They all struggled. Almost everyone struggled. Kylie got the wrong camera, James couldn't reel off certain lines and then disappeared for half the show, and Matt seemed off his face. The two guys weren't "crazy" or as out of control as Fearne The Hyperbole Cotton was bluffing on about, and weren't even funny - the Craig David jokes were too easy, the sex jokes were lazy, and everything else was pull-back-and-reveal, the oldest trick in the comedy book. Worse still, the comedy had no fall back because the audience mics were horrendous so we couldn't hear any laughter. So to the viewer, it just came off like they were bombing. They may well have been, but we'll never know as we couldn't even hear pins drop due to the sound set-up.

And speaking, of, I counted at least three "Audio Muted" moments that apparently were due to swearing. Couldn't even put it in a 10 second delay and bleep it. It was tacked on like a 17 year old TV student might do.

The only thing that saved it was Kylie's first dress. I really wanted to stick my penis in her at that point. The feeling faded at around Dress #4.

Performance-wise, U2 were disappointing. Girls Aloud had some moments of being out of tune. Chris Martin's voice was leaving him come the end of the first verse. Kings of Leon were horrendously dull and bland, but sounded great (which doesn't save it for me - if things aren't blown up, I don't care about your live show). Take That mimed, which took points away. Duffy sounded fine but was covered in half-darkness by a wayward torch hanging off the ceiling by a rope in a breeze. Ting Tings impressed me, and Estelle impressed me... but separately. Doing their own stuff, they sounded great. But that segue with Ting Ting music backing Estelle's vocal was brutal. And the Pet Shop Boys saved the show by being pretty damn good. What a shame that they ended the set and the show immediately just went to the credits. No goodbyes, no warning, just over in an instant. Anti-climax, you wouldn't believe.

And that set...

      Summer on Radio 1

      By ianwilk1999 · Posted

      Yeah they make the weekend shifts go so much quicker. Like today, the piece about Matt falling asleep in the cafe was funny, it's clear to see why they're going to weekdays. It could well be they were thinking of Danny for it and like you say have decided against that, or like I said at the start it's James Cusack and the slow down on the announcement is him getting out of his contract. Remember he works for radio 1's main rivals. I think it's quite telling that he's doing more r1 cover than usual, tomorrow and then a further 3 weekend shows in a row

      I suspect they’re gonna tie the announcement into something, or they’ve changed plans. I know we’ve said it as a joke but I wonder if Aled was planning on giving it to someone like Danny Beard, but he’s decided against that after the last few weeks. Seems clear to me, though, that if Jordan hadn’t left, then Katie would’ve taken Dean and Vicky’s slot and Matt and Mollie would’ve stayed on weekends, which probably explains why they haven’t picked a replacement yet. If it was going to be the obvious choice, I.e. James Cusack, surely they would’ve announced it by now..?

      Yep think they mentioned that this is their penultimate weekend of shows but then they will also be on air during Big Weekend and they mentioned they'll be doing 'Party Anthems' on stage during Big Weekend which sounds intriguing. Will miss Matt & Mollie on weekends - they in particular have made that Friday afternoon slot their own - but they'll be great on weekdays. Do wonder if 'Summer on Radio 1' is just a placeholder name until they decide on who will cover the interim. While it's obviously not the case it does feel like they've forgotten there's that weekend afternoon slot to fill given no permenant presenter has been announced for it yet.

      And Arielle mentioned in her Instagram post that her final early breakfast show is the 27th of June - the Thursday before Glastonbury

      When Matt covered breakfast on 22nd April, he said their new show was starting in 10 weeks, so that’d be the 1st July.

      Would love for it to be like the Summer Friday Thing that me and @DC were remisincing about recently. Lots of events going on that could easily form part of it.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/summer/cardiff/thursday/1.shtml

      I'm guessing there is also a stack of weekend events like Glastonbury

      I think more likely it'll just be a temp presenter for weekends 1-4 to give Matt & Mollie time off, plus time to plan and pilot the new show.

      Yeah I don’t think they’ll be anything that drastic - maybe a week or 2 of cover on early breakfast etc, but maybe just having that weekend afternoon slot covered over the summer means they can put someone on from September who maybe isn’t available until then?

      I wouldn't be surprised if they do this around June time: 05.00 Ore Olukoga 07.00 Greg James 10.30 RMC 14.00 VKJ  That'll probably happen (for my guess) from the 17th June. And for weekends: 07:00 Sam & Danni 11:00 Gregor Davidson 15:00 Charlie Hedges Maybe Fridays aswell: 07:00 Greg James 11:00 Gregor Davidson 14:30 Jack Saunders
