Vernon will be sitting in for Chris for 1 week from Monday 10th August. If Dave & co are with him is another matter

I guess it would have been Scott's job had he not been in Edinburgh. Early mornings wouldn't have been so great after three musicals the night before.

Vern is obviously impressing for them to ask him to do it again. Chris mentioned a few months ago he liked Vernon doing the show as it was still The Chris Moyles Show not the Scott Mills Show.

But then it seems to pose a problem for the rest of the team having holidays.

I think the die hard fans would rather have a week or two without the whole team than Vernon with the team and Moyles with a reduced team due to further holidays.

but Vernon does his shows on his own....why not do breakfast on his own???

People are used to the zoo format on breakfast as Scott involves everone as well as Chris

But then it seems to pose a problem for the rest of the team having holidays.

Its a bit like when Becky & Chappers take alternate holidays you just wait for normality to return

From the horses mouth (sorry Aled if you ever actually read these boards!):

Scott will be doing the 1st week of the show, Vernon will then being doing the 2nd week of the show during Chris' holiday in August.

Scott will be doing the musical in 2nd week and Vernon will be in Ibiza for the 1st week.

I wonder if the whole team will be around when Vernon does the show? It would be a little strange with just Vernon & Aled.

Don't the rest of the team (excpet Dave as he is freelance) get different holiday entitlemnet as they are BBC staff, previosuly when Chris has been off Dom has done the afternoon newsbeat and Carrie has done some stuff for 5 live and BBC London.

Yes. I was referring more to Dave.

As chris and dave are both freelance, who pays for vernon to cover the show when chris takes a day off (like on Monday). Does the BBC cover this, or does Chris arrange the cover and pay vernon that way?

I like vernon on breakfast, and am enjoying the way we are getting to hear him more. As much as I like scott his place is on afternoons - Vernon is definately the way forward for covering chris I think.

I'm lookin forward to both weeks, the first week will be funny hearin Chappers being extra grumpy in the mornings, and I think the second will be just as good with Vernon and Dave in. I'd assume Dom and Carrie will still be doing the news and sport in week 2?

Why? It's not like Dave has never done breakfast before...

I know that. What I meant was that that it will be interesting with just the 2 of them doing it. Moreso for comedic value.

Vernon and Dave are mates too and work well together.

Very true which I why I think it will be a good weeks radio

They were very funny together when I tuned in last time Vernon was on.

Definately. So long as its the Chris Moyles comedy dave and not the chapper & dave comedy dave. As they are 2 different DJs if that makes sense :confused:

Chappers is off next week too I think. SO no him being grumpy in the morning!

The other day they said it was just Vernon and Dave. Dom and Carrie said they were off too.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      The Summer on Radio 1 thing makes me wonder whether they might be doing something similar to last year again where they have a temporary schedule over the summer before introducing changes in September - maybe the new host won’t start until after the summer?

      Radio 1's Big Weekend 2024

      There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first.

      It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?

      Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also

      For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg.

      The eighth floor

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!

      How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it?

      By Bluestraw · Posted

      I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!

      A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.

      Rylan and Scott

      By xxladybarefootxx · Posted

      I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.
