I'm a bit confused . Please could u tell me who is doing Breakfast this week and next week and who is doing the 4pm - 7pm show this week and next week.

Scott is on Breakfast this week, Greg is covering.

Vernon is on Breakfast next week and Scott will be on his own show.

You'd presume it will be Dom and Carrie when Vernon is on, if not I'd presume Tulip will carry on doing the breakfast show and Chris Smith will do Scott's show?

According to Tulip on the oddbox it will be her doing the news for Vern. Probably be the new recruit Sam Naz doing Scotts.

I thought Georgina was going to be making more appearances after doing the Entertainment News for Grimmy who was in for Jo. I guess it's the holiday season they're going to want some relief staff. I think it's good that she was there all week. I'd rather have one presenter than a different person every day.

Yes, I wonder where this Sam Naz has popped up from? I didn't think she was as good as Chris last week.

She got off to a sahkey start but by Friday she seemed to have found her feet. Wther or not bein teased by Greg threw her remains to be seen

I don't know how Chris does it, but when he talks about any old mundane stuff, it's still entertaining- I listened to Vernon this morning and it sounded a bit flat. I wanted to give him a chance, but it was kinda boring.

Maybe it's because you've stuck two people in the room that don't know each other and aren't usually paid to present like that (Andy May and Tulip). But I agree the spark is missing which is perhaps why I prefer Scott's style to Vernon's because he doesn't try to replicate it. I notice Comedy Dave tried to tell the story about Jane buying him a box for medication about four or five times. I know Chris talks over Dave but as much as I love Vernon I was shouting at my radio "let him talk!"

    • They seem to be using James more for cover now makes me think it will be him getting weekends eitjer breakfast or 1 till 4 
    • 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.
    • Ore Olukoga is in for Arielle on Tuesday 14th May. James Cusack is in for Danny Beard on Saturday 1st June. James Cusack is in for Nat on Sunday 2nd June.
    • 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. 
    • 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? 
    • 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.
    • He must be in his element. At Eurovision and a Gold award!
    • 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.     
    • So pleased for Scott on his best entertainment show win. As much as I miss his R1 style, he clearly puts so much into his shows, well deserved and it’s a big two fingers up to all the abuse he has had since joining R2
    • There are a lot that share your sentiments. People have made comparisons to the different takes to Ukraine. 
    • It's a big 'No' from me (Israel-Palestine). No further comments.
    • A joke about pirates: ‘but we’re not jumping ship, like someone else’
    • I felt it was much better with the staging and everything.  I still cannot warm to his voice but he's a very good performer. Ireland was everything though.
