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....

      Dean and Vicky - what happened?

      By lochnessa · Posted

      Dare I say they've sounded great this past week?  Very much gelling.  Maybe less pressure?  Seem to be having a genuinely good time and not forcing things.

      I'm in the minority in my workplace, most of them love country music.  Me, the American, does not care for it.  That said, I haven't haaaaaated some of the country adjacent stuff that's been on the R1 playlist.

      It is funny because everyone thought Matt was on the way out, now he's been described as the heir to Mills.

      Still Scott for me. I'm not too much into the 70s and 80s radio 2 play but do love the injection of 90s and 00s. Then Radio 2 push for all this country stuff and it not a UK thing, and I frankly don't like it. Scott's show as in features, hit and miss. I like the music police bit, but it feels like someone needs to join him. It's a shame Chappers is so busy with sports, as it feels like it could do with someone like him jumping on to help. Or a new partner. Radio 1, take or leave. Matt and Mollie are OK from what I've heard and share a good connection, but it's the playlist that throws me off. They could bring back Chris Moyles to do that show, but as soon as something like Headie One comes on with that casino keyboard produced crap. It would still be switched off from me.

      Reading through this thread, I don't feel quite so alone now, in thinking that Scott Mills on R2 is not a good 'fit' (even less so than on R5).  I can't quite explain why this is so - I just know it to be so.

      The brought to tiers feature was also very good from them. I did wonder which DJ's were going to get picked out of the hat, that could have gone one way or the other and the caller said they were very opinionated lol. Correct decision putting katie in god tier!

      The extended Dua Lipa track from M&M was very funny. I'm hoping Matt and Mollie and Scott have a good relationship a bit like Greg and Zoe collaborate on-air sometimes.

      Scott v Matt and Mollie

      By xxladybarefootxx · Posted

      When Scott and Chris announced their departure from R1, I remember there was lots of speculation about who would take over the 1pm slot. Matt and Mollie were talked about a lot on here, and at the time I really didn't rate them as a replacement. A few years on, I see that I was totally wrong. They are such a good pairing, and it's the same kind of duo as Scott and Chris, in that they are real life friends, who spend time together in their real lives, which really does come across on air. True friends having a laugh together, and everyone is invited is how it feels to me now. I never thought about it before, but I agree with @coffeeandgin that Mollie is the Scott of the duo - pop obsessed and maybe a litte ditsy, but so funny, and in need of someone to anchor to or bounce off.  It seems that Matt is the kind of Chris of the duo then in that comparison, the one with the ideas, but also needs another person to make the magic happen. I know I'm outside of the R1 demographic, and maybe Dean and Vicky were meant to be younger and fresher, but I'm sure in my younger years I would have preferred to listen to two people who had a genuine connection and could really make each other laugh, as well as have the listeners laugh along. That was the Scott and Chris factor for me, and I think the only pair that come close to that now are Matt and Mollie.
