:o She had a proper chat with Scott and PR4L! I knew our Kizmok had grabbed their attention but I wasn't aware she had a proper meet. Jelous jelous jelous.

Gah! If you're going to use this word so many times, it's 'jealous' Rob.

How lovely Kirsty that you got a chat with Joe, PR4L, Scott and promoted UM big time. You look pretty darn good, especially considering you must have been up at the crack of dawn.

Did you meet up with everyone in the pub afterwards? There are a few pics on Twitter of UM members and SMTM people. The 'Scottish meet'.:D

Eagerly awaiting the first installment of the musical...

Yes I'd advise not leaving under any circumstance as they forgot to mention you'd not even be able to stand at the back.

I must thank the lovely ortonangel for putting me up last night and producing an amarzin' map so I could get from hers to the train station. Also thank you to those who put up with me and got me drinks. Very cool to me you all.

Going to see the musical again tonight, Mr Kiz went to the bar as soon as we got in and they wouldn't let him back in! Apparently it's BBC regulations and all that...pfft...whatever! Anyway, Sam the internet guy has sorted it all for us and we're getting to go and see it all again tonight! Whoohoo, so relieved as you can imagine how gutted Mr Kiz was after gettingup at 5am, queuing for 4 hours to get tickets, queuing again to get front row seats and then not seeing the bley thing.

So glad you are able to see it again with Mr Kiz. Jealous much - maybe a wee bit... LOL

Think Mr Kiz is a Saint for putting up with your Mills obsession Kirsty. ;) Up at 5 am to not even see the show. Hope he enjoyed the other stuff you saw and likes the musical tomorrow.

Where was he on the video though?

My friend went out for the drinks with Mr Kiz and likewise was stuck outside a closed door during the entire performance while Kirsty & I, along with the fellow UMers sat in the front row wondering where they hell they were (& more importantly where our drinks were ;) kidding). However we managed to beg, grovel and plead for some tickets and the 4 of us went back again last night.

I have to say last night was even better if that is possible! All of Joe's family and friends were in the front row (we were in the 2nd row) and they were soooo loud. They started off a lot of the clapping along with a few of the songs and encouraged a standing ovation at the end! It was a totally different atmosphere.

We went down to the bar again afterwards and PR4L came over to us as soon as she came in to have a wee chat! She remembered us from the previous night (how cool??). She is sooooo lovely, I think we all wanted to adopt her! Kirsty & I got our picture taken with Chappers, who seemed a bit bemused that we would want his picture then another picture with Scott for me (posted on the pic's thread). We chatted with Joe again too, he is sooo sweet! They definitely lucked out getting him for that part, he is BRILLIANT! I really hope he goes far with his acting, he totally deserves it! No after parties for me last night tho as getting home to bed at 4:30am when I need to be up at 7am for work did not work out well for me yesterday morning!!

All in all, an absolutely brilliant show that 100% deserves its 5* reviews :D I can't wait to watch it all on the website again. I hope someone You Tubes it so that I can download it and keep it forever :)

Very jealous you go to go again, Jo. I was a bit concerned that it'd lose the novelty if I saw it again. I suppose I should have planned it a bit more so I stayed up a bit longer but it's difficult for students as we're all using the summer to work and it was quite a last minute decision to come up!

If they do it again you'll need to plan a full week off and come up for the whole lot ;) I was soooo excited about seeing it again, you definitely should have stayed longer and gone to all 3 shows. They made a couple of small changes last night too. During the "Susan" bit, Joe said last night that he was from the Forrest of Dean instead of Southampton, then during the Susan/Rob sketch Rob had the Zebra print pants on again instead of the Superman ones & the special guest last night was Denise Van Outen.

I thought they were going to be filming it every night but PR4L said they only filmed the Dress Rehearsal and the first night, so all of the stuff that is going on the website is the first night. They actually let people go to the toilet and come back again last night!!

I loved getting to meet all the "celebs" but it was really nice to meet everyone form UM too & to find out that people off of the internet can actually be quite normal :D ha ha.

    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
    • Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?
    • I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.
    • Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.
    • I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.
    • With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot. 
    • Conor Knight is in for Sam & Danni on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. It's Radio 1 at Parklife, 13.00-16.00 on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. Matt & Mollie are in for Greg from Monday 10th to Friday 14th June - it's just Matt on the Thursday. It's Radio 1 at Download, 13.00-16.00 on Friday 14th June.
