Capital Summertime Ball 2024

[DarkAngelMJH]

I take it Fearne had done one by then?

[Party Roy]

Did anyone notice Greg introduced 12:45 newsbeat. Is this another new format?

Nah, I reckon it was one off for his new show.

[Nik B.]

I would of been stuck in bed all day, had it not been for miss Cotton making it even more unbareable. I mean, it sounds like it's aimed at people who are at school and unable to listen, whoever made that decision should be sacked.

[Chippy]

Well I didn't catch Fearne's show but Greg sounded good.

I say Unofficial Greg!

[Jono]

Hahahaha. I loved Moyles' handover.

"How was your weekend?"

"Very good. I did the last chart show 15 hours ago"

"Oh nice of you to make it. How long did you last on the chart show?"

"Two years"

"And how many did you make? Is it true it was only 11? More holidays than Father Christmas!"

"Holidays?! I was working!"

"TV work? Stop being so greedy and give us a chance of TV work"

Seriously though. Natalie Jamieson sounded so awkward talking to Fearne. Whatever this Top 5 news stories feature is, it's awful. Why drag out the entertainment news into a ten minute feature when Fearne has no clue what she's talking about? The top story was Strictly and X Factor and Fearne had seen neither.

Spot the mistake.....

[Jono]

Press control and F5 - Fearne has always shown up in the right place on my computer (tragically!)

[James R]

Spot the next 1

[Hammer]

The last Fearne and Reggie show was only yesterday, give them a chance to change it

[DC]

we pay our license fee and they are being this slack!!!11[/dailymail]

Does that include this:

[E*F*4L]

thought Fearne was ok, just the same show as Jo's really with no major changes, Fearne needs to stop going off on weird & rambling chatter though, she has always been the same & thats just the way she is.

i would go maybe 4 out of 5 (5 is Jo).

[KingTutsWWH]

I feel I've already been rude enough about this 'show' elsewhere on the internet. So have nothing more to say on the subject really.

Gave up an hour and fifty minutes of my life for this today (fortunately I went to the supermarket in the meantime); shall be looking elsewhere tomorrow though. Bye bye R1 between 10 and 1.

:shock:

really! what have you said ?

the show i felt didn't seem any different to when Fearne was just covering for Jo, as i said above Fearne does go off on weird ramblings, but that's just the way she always has been.

i still maintain that Edith or Lauren Laverne would have been better suited to take over Jo's show & Fearne (& maybe Reggie) to take over Edith's with some of the movie element watered down.

well radio 1 have lost me from 10am. The sad thing is that I turned over, found something I really liked and by the time I realised it was half 3 and had missed Gregs shows. I can see this happening for a lot of people!

Fearne really needed something big and new to keep me listening! And it didnt happen! At that time of the day I want an informative show with some light hearted banter! Not Fearnes patronising manner, stupid giggling, and complete disregard for the lives of us people who have to listen. Her attempt at Entertainment news was still even more pathetic! And what was the sniggering about the Mr Hudson song for - totally not needed and made her sound ridiculous!

Can you guess I didnt like it! Wont be listening again!

There are very few people who could have carried this slot. There are so many great female DJs out there who would have jumped at this chance.....

[E*F*4L]

you think its bad now, wait till Moyles & Mills leave !

[me_54m]

Holly Willerby is my best friend

[Jono]

I don't doubt the production values of the show, it's still Jo's team and they seem to be keeping things going. I just guess as a long-term Jo fan it was disappointing to witness all of her features still going basically without Jo, and to hear a presenter that just doesn't connect to a lot of her audience (I'm basing this on people I've spoken to on Twitter and Facebook that are my age). Unfortunately this angers me so you can expect a bit of a grudge from me for the time being.

I agree that it doesnt just seem to be us not liking it. A friend send me a chat meesage on Facebook simply saying Fearne is crap...!

[Joe Boy]

I don't mind Fearne, and although she's no Jo I haven't minded the show so far though. But I just heard the Moyles handover this morning on the iPlayer. How awkward! Moyles was on top form and made some really quick one liners. But they seemed to go straight over Fearne's head, because she just ignored them and moved on really quickly. Generally she's been OK, but I worry for Radio 1 if every slot is filled with people like her in a few years time. It's really losing its edge.

[Viv]

That's what worries me. That said, I did switch on briefly to her show yesterday morning, and did enjoy what I heard. Well done.

[Electrobix]

I've had a brief listen and it's passable. It's not the worst thing I've ever heard (Nihal), but it's not remarkable, exciting, interesting and doesn't compel me to listen again. So they've replaced entertaining Jo with average Fearne. But hey, at least she really knows how to connect with the kids... Good work Parfitt.

[E*F*4L]

she needs to stop going off on random ramblings.

[Jono]

Favourite quote today was "my heart literally jumped out of my chest". I bet it did :/

I notice she's not really interactive at all. Unless it's about a song she doesn't seem to bother with texts or e-mails - that's what it lacks as well - Jo used to talk about what listeners were up to. It might as well be voice tracked apart from the New Music Generator.

Well, she did read out a message from her auntie on Facebook. She's got Robbie tickets apparently...

[Tom.]

It's not the worst thing I've ever heard,

True. I have heard a fire alarm go off. and a cat being run over.

But hey, at least she really knows how to connect with the kids... Good work Parfitt.

She is on while they are at school and she really doesn't connect with me.
