: Wednesday 29th October 2008

Time: 22:00 to 23:00 (1 hour long)

Sara Cox and Scott Mills present all the action from backstage at the National Television Awards, as the nation's favourite TV personalities prepare to party in style. Sara and Scott give their inimitable take on the night's events, plus exclusive interviews with the night's winners and special guests.

Sara and Scott will be an interesting mix. It's probably one of Scott's first actual prime time presenting roles too ;)

I suppose he's going because he's expecting something for the Hollyoaks/The Bill appearances. Lifetime achievement award perhaps?

It's not exactly prime time, it's a bit like hosting the xtra factor. I suppose it's a slight improvement on upstaged, that was on at 11 wasn't it?

And the Xtra Factor isn't prime time to you? :confused: These shows are both getting coverage on ITV1 with the whole "switch over now to see extra..." so I think it's very different to Upstaged.

Doesn't Xtra Factor get like around 1 million viewers a week? That's huge for satellite channels (saying that, X Factor's figures in general are insane this year).

I think Scott and Coxy will be great, my two favourite presenters so I'm biased, they'll obviously work together very well.

What on earth is that blue suit and tie about? He looks like a wacky secondary school teacher. He just needs geeky glasses. I can't decide whether it's alright or not, but I don't think the orange skins works very well with the blue.

I love the tiny group of men camping it up for The Saturdays, but the gang by the bar are far more entertaining; they couldn't actually care less.

Yeah, I assumed they'd introduce them from the same room too. Perhaps that bit was pre-recorded judging by the way it faded out.

Shame really, Scott and Sara are doing some great presenting, but it seems a poor live show and very rushed. There's certainly legs for Scott to do something like this again.

who thinks scott may have a little hung over tomorrow?

Looks like it'll be Alcoholics Anonymous from 1pm tomorrow as Fearne looked a bit too jolly tonight too ;)

Shocking there was no award for Scott's performances in The Bill or Hollyoaks :D

    • 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.
    • Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?
    • I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.
    • Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.
    • I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.
    • With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot. 
    • Conor Knight is in for Sam & Danni on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. It's Radio 1 at Parklife, 13.00-16.00 on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. Matt & Mollie are in for Greg from Monday 10th to Friday 14th June - it's just Matt on the Thursday. It's Radio 1 at Download, 13.00-16.00 on Friday 14th June.
    • Rajar looking healthy this quarter, with the numbers staying fairly stable. 
    • It's made it into the Daily Mail as another reason to bash the station. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13417631/bbc-radio-2-facebook-tiktok-instagram.html  
    • I expect that the axing of Chill Out Anthems may be related to the decommissioning and shutfdown of Radio 1 Relax. I assume soon BBC could announce or make official when it’s going to be shutdown
    • The next RAJAR will be putting a lot of pressure on Aled. Will his decisions over Danny Beard and Jamie Laing and to lose Jordan North pay off? If not, it is likely bosses will be looking for his successor.  I am interested to know what fans of the station think?  Ian Chaloner who worked for Greg, Scott and Grimny before rising through the ranks must stand a chance. He is now mainstream editor.  An outsider choice but Greg's former producer Chris Sawyer would be great. He has the creativity and has held the ship well on breakfast. Although I know he is no longer with them.
