Edith will be returning to her regular slot from Monday November 3rd (13:00 - 16:00)

[Viv]

Great stuff. Although I've enjoyed her doing the lie-in, I must say. :shock:

[DC]

i think i'm going to explode with excitement.

[E*F*4L]

good news

[Rob]

Yay, finally things are starting to go back to the way they were. Just waiting for Jo to return now.

[Mike]

I'm quite enjoying things as they are at the moment. Sara on Jo's show is really good and i've even grown to like Fearne Cotton in the afternoon!

I like Fearne but in moderate doses, I find she is a little over-peppy. I'd rather have Nihal on, or at least have Fearne and Nihal rotate. I know Nihal has been worked to death recently but I think he is a seriously skilled DJ being able to appeal to both the mainstream and his specialist audience and I'd like to see mroe of him.

[Jono]

Nihal has his own weekday Asian Network show. It'll mess their plans up.

Why on the schedule on the R1 pages has Jo's show been replaced by Sara Cox's name, when Edith's show still has her name up with people covering in small letters underneath? I dont understand.

I think it will be interesting to have Edith back on daytimes, I hope she comes back with a burst of energy and tries to make her show different to before.

Maybe Jo's not coming back *crosses fingers*

One would assume the whole "Sara Cox in for Jo Whiley" heading on Jo's pages would say otherwise.

When are radio 1 going to sort out the DJ pages, they still have Greg James saying he's on Mon-Thurs

[augusta92]

I know its really petty, but things like the wrong listings really irritate me. Surely it would only take 5 minutes for 1 person to check and update them on a weekly basis?

[augusta92]

Its interesting to see that Edith is back doing Tv work, ie presenting the Electric proms and some James Bond premiere before she returns full time to Radio!

[Viv]

I'm really going to miss Edith doing the lie-in. She was very good at it, although Chappers & Dave will be good too.

[Mike]

She was crap on it, She kept on going on about which film all the songs were from which ruined it for me really.

"Blah blah blah... from the film blah..."

"Shush woman, i am severly hungover and you're irritating"

Her voice has started to annoy me aswell, and i have a feeling that when she goes back to daytimes next week, She's gonna do a Coxy and not shut up about the little one.

Fearne has really suprised me whilst covering for edith, i really enjoy her shows at the moment.

I take it you won't be voting for her in my poll then.

Oddly enough, I get that same feeling. Don't do it, Edith.

[Mike]

No

I enjoyed Edith on the lie-in, I thought she suited it better than daytime.

All of Edith's cover were great - Nihal really used the summer to shine through with his devotion to Radio 1, and Fearne has become strangely likeable in the past month or two. It's weird how once these double acts get split up they become a great listen (Nick Grimshaw and Fearne).

She would be good at the weekend, just not on the lie in.

I'm glad i'm not the only one who thinks that lol, I think Radio 1 is starting to sound really good. Sara is sounding good on mornings too.

[augusta92]

I like it when Sara talks about her family, it makes her human..more like a mate you are listening to...than a total stranger.

at the moment, on the radio shes sounding genuinely excited about meeting James Bond,

So I wouldnt mind if Edith did mention her son or boyfriend or family. But I doubt if she will, she seems to seperate her private and professional life into seperate compartments.

[Mike]

I didnt mean she shouldn't mention him at all, And i agree with what you say on the most part.

[Ant L]

I've really grown to listening to Fearne and Sara since they've been covering. Was never a huge fan before, but I actually enjoy listening to them more than i do Jo and Edith.

[Robbie Keane]

I'm not a Fearne Cotton fan, but Sara is a real darkhorse for radio presenting - creeps up on you and catches you by surprise with her talents. Radio One's answer to Lauren Laverne (if not vice versa).

As for Edith, I don't like her show at all. But then I'm usually listening to Moyles on Listen Again around the time of her show, so it's no loss.

[unclesirbobbyrobson]

I quite enjoy her doing the afternoon weekday slot. I never listen at that time:evil:
