How can you work mon-fri 10-12.45 but not 10-1 on a sunday

She obviously doesn't spend enough time with her family in the week so needs the weekend off. She should be kicked off the weekend slot too, gah i hate pre-recorded shows. Okay if you have an appointment of commitment once but every week? Come on!

Bring back Chappers & Dave!!!

I wonder if because Andy Parfitt isn't around she has taken the p*ss abit and pre-recorded the show.....

If you only has 1 show to do a week and she has to pre-record it, she shouldent be on daytime. If she wants to pre-record it, put her at midnight.

I'm sure Chappers/Dave, Greg, etc would love to do a show live and earn extra money.

Chappers and Dave both have to do five shows a week. It's okay if they choose to have free weekends...that's understandable. In principle I understand everyone who want's to have free weekends, but if it's just one three-hour show you have to do every week you could really do it live.

Is it me or have they stopped doing news on Sunday's? I've not listened much so could be wrong.

Last time I heard the news it was just three minutes of silence because they couldn't cope with a pre-record. It might be wise for them not to bother if it's going to mess up but I am not sure whether they are allowed to do so.

Yeah, they have to do it otherwise they would break format and get another load of sh*t from Ofcom and probably every BBC hater....I think they probably do more than they have to at the moment but they have to do it during peak/daytime hours.

I dont think they have to do it during colins show, but do.

They do it after Colin's show. They have the main 5.45pm bulletin, 6.30 Entertainment then the next bulletin is at 10:00pm.

Amazing to think that a month ago, people were calling for Sara to be made a god. Now she's having time off, she should be sacked.

Don't give me crap about it being 'one show a week that she can't even come in for'. I don't care. She's one of the best DJs on the station and I'm sure will be back properly soon.

It is a bit remarkable. However, I do feel bosses should give her a slot where she can do a live show. It's nowhere near as entertaining when she is slick like during the Lie In.

    • 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.
