Scott Mills-itus


Rob

Recommended Posts

Someone wrote into "Dear Scott" on this mornings show claiming they had Scott Mills-itus which they are just getting into TV programs that have been on for quite a while (Like Scott and Merlin). After hearing this message, I realized that I suffer from this condition myself. I'm just starting to discover the joys of Family Guy, Scrubs and The Mighty Boosh which I understand have been discovered by most people a while back. Do you suffer form this condition too?

I've got it, just started getting into Gavin & Stacy, Scrubs and Desperate Housewives, which surprisingly isn't that bad!

I watched the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special last night and thought it was quite good, might get into it.

Yep, i've got a mild case of it myself. I've asked for many cd's and dvd's that i hadn't listened to/watched for xmas, that i missed when they were big. Like mgmt's new (now quite old) album, and the bourne ulitmatum box set. And also just got into gavin and stacey.

I got MGMT's album a while back and it's ace. Track 5 (I think it's 5) is amarzin.

Is it too late to get into knight rider?

To be honest I haven't even got a clue what shows you're talking about. I haven't got tv and I wont' get it ;) Waste of time. I get my entertainment from DVDs once or twice a week.

anyone remember the mr blobby song? greg james played it on his wonder years on xmas eve. but i think 15 or so years is a bit too long to get back into it, i wouldn't anyway, i was terrified of him when i was a kid and still am.

and yeah mgmt's album is quite amazing, especially "kids". i also got "alive" by daft punk which is a recorded show of them doing a gig in paris. if you're into daft punk, i properly properly properly properly properly recommend it.

I can't remember much about Mr. Blobby, I would have only been 1 or 2. He was partnered with Noel Edmonds wasn't he?

I've never heard of Daft Punk but I'll look into them if you recomend them.

I usually start watching shows when they come out because that's when I'm most likely to get into them. There are always exceptions. But with British shows here, we usually get them much later than they show there. I started watching stuff like Primeval, Gavin and Stacey, Skins and Not Going Out when they started in the states, but you've had them on longer.

You've never heard of Daft Punk? Off of 'One More Time'? Oh my god lol. Kanye West used Daft Punk for his 'Stronger' record :)

I say "off of" quiet a bit thanks to Mr Mills, I got the strangest looks possible after saying "Ms McMaster off of school." the girlfriend thinks its stupid, I think its quite fun personally

Scott spells it off've I think.

I've started saying it alot as well but everyone I know knows what it's off because I make them all listen to Mills.

I say 'bley', 'amezzin'' and 'good mornin'' quite a lot, my non-Mills-fanatic friends probably don't have a clue what I'm on about... I refuse to say 'off of' though as it's horribly ungrammatical.

I tried to fight off've but I didn't last long!

The other day I answered the phone with "What's occuring" =/

    • 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.
