Dave was sitting in for Nick Grimshaw this morning in which is sure to be one of the first time he's presented a show on his own. Greg said he will be presenting the show tomorrow morning if Grimmy isn't any better by then.

Wow, didnt realise Dave was on. I hope its on the IPlayer!

Didnt think Dave could drive the desk nowadays ( i know he used to be a tech op) so would be interesting....

EDIT - Just listening to his first few links from today and it sounds good, he went into DJ mode in a few places :D

I listened back to it and it sounded as if he has done it himself because he flowed with it very well etc....and when he stopped talking you heard him move the fader up but as i said before i dident think he did control desks normally.....

You'd think Greg would be getting quite sick of it by now, they work him like a dog :(
I listened to the first half of the show on iplayer, and he did say he got the phone call and was like, here we go again... He sounds like he wants to get back to his own show!!

Greg appears to be by far the most enthusiastic DJ, he'll enjoy filling in but anyone would be becoming tired by now. He will be impressing the bosses though, despite the sheer quantity of shows he's been doing recently his standard hasn't dropped.

Im glad they rung Greg instead. I dont mind Annie but she gets abit annoying after a while......

I prefer Greg too, I was just thinking of other alternatives if they wanted to give Greg a break.

Oh yeah, I completely agree, and he'll take on everything he can manage because he wants to impress and he's enjoying it. He's still very much the new boy, every extra show he takes on, the more people hear him.

I hope he keeps going and eventually kicks out Jo Whiley! Daytimes would be slightly more interesting then.......If they also got someone else in for Edith that would make the whole of radio 1 listenable in the daytime.

Could you imagine Greg doing the water game with everyone in the live lounge? Would be most amusing :giggle:

    • The shows surely being driven for him so all he has to do is talk between the tracks and he can’t get even get that right 
    • I thought the same to that comment, the license fee is going on me babes 
    • What with Jamie Laing, now him. Is it time for a new Head of the station?
    • He also just said coming up we have brand new segment, I thought they were a band 🤣 how did this man get on Radio 1? Aled needs his head testing. It’s an insult people who deserve to be on the radio 
    • Of all the times not mention capital it's probably now? Jordan is flying on breakfast with chris & sian and there's a presenter on friday and saturday that doesn't know who a main r1 artist, tldp are. Mentions capital which surely has to be a big no no given recent events and then says the licence fee goes to me. Talk about vom. We can't have it on here no more as it's that unlistenable and I'm about to switch back for m&m, but this is a Maya Jama x50 level mess of a show. Forget fading the microphone down, the entire show needs fading down
    • As positives go, at least Danny said what the last song played was and upcoming song played was. Plus I guess in that link are perhaps ideas for content (asking listeners to come up with bands from things around them, things that have happened to them this week). That's where's the positives end. It comes across as no thought has gone into what Danny will say next. It gives me proper flashbacks to some Jamie Laing links (especially that one show where he was unexpectedly solo). It's ironic that for all the duos and trios on the station - the one show and DJ that is positively crying out for another DJ to help show them the ropes is left all solo. At least with Jamie Laing they learnt their lesson and he's not been left solo since.
    • How he was just faded out at the end of the link reminded me of the Oscars music fading you out 
    • RPReplay_Final1713612277.mp4   You’re welcome
    • At a time when Radio 1 has surely lost listeners to Capital at Breaktast you’d be trying to protect the station so people switch back.  Certainly yesterday I didn’t switch back to Radio 1 at all.
    • Was abysmal…Surely Danny can’t be a contender for anything permanent when the new schedules are locked in I.e Matt and Mollies slot 
    • Alexandra Burke creating the phrase 'Elephant In The Room' whooooooooo
    • Zane Versus.... Whooooooooo. Do You Do Fridays? WhooOOOooo.  
    • The Capital Breakfast show is right up my street so far - such a fun listen. You've both been great on Radio 1 and are sounding excellent again on Capital A few quickfire questions: You've both been part of some great pairings on radio and on podcast - what goes into making a duo or trio work and sound great on air? Also, Chris - were there ever any discussions about you moving over to Radio 2 with Scott or had the Global offer already come first? Also how do you both go about managing that split between your radio 'you' and the private 'you'? You share a lot on air but also there's some understandably some stuff you keep private (famously Jordan doesn't 'talk about those things'). And how do you make sure if you're having a miserable day or are a bit low that it doesn't come across too much on air?    
    • What a nightmare link at 11.15am this morning. Spent 30 seconds waffling about the name of The Last Dinner Party as if he’d never heard it before, then started mentioning Capital and the license fee, and how it’s been used to pay for him to be there, and was then cut off by the start of the next song.
    • Have been reading this all week. She's such a brave woman. Just got to the chapter where she explains why she missed Scott's leaving event at Radio 1. She talks about leaving Radio 1 because her mum's health got worse, and wanting to quietly leave radio at 44 just how she first arrived on the airwaves at 18. Worth a read!
