These trails reminds me of the INMWT cinema adverts they played constantly at the Big Weekend. It's always weird to reflect on the year, you kinda forget what Radio 1 has done.

Orson - there's a blast from the past! It's a bit quiet on the ol'Your Views these days isn't it? Sad times...

I got their album in tesco for £2 the other week, but I've still not got around to listening to it. Anyone here actually own it and want to enlighten me as to whether it'll be a waste of time?

I enjoyed it - I thought it was good a good pop album - if you mean their first album.

Cash in my pocket? Shame he didn't go with Cash in the Attic. That'd have kept the money coming in with the royalties if it made the theme tune.

Afternoon all.

Afternoon June. How's your part of the world treating you?

The closest I could get on Google was a Squirrel on the pocket of a t-shirt.

Scott's reading his script again

I'd never make a double act with Chappers, he never has a clue what to say to the references that come off here. We're just too avant-garde.

Slightly OT, but Jono, what did you choose as your module for January?

Well it was either contemporary politics, American studies or philosophy for me. Economics didn't suit.

I decided I'd already be doing a bit of politics on my course, and philosophy and the talk of God didn't excite me. So I went for American studies. It's about stuff like the culture, racism, sexism, etc. Seemed to like the idea :)

Wow, I didn't expect him to speak like that. I thought he'd have a pretty low voice. Maybe Scott should take the angle of doing "whatever they want" at gigs.

Bit of a strange interview this, one could ask what is the point of it.

I guess it's just to get him in to the studio like for Oh, What's Occurring like with Dirk Benedict.

They should have asked about him being rumoured to do Celebrity Big Brother.

    • I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right! 
    • Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!
    • Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.
    • If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.
    • The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!
    • What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.
    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • 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.
