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.....

I remember one time on Moyles them talking about Dave being in a panic at the desk at the end of a song and Moyles' was out having a fag.

Well he would be if he wasn't supposed to be doing it.

Heard Dave this morning, he done really well. I think he had someone else operation desk from how it looked on webcam?

You're right, Grimmy's producer Phil drove the desk for Dave this morning.

Ah well, Greg's got a week off after sitting in for Scott on Monday and Tuesday and early breakfast for the other three days. He can see his girlfriend then ;)

I'd have been tempted to give Annie Mac the call today.

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

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.

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:

      Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter.

      Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?

      Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.

      Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!

      R1 to R2 transfers

      I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days

      Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.

      With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.

      Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Lee E · Posted

      Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday.

      As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
