Ask TOTDS Anything!


Recommended Posts

Hi friends

"Er..."

1. Are you truly happy being "the one who doesn't speak!" - would you not at least like your name announced, and more active role in Scott's show where we can hear you?

2. Pls. try and ensure RAOK's come back. They never ruin my make-up: there is such a thing as waterproof mascara for emotional types, such as me!! lol

TOWDS, What's happened to the Angry Pizza Guy? Those calls were hilarious! Too much BBC bureaucracy?
We don't know where he is. He's gone! She really does need to carry on doing them though. It just cracks me up how bad she is.

Hello Emlyn!

Question 1: Formula 1 is very much an in thing at the moment, I expect Scott knows nothing about it! Any chance of getting a Lloyd figure in to teach him and if so can I be said figure. :D

Question 2: Is Geore off of the news coming back anytime soon?

Question 3: When / why was the decsision taken that you would not speak on the show?

Thanks :)

Ever thought about getting Posh Radio 4 Lady in one day live to do the news when she's not working with Radio 4? I think it'd be fun to have her in the studio and getting her involved Dominic Byrne style. She's clearly quite flexible with her talents!

one question: If I ask for a random act of Kindness on here, do I get one? everyone KNOWS I need it :P

I'm kidding obviously. One question though: a geeky radio one. As producer of Scotts show, how much satisfaction do you get from every single broadcast that goes out and just works?

Alright TOWDS! Loving this thread.

I was wondering, after the sucess of Napoleon, Scott and the horse and, er, Chappers snogging the goat, whether there were any plans to involve any more animals in the show, and if so which animal you would like?

*Unlikely. We need new pain!

*What sort?

*Nope!

*Any pain is good... Beccy and Chappers need to get hurt aswell!

*Chris Moyles sort (like the ones scott has while covering, but with a different tune... or like the Piece of Scott jingle)

*RRRUBBISH. They are awful.

*Can you use gunge on the show!

Ooh pick me! Pick me!

What's everyone's tipple. We know Scott loves a BIT of white wine. And we know Chappers is a Boddingtons fan. But what about Beccy and you? Are you fussy? Also how much is too much?

Also what will you be up to on your week off?

I don't think waterproof mascara is ever as good as the non waterproof stuff!

Maybelline waterproof is the exception to this rule! lol

I did 10 lengths of a swimming pool; was in the pool showers; was out in the pouring rain and washed my face, and Maybelline waterproof was still on my face!!! In fact, it's so waterproof you can hardly get it back off.

It also looks like a regular mascara as well: it's quite glam. I've got the ordinary Maybelline black stuff for non-emotional days!! :)

Ha ha!!! I notice TOTDS has never come back again!!! lol

Why can't the Scott Mills team take all their holidays together like the Chris Moyles team, I like listening to the team all together. Disappointing when Chappers is off for a week on his own then Scotts off on his own etc.

It must be difficult for Chappers and Scott as they have conflicting interests. Chappers took this week off for his son's birthday and Scott took his last holiday when he went to work with The Hoff.

    • I do like Cat Burns but it’s a good point about the many artists on future artists and other specialist shows. If they manage to launch the ‘Anthems’ like sister station hope they make changes to the stations playlist.
    • Some shows do play some songs from pre-2018 regularly. Mainly Matt & Mollie and Radio 1 Breakfast. Also don't forget the shortened Anne-Marie - Ciao Adios which gets played every 26 seconds. 😂
    • I hate reverse snobbery and I post this reluctantly as we shouldn't hold Jamie's background against him, but I do think many listeners will find it hard to identify with Jamie.  One of the things that made Jordan so popular was he sounded like the mate you go for a pint with who always has a great story to tell.
    • Absolutely - life would be dull if we all liked the same things  
    • Dean in for Greg on Tuesday.
    • While it maybe doesn't the power it once has (where being on the A-List was a big deal), It's a big part of the station and I felt probably deserves it's own thread. Have to be honest I haven't been hugely enamored with the playlist in recent times. Radio 1 seem quite heavily wedded to it in weekdays (at least Monday-Thursday) which can lead to the station being repetitive if you listen throughout the day. Even a station like Capital who are known for their limited playlist seem to throw in some older tracks and artists ever so often whereas if it's not Something Songs, 10 Minute Takeover or Anthems you often struggle to hear a song from before 2018. The repetitive nature has been a thing for a while though to be fair - I recall early 2021 in particular it felt like Tiesto's 'The Business' and Olivia Rodrigo's 'Drivers Licence' were played every other hour. Also certain Radio 1 favourites seem almost guaranteed a slot on the playlist even if they don't actually appear to be wildly popular with the target audience to justify it. I get it with your Dua Lipas, Calvin Harrises, Fred Agains  and Olivia Rodrigos as they're all very popular but less so if it's say Cat Burns, Aitch, Royal Blood or Mabel. Which is fine to an extent as Radio 1 has often focussed on promoting new music but then you have great music by other new artists that just never makes it to the playlist as a result.
    • Yep I really struggled with Matt & Jamie which was a shame as otherwise really like Matt. Unfortunately it comes across on-air whether it's actually try or not that Jamie doesn't know a lot about radio and doesn't seem particularly desperate to improve either or if I'm being generous he's playing an act - neither of which particularly appeals. The everyman act can sometimes work but you need to have that natural likability and appeal for it to do so in the way that way Chris Stark did. I mean even towards the end of his stint with Matt Jamie was struggling with getting the Whatsapp number right which is a basic.
    • Have to say even if there is a good reason for Jamie to be off on Thursdays the optics of them a month in still not be able to do a 'normal week' of the scheduled team for a brand new show isn't great. And if Jamie was meant to be away on Thursdays clearly nobody let whoever runs BBC Sounds know. Who would've guessed from the Vick & Jordan days though that it would be Vick who's the everpresent so far (just kidding Vick - really rate her as a DJ and I know she has a lot of other engagements outside of Radio 1).
    • Sorry explain what you mean there please? Danny is unlistenable?? 
    • I dunno if it is me but even Vick and Katie don't sound as good in that slot alone as they did before. Maybe I have just fallen out of love with it all.
    • Agree with most of this above. Listening to only vick and katie today, I was thinking that it doesn't need Jamie. Its very jarring how sometimes he's there and sometimes he isn't. I don't think it needs to be a trio. Surely there are bigger problems at the moment, Danny on a pretty big slot on the station is literally unlistenable.
    • Yes, the length of the time on the station does help as with Annie Mac she did what dance specialist DJs kind of get a bit more favourability with the evening listeners who start out on something specialist. With Annie Mac she did years on dance before going to the flagship new music specialist programme with giving opportunities to new DJs and curating the playlist and having something different from Clara’s more music daytime show where she had to work with the playlist. Had she done more time doing a specialist show later on in the schedule it may have oddly made the moment bigger. Think sometimes what has helped create such a unique sound in presenters and personalities like Annie Mac, Jack and Grimmy for example starting out doing a late show with looser format. Think for the next Jack, Annie and Clara’s of the station do need to have a late live slot and do hope when radio 1 relax is shut down that maybe they change the power down playlist for something with bit more freedom.
    • She is a good broadcaster no doubts but am of the same page with feelings mutual.
    • Clara was always a decent, competent and even good music radio presenter. But equally, she never provoked really strong emotions in me that I must listen or must switch off.
