Gregs Friday afternoon show was amazing. I'm all for Greg.. but as much as I like Fearne Cotton... I prefer Jo Whiley...and I never thought I'd ever say that.

Another year extension for Jo please, BBCR1... just til I get out of the job I'm in then you can put whoever you want wherever you want. I won't care. haha.

Where has the Flash Flash song gone? the bumhole. It best make a reappearance... pronto.

Couple of changes to the show today. Greg seems to have dropped the Peter Dickson voiceovers into Newsbeat. And, unless I'm mistaken, his favourite thing of the day seems to have gone too. Dunno if he mentioned it. He's starting to settle in now, and the show's finding its feet. It's not like anything else on Radio 1, it's quite topical and random. I like it.

I think Peter would have only been for the first week really, just something special.

He's back on again this week. I guess they record them on Monday afternoons.

I think the favourite thing was a bit tedious on the blog because it meant the quality was lowered of posts.

Good to hear Neil behind the microphone today, Greg's even interrupting the news a bit today which is good to hear. A lot less 'stiff' this week - awful word though!

I don't like the Peter Dickson things. They're really irritating and trying too hard to be random. Greg is sounding good though. Only thing is, I dunno why he pre-records so much. All the interviews with the 'experts' (sport, gaming etc) are on tape, as are the calls from listeners. It takes some of the spontaneity away.

Was last weeks gaming expert a pre-record? And which calls from listeners?

Yeah I think Sim Wise is pre-recorded as she said she was listening on her Twitter.

And the callers - the ones he records straight after coming off-air. I think it makes sense to record spontaneous calls due to the time the show is broadcast.

I had a feeling he meant the callers after the show. If anything thats more fun as Gre said its just a general chat so they could end be just as funny a live calls

I was listening earlier and it seems that Greg and the team might be starting to develop a zoo sort of format for the show apart from Producer Neil chipping in occasionally, Freya who works on the show had a full conversation with a caller earlier.

Any thoughts about this? I think its quiet a good idea but i know some people don't want another zoo format like Moyles and Mills.

I'm really really enjoying Gregs show in the afternoon. He's taken it into his own and done exactly what he needed to.

The main thing i've found with the show is how it grabs you from nowhere. We have it on in the office most days and on several occasions recently, we've all suddenly just tuned into what he's saying and ended up turing the radio up. The battle Westwood feature being a perfect example.

Hope it continues!

Fearne Cotten however is awful. Can't stand her, really really annoying. Even more than Jo Whiley and I didn't expect to ever be saying that!

      I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right!

      Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!

      Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.

      If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.

      The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!

      What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.

      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.

      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.
