3rd August!! Great. So, the Record of The Week will be done nice & early. This means I can pounce on it, and run it into the ground.

Yeah I don't know about anyone else but when I hear Scott's on breakfast I instantly think of the Record of the Week and how I'll be able to rip it to shreds nine hours earlier than normal.

The show should be a repeat of the morning one when Scott is covering breakfast - Greg James doesn't have the evening drive charisma, and his 'features' are embarrassing to listen to! I understand radio 1 is trying to cater to a younger audience, but ages in the single digits surely are not the target demographic. I mean - 'flash flash' - come ON. And what is with the obsession with Jo Whiley ??

Plus, I am convinced he makes his callers up - for example - if he was to ask people to phone or text in with the 'strangest' place they have ever fallen asleep, you can almost be certain a 'caller' will inform him that they fell asleep in the engine of a 747 jet at heathrow and didnt wake up until they got to JFK.

Shove it in I guess as quickly as you possibly can ;)

Nah I don't think he makes callers up but people will phone in with the weirdest stories just to get on the radio.

I like Greg but his morning show is much better than when he covers for Scott unless he's been deprived of sleep. I like a sleep deprived Greg, he's so random. Flash Flash! :D

Someone is not a Greg lover clearly. At the end of the day Greg & Scotts shows are completely different. Plus its a different audience to the early breakfast to appeal to. You have to remember that Flash Flash is just a bit of fun to ligthen the mood so to speak. Plus does'nt Scott have an obsession with Coxy and food much like Greg has with Jo (minus food)

The flash flash works at 4am when its only truckies and insomiacs listening, its just a way for the truckies to feel a little less lonely, if you see someone else doing it in the distance on a long stretch of motorway its got to bring a smile to your face.

The thing is, when hes covering fro Scott he literally brings his 4am show to 4pm, and trys to adapt it as little as possible, this doesn't always work, but it works well enough.

When he's moved to the 1-4pm slot he'll have the chance to adapt his show properly to daytimes over time, instead of getting a week to test the water before being taken back to the darkness of early mornings.

Oh and in regards to the phonecalls... there are a lot of nutters out there who actually have the oddest stories to tell, they'll use any medium to tell their wacky stories ;-)

Does anyone have any idea what happened to tonight's Newsbeat?

Newsbeats suffering from technical difficulties upstairs, i imagine lines going down, computers and servers crashing. The 5.45 bulletin was just a short 3min format, but when Greg handed over to Sam - instead of headlines she mentioned newsbeat are suffering from technical problems, and therefore cant bring the normal programme. Maybe the facebook/twitter hack has got into the Radio 1 computers! :D

No Entertainment news either then. Im going to tune in at 10.00 tonight to see if it is fixed, or hear Pete Tong hand over to a bulletin that doesn't exist.

I would imagine it will be fixed by then or Grimmy will start his show earlier. Was funny when Colin had to do that as Newsbeat broke once. They played the Newsbeat bed and noone started talking until Colin realised and started his show.

That happened once on one of Coxy's pre-records as well.

In all my years of listening to Radio 1 I had no idea there was a Newsbeat bulletin at 10pm.

You learn something new everyday...
