I dont think we need to get too ahead of ourselves with the future of Moyles. I genuinely think he will be there for sometime to come.

I wonder if this is just a temporary thing and we've just not been told. Maybe Huw or Rob will be here day?

I'm not liking it. On the occasion that my hamster cage needed cleaning on a weekday (such as today) I'd stick Murray on. It's probibly because it's change and nobody adapts immidetly but as I said on twitter, I keep expecting "face in a bowl face in a bowl" The man has been scarred by switch.

I'm a big Grimmy fan, I think he's got a lot of potential and a big Radio 1 future. But this show seems like a big of a blag. He's just turning up and playing, essentially, future playlist records, rather than bringing anything new, different or challenging to the show. There only appears to be one feature, and even that's ripped off from Chris Moyles. It could be good, and maybe it will be in time, but at the moment it just sounds a bit lazy.

Maybe its because i fit the "children" target audience, being 16, but i enjoyed the show. I thaught he was pretty nervous as, like Colin said, he would probably get alot of stick on the text from die-hard Murry fans.

I think it will get better as he gets used to the format and features, and should be interesting to see what other features crop up in the other days.

I just think it's a good listen for that time of the night but there's not really any direction to it. How can you tell people to listen other than saying "It's got that Grimmy on it". It's daytime material mixed with old playlist songs mixed with a few new indie songs. Not surprised they can't find a place for his show on the website list yet! ;)

Chris is obviously bothered by the amount of non-DJs on Radio 1

Me too. I completely agree with it. The three best talents that Radio One have, for better or worse, are Moyles, Mills and James - all three are full-blooded radio people rather than TV people who decided that radio seemed a viable option (and it rarely is - hi Davina). It's sad, but Moyles is probably the last of the real radio personalities that we're gonna see on Radio One under the current regime, before management start reeling that personality in until it's null and voided and replaced by the psycho yuppies in the vomit state of youth occupied by Fearne and all the other Trashbat/Sugarape-styled Nathan Barleys on the station. Radio One is going to be a really sad place once Moyles, Mills and James are gone because, to be honest, they and Zane Lowe pretty much keep the place afloat.

Phew, that rant was a long time coming.

So anyway, hadn't heard of Grimshaw except for what I believe are him and Annie in some Switch videos which made me want to rip my penis out of my body and shove it down my throat until I choked. He seems a lot better here, but it's not my kind of radio so I'll probably avoid like the plague from here on in. Certainly isn't a Colin Murray... yet. But he has time and confidence to grow, so I'll re-evaluate in a few months.

I liked the show, but it's very different from Colin's, I guess I'll just have to tune into 6music for my fix of alternative from now on.

I still hope with time that Grimmy will stray further from the mainstream though.

btw I disagree with above poster, the three top talents are Moyles, Mills and Zane. Zane is pretty much a radio man though, so it doesn't take away from your point, but I thought I'd have my say :P

I totally agree with Mitchell's post. And I also think DC would echo that as well. He has quite famously before compared Radio 1's current crop of teeny personalities (Edith, F+R etc) and Hello Magazine Radio

1000 Albums Everyone Says You Should Listen To But We've Only Got Time To Play One Track So Here It Is...

Every day we play a track from a classic album. It should only take us five years to complete our list of 1000 albums that everyone says you should hear before you die!

Oh dear god, not another 5 years of this!!

To be honest... he isn't bad tonight. I take most things said back!

I really do hope you're right about Grimey [sic] being a filler. I honestly don't know what the Radio 1 bosses are thinking of; replacing Colin and his eclectic mix of old, brand new and sometimes pretty bloody strange (in a good way) music with this amateur and the usual playlist.

I am less than impressed.

Do I have to stay up half the night to hear anything interesting? Currently listening to Friction and Nihal, but need to go to bed soon....

      The BBC commissioning brief mentions it is a 'mid morning show' for Radio 1 Dance https://www.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/radio/documents/comm_brief_r1_dance_morning_show.pdf

      Nothing to apologise about, I was just intrigued on how DS and UM react

      I would be pretty confident that if they keep avoiding using James Cusack on that slot over the next few weeks, then it will probably be him that gets the show permanently!

      That’s two names who probably won’t be doing that slot permanently then.

      I stand guilty as charged as the DS poster.... It was I Okay, so yes Connor has good energy and does the show well, I take it back, however, my last experience of him he spent every other link saying "It's Connor Coates in for the ledge that is Charlie Hedges" and then he started saying "Clem Douglas" - again after critisising that I see she is styled as that sometimes The point I was trying to make was, yes we know it's Charlies show, we know she is a ledge, and we know she is not here today, no need to keep reminding us Regards R1 dance, I suspect Arielle is pointed at the drivetime slot to go against Mistajam unless we know it is breakfast that will be live ? Apologies to Connor and anyone offended by my comments, was just going on my past experience of Mr Coates, who seems to be a very competnt presenter

      Studio usage for new schedule

      By Lee E · Posted

      I know we have discussed this before, but can someone shed some light hoping @Lily Georgia can help Since the Wogan House closure, and 1-330 from Manchester, studio 82A (Mills) has been used by Scott's R2 show, in fact i note that him and Grandad Nelson are from there now days The question I have is with 1-330 coming from London again soon, who is getting a new studio? will Scott move to one of the newer ones down the corridor or will he remain in 82A and M&M get a new studio They cannot use 82D as that is used for drive, and currenlty 82A is in use by Scott from 2-4pm In the old days it used to be 82A for Greg, Scott, Annie and 82D Adele, RMC, Drive, Jack I note that Jack is in a brand new studio so maybe M&M will come from that one as well, maybe the same one as Vine uses?

      Producer Amy moving to Radio 1 Breakfast

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Very pleased for producer Amy - it's no coincidence many of the best shows in recent years have had her working on them. You can tell her & Helena are a great production duo and that the whole Matt & Mollie team are a really close-knit unit in general. Some lovely speeches by both Matt & Mollie too to end the show on Sunday.

      Echo what most have said here. Connor has great energy which is important for that sort of slot and the shame for him is that the dance line-up is so strong that there's no obvious 'in' for him to get a regular slot -Danny, Sarah, Pete Tong, Arielle, Charlie Hedges, Jerry and Charlie Tee are all great in their slots. A live show on Radio 1 Dance really feels the obvious way to get a proper foot in the door at Radio 1. Although to be fair to the DS critic I think it was just the one poster and can very much hear Connor in my head saying 'in for the legend that is Charlie Hedges'.

      I remember hearing Amy first on Scotts show and she was great on that, the daft quiz questions always made me smile. It's really nice to see the hard work has paid off for them all.
