I'm going to use one of those red video covers off of the 90s that are made to look like book covers.

And aw, I love this Jack Penate record. I'm off to bed now. Will be back when I'm listening again!

Ima going to stop off at the shop and look at the top tips for today too if my mate hasn't bought it today.

You're rubbish Jono! Call yourself a stalker lol.

Goddamn BSOD again.

I think next week is radio 1 holiday week. With Vernon in for Chris, Sara in for Jo and Annie Mac in for Zane.

Plus the week after Greg's off.

Can't wait to hear Beccy's forte, should be funny.

'Can you actually drive, well you shouldn't be allowed' :heh: Good one Jenson!

Don't you hate it when someone's house alarm is going off and they don't turn it off? If I was asleep it would be annoying but since Ima awake it's even more annoying! *turns radio up*

Have I suddenly gone to Blackpool? That's where I heard this music last lol.

YEY It's onlyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyy Fridayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is rubbish when I think the next day off for me is Thursday. But Thursday is going to be a long and brilliant day! Driving all the way to Edinburgh and then seeing Fraser & Scott's shows! Seeing Chris Cox's on Friday :woo:

Haha TOWDS giggling in the background! I would never have a horrid pink phone yuk!

Yeppy it was eggsallent! :D

I loved Urban Bluff too. Was one of the great new features that was never on again.

Where did they find Just Jack? He's quite good.

2 IOBF's? What a great treat for us :D

Greg killed R1 with his hair straighteners? You sure it wasn't you Scott? :P

I guess one couldn't expect it to be the best stint on breakfast what with it being just one week and the musical next week, but I felt after Just For The Pun Of It there was something lacking. You had to rely on good banter to keep you listening.

I would have had Dear Scott at 7.20, Just For The Pun Of It at 7.50, Oh What's Occurring (it was missed!) at 8.15 and What's Beccy's Forté at 8.45.

I think for the summer holidays the show reached it's climax long before the half way point.

I guess they figured OWO without Chappers for 2 weeks would get stale so scrapped it. Bet next week it won't be on either since I doubt TOWDS will have time to do it. Think this is a conspiracy to scrap OWO? (UM conspiracy theory #458515740)

I quite enjoyed the show this week, the morning went really fast and I actually stayed awake through every show unlike some people :P

They should have had some Classifieds/Missed Connections on as well since they didn't have OWO to pad the music out a bit more.

We'll they were going to stop doing OWO ages ago when the all new Scott Mills show started... whether that was just a ploy or really we'll never know (another UM conspiracy?)

I ruddy loved Just Jacks song readaptations, really tempted to edit them into the whole song, but I know I'd end up playing the wrong one on the radio one day.

I wonder what time Scott was there, I walked through the red carpet bit after being shown around global and headed back to Radio 1. All the barriers were up and people were waiting behind them already, and this was only 4.30pm.

Looks pretty early on here -

    • 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?
    • 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?
    • 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.
