This is sad new for the show. I honestly dont know if the current drive time show can survive. I dont like Beccy and Scott on their own and dont usally listen, chappers is the one who really brings the best out of scott on this show. As said, it would be like Dave leaving Moyles show - it would just loose something that cant be replaced.

Too soon for a schedule shake up again, and so unless the show takes a drastic change in style and direction they would be looking at a replacement I hope, and in usual style they will be slowly introduced i imagine. Im assuming it doesnt neccessaily have to be the sports presenter.

I would be expecting David Guerredo to cover Carrie though surely?

Totally agree, really don't know how the show can survive without Chappers, he brings the best out of Scott and Becky. When it's just Scott and Becky it's very bland. If I was Scott Id be doing everything I could to keep Chappers. Going by Scotts recent Twitter post that someone will quit in Thursday it would appear that we won't know to Thursday for definate who's going, I think it would be a disgrace if Chappers leaves in Thursday witout as much as a days notice. I really really hope this is a setup and Chappers dosent go or else that'll be the end of the road for the show for me. Chappers must stay, even if it's part time

Isn't there a girl called Alison who used to do sport sometimes? I'd have thought a female would be better candidates for replacing Carrie.

Alison Mitchell. I think she'd be too tied up with 5Live stuff to do a whole 6 months or so of cover.

Either Tamasin Ford or Tamsyn Kent (I can't remember which one,) does sport on the big Newsbeats on occasion if they are strapped for cover, so they could be options if they're looking for a female replacement.

Greg Dawson has been known to also. He however happens to be male.

:yeahthat:

but i'm pretty sure it will be chopstick. Has anyone else noticed how he is getting more like he doesn't care if he gets sacked, and that he's there for a laugh. I think this was most apparent during the phonecall yesterday where he urged a girl to play truant, even after scott said not to.?

    • The shows surely being driven for him so all he has to do is talk between the tracks and he can’t get even get that right 
    • I thought the same to that comment, the license fee is going on me babes 
    • What with Jamie Laing, now him. Is it time for a new Head of the station?
    • He also just said coming up we have brand new segment, I thought they were a band 🤣 how did this man get on Radio 1? Aled needs his head testing. It’s an insult people who deserve to be on the radio 
    • Of all the times not mention capital it's probably now? Jordan is flying on breakfast with chris & sian and there's a presenter on friday and saturday that doesn't know who a main r1 artist, tldp are. Mentions capital which surely has to be a big no no given recent events and then says the licence fee goes to me. Talk about vom. We can't have it on here no more as it's that unlistenable and I'm about to switch back for m&m, but this is a Maya Jama x50 level mess of a show. Forget fading the microphone down, the entire show needs fading down
    • As positives go, at least Danny said what the last song played was and upcoming song played was. Plus I guess in that link are perhaps ideas for content (asking listeners to come up with bands from things around them, things that have happened to them this week). That's where's the positives end. It comes across as no thought has gone into what Danny will say next. It gives me proper flashbacks to some Jamie Laing links (especially that one show where he was unexpectedly solo). It's ironic that for all the duos and trios on the station - the one show and DJ that is positively crying out for another DJ to help show them the ropes is left all solo. At least with Jamie Laing they learnt their lesson and he's not been left solo since.
    • How he was just faded out at the end of the link reminded me of the Oscars music fading you out 
    • RPReplay_Final1713612277.mp4   You’re welcome
    • At a time when Radio 1 has surely lost listeners to Capital at Breaktast you’d be trying to protect the station so people switch back.  Certainly yesterday I didn’t switch back to Radio 1 at all.
    • Was abysmal…Surely Danny can’t be a contender for anything permanent when the new schedules are locked in I.e Matt and Mollies slot 
    • Alexandra Burke creating the phrase 'Elephant In The Room' whooooooooo
    • Zane Versus.... Whooooooooo. Do You Do Fridays? WhooOOOooo.  
    • The Capital Breakfast show is right up my street so far - such a fun listen. You've both been great on Radio 1 and are sounding excellent again on Capital A few quickfire questions: You've both been part of some great pairings on radio and on podcast - what goes into making a duo or trio work and sound great on air? Also, Chris - were there ever any discussions about you moving over to Radio 2 with Scott or had the Global offer already come first? Also how do you both go about managing that split between your radio 'you' and the private 'you'? You share a lot on air but also there's some understandably some stuff you keep private (famously Jordan doesn't 'talk about those things'). And how do you make sure if you're having a miserable day or are a bit low that it doesn't come across too much on air?    
    • What a nightmare link at 11.15am this morning. Spent 30 seconds waffling about the name of The Last Dinner Party as if he’d never heard it before, then started mentioning Capital and the license fee, and how it’s been used to pay for him to be there, and was then cut off by the start of the next song.
    • Have been reading this all week. She's such a brave woman. Just got to the chapter where she explains why she missed Scott's leaving event at Radio 1. She talks about leaving Radio 1 because her mum's health got worse, and wanting to quietly leave radio at 44 just how she first arrived on the airwaves at 18. Worth a read!
