I thought it was London. Surely not all presenters travel to Wales just to do the show?

I noticed on Tuesday night he had a clip from Alexandra Burke talking Welsh. I had visions of him standing there after the show with a microphone asking her to record some jingle for the Chris Moyles Show. And then cheekily giving her a card with something about STIs on for The Surgery to read out. And then saying "oh yeah, one more thing, do this in Welsh for my other show!" ;)

That's EXACTLY what happened!

What does erectie mean? We can't work this out!

Sorry if you've covered this, but it'll take some concentration to get through 11 pages before replying to anything so I'll reply as I go along.

C2 is the zone ('eck' is Welsh for C, and 'die' is welsh for 2) like Switch and is the young zone for BBC Radio Cymru. Magi Dodd is the presenter for 8 - 10 then different presenters for 10 - 11, and 11 - 1.

He did mention bonus points with Moira Stewart in a lift on the first night I tuned in. Reminded me of the Hoff on Hoff Mania. And now he's on about a Brazillian!

I'm the show's showbiz correspondant from Wales on a Thursday night, and I have been for 7 years. Now that I'm hosting the show I needed someone to look for celebs and tell me who's where for me. I've asked this girl Elin to do this for me.

She was struggling.

He mentioned me twice tonight and I'm so paranoid he's slagging me off!

I wouldn't dream of if!

I wonder if Aled is in charge of the playlist?

Only of the English songs

EDIT: Is he broadcasting from Wales or London?

London till last night, on the way to Cardiff for tonight.

Pimp cant has to be something to do with the text number as he only mentions it during the reading of texts.

The text number or 'tecst' in Welsh (not proper use of word but I refuse to say a long Welsh word - or two in fact for "text") is 6 7 500. 5 is pimp, 100 is 'cant' so pimp-cant is 500

:shock: Aled wouldn't do that! would he?

No of course not! I saw Jono's message on Twitter so I gave him a shout out and I merely said he runs UnofficialMills.

hey aled if your reading this its bin a gr8 show cudnt understand most of it but it bin funny and cant believe scott and beccy can speak welsh lol :)

Thank you!

Hello Aled! Great show this week :D

Thank you.

Aw. She sounded good anyway. Just didn't quite know what the feature was.

Can we expect any R1 pals on the show tonight?

I'm dissapointed that you didn't mention my awesome language skills, Aled. :P Also, whats the welsh for 'Services' as in the motorway type? I thought i knew it (i know it starts with 'G' and ends in something like 'nathau') but can't remember the middle bit. ;)

Another one to add - "Canalog" Central, as in Cardiff Central train station.

Gonna listen to tonights show, been busy with my own show this week, but tonights my night off :D

I'm ashamed to say it Jono, but No. If I was honest, the launch of the tour has now meant we are working all out to get it together, and I was using my time after my working day to record a Radio 1 DJ. I'm travelling to Cardiff for tonight's last show (spot the technical difficulties with the desk tonight) so won't get a chance :(

That IS impressive.

We should have asked the lovely Huw Stephens for translations. He's taught me everything I know in Welsh, by way of his word of the day on Twitter. I'm almost fluent thanks to him now. Haha.

Why isn't he involved? You threatened by his fellow Welshness Aled?;)

I'm actually quite miffed I'm missing tonight's show. It's filled the void in the evening for most of the week. Hopefully Aled can keep us updated if Magi Dodd ever chooses to take a holiday in the future (she probably won't want to now...!)

So jealous I'm not listening. I hope June will be filling me in on innuendo possibilities.

I'm tuned in but I have a headache :cry:

The concentrating makes my brain ache ;)

Hubby is confused as to why I'm listening to a radio show in Welsh. Don't think I'll tell him I've been listening all week.

No. I'm sneakily foruming at work.

He played loads of Welsh songs in a row and your post made me think you were listening.

I feel a bit guilty I've tuned in for Aled everyday this week and missed two of Scott's shows.:confused:

I still prefer to think he's playing snog marry avoid rather than it being the entertainment news.

    • 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.     
    • 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
