Capital Summertime Ball 2024

[Jessica Lares]

I dislike this song with a passion now, I have it on a Grammy nominations CD, it gets played on all those light rock stations, all the mainstream ones, and it's been years since it came out.

Hardly hear it these days. Bloody fed up of the New Found Glory version my sister always plays though.

Why are the shows (Nihal and Annie Mac) not available on the iPlayer?

Ooh Modest Mouse? My girlfriend's favourite band.

[Hugh.]

*gasp*

The Anfield Rap! I must request it!

[KingTutsWWH]

Haha! Dennis 'write the song, sing the theme toon' Waterman. This show is just getting better and better!

[Jono]

Haha! Terry 'write the song, sing the theme toon' Waterman. This show is just getting better and better!

Surely it is Dennis Waterman!

[KingTutsWWH]

Surely it is Dennis Waterman!

'Tis true. His character in Minder is called Terry though, hence the confusion.

[Mike]

This 10 hour takeover is wicked. No idea what this is on at the moment, It's not that bad though...

[JonathanEx]

I just cracked up with that link just there

Why are the shows (Nihal and Annie Mac) not available on the iPlayer?

Probably because they don't have the rights to all the songs they're playing?

Like family guy theme tunes and random songs - they might not be allowed to put them on because of copyright issues. Like how Family Guy and some programmes aren't allowed on iPlayer

[JonathanEx]

Might be. But there's some blanket deal with the record industry and the Beeb, so pfft, who knows. Could be some technicalities with that. Likely reason though.

Oh, don't worry actually, on iPlayer they're marked as "Coming Soon" rather than "Not Available".

I don't believe that. Presenters are always playing random theme tunes during shows. I reckon it's a technical cock-up.

S Club 7 - nice!

[EllieForPresident]

I had my photo taken with the singer from Ash, then my phone broke :(

They wrote this when they were like 15. Makes me feel untalented.

[JonathanEx]

Haven't heard this song for AGES! Ahh, fantastic.

I love the Ten Hour Takeover - I wish they did them more than once a year. Obviously, too much would wear it out, but it'd make for a fantastic thing on a few Bank Holidays, maybe alternating with the 'evening DJs in daytime' thing they like to do.

Yes that was enjoyable too. Hopefully they'll come up with another great idea too and they'll have some great holiday ideas.

[Jessica Lares]

I think it'd be funny if the texts stopped working, it'd be a mess!

[DarkAngelMJH]

Haha I am totally loving Colin's show. Can't say I've ever heard this on radio before

[Jono]

It's a role reversal today.

BBC Radio 1 are playing Rolf Harris and BBC Radio Norfolk are playing the latest Killers' track :|

[Hugh.]

This song really needs to be played more on Radio 1!

Hansen! This actually used to be my favourite ever song.. When I was about 7-8 it was the only song I ever played on tape

[DarkAngelMJH]

Ima currently dancing on my seat, looks good with my Slipknot hoodie on! Luckily no-one knows what ima listening to!

[EllieForPresident]

Should've worn your Hansen hoody and danced to Slipknot

[Jono]

Boom! Shake! Shake! Shake The Room!

Reminds me of Laura's Diary. The earlier years

:yeahthat: I agree completely. I have really enjoyed listening to Radio 1 today.

[JonathanEx]

I like how he's doing these phone call bits with a few people requesting it, but not saying what until it starts.

[DarkAngelMJH]

A hansen hoodie? They were popular enoguh to make these? :*

I sang along to Will Smith, got some looks from work people too! :giggle:

God this past show has been so amazing!

They turn its slightly local radioish. I would rather he took calls live

I am really enjoying the takeover, they should do it on bank holidays as well.
