We'll miss you loads Chappers it won't be the same without you and the sarcasm. As well as the jibes about Scotts Mum.

I'll hugely miss your sports bulletins during the shows and also your shows with Dave. They were always funny and I made sure I tuned into everyone since I started listening.

Have fun on ESPN and whatever else you end up doing.

Good luck and I wish you all the best!

Lots of love Steph xxx

Chappers your contributions to Radio 1 over the years have been absolutely hilarious. Your presence on Coxy's shows, Scott's show and of course with Chappers and Dave has made the respected shows ten times better than they would have been without you. I'll really miss listening to your sport updates and chemistry with Scott, but look forward to you cropping up on my tele more and more often.

You're an excellent sports broadcaster, and being a wannabe sports broadcaster myself your style is one I greatly admire and it would be fair to say you have been an influence on me wanting to get in to the profession. Best of luck. The Stig (Christian)

Chappers you will be missed by everyone, your contribution to Scott's show has been tremendous over the years, will miss your dry wit & put-downs on Scott and Beccy.

when the time is right everyone has to move on, so best of luck with all your future endeavors :)

I've only been listening to Radio 1 for a little over a year now, but the very first Scott Mills show I heard was a Scott/Chappers duo show (Beccy was away with a big head at the time). It was their chemistry that got me listening. Well, that and the fact we're both real sarcastic and grumpy...

I'll stay with Scott even with Chappers gone, but it won't quite be the same. I'll especially miss the prank call wars between Chappers and Beccy and the hilarious moments that ensued (Camp Steve from Computer Support, etc.) Chappers, you'll be sorely missed.

See ya later you miserable b*stard. ;)

Aww, i'm actually a little gutted that you're leaving, I first started listening to Radio 1 just as Scott, Laura and Yourself started the afternoon show. Used to love you and dave on the weekend shows too. Gonna be missed - Who's gonna be grumpy on Radio 1 now?!

Good luck :)

Mike.

Shame, Such a shame.

Bye bye chappers, The radio will never be the same without the grumpiness you brought to the world, so cherished and loved by many, and detested by the ignorant. but we don't care about them because... well... they're ignorant! Lots of Luck to you sir, and I dunno... may the force be with you? aww crap I'm useless at these xD

Cya chops, and good luck =]

Farewell Chappers, you grumpy so and so. Your sarcastic presence, Scott baiting and secret love for 'Geek World' will be very much missed. You have made us all laugh a great deal over the years.

Wishing you all the very best with your future projects. Hope you fulfil your dream of becoming a dancer. Strictly next year?:D

    • It's a bizarre thing though....it would be nice to hear a few more tracks from the past 10 years mixed into daytime. However, at the other extreme, I find it odd how often really old tracks come up on Anthems and even the likes of Soundsystem Party and Dance Anthems.   The odd throwback is great but sometimes it feels too much.
    • I do like Cat Burns but it’s a good point about the many artists on future artists and other specialist shows. If they manage to launch the ‘Anthems’ like sister station hope they make changes to the stations playlist.
    • Some shows do play some songs from pre-2018 regularly. Mainly Matt & Mollie and Radio 1 Breakfast. Also don't forget the shortened Anne-Marie - Ciao Adios which gets played every 26 seconds. 😂
    • I hate reverse snobbery and I post this reluctantly as we shouldn't hold Jamie's background against him, but I do think many listeners will find it hard to identify with Jamie.  One of the things that made Jordan so popular was he sounded like the mate you go for a pint with who always has a great story to tell.
    • Absolutely - life would be dull if we all liked the same things  
    • Dean in for Greg on Tuesday.
    • While it maybe doesn't the power it once has (where being on the A-List was a big deal), It's a big part of the station and I felt probably deserves it's own thread. Have to be honest I haven't been hugely enamored with the playlist in recent times. Radio 1 seem quite heavily wedded to it in weekdays (at least Monday-Thursday) which can lead to the station being repetitive if you listen throughout the day. Even a station like Capital who are known for their limited playlist seem to throw in some older tracks and artists ever so often whereas if it's not Something Songs, 10 Minute Takeover or Anthems you often struggle to hear a song from before 2018. The repetitive nature has been a thing for a while though to be fair - I recall early 2021 in particular it felt like Tiesto's 'The Business' and Olivia Rodrigo's 'Drivers Licence' were played every other hour. Also certain Radio 1 favourites seem almost guaranteed a slot on the playlist even if they don't actually appear to be wildly popular with the target audience to justify it. I get it with your Dua Lipas, Calvin Harrises, Fred Agains  and Olivia Rodrigos as they're all very popular but less so if it's say Cat Burns, Aitch, Royal Blood or Mabel. Which is fine to an extent as Radio 1 has often focussed on promoting new music but then you have great music by other new artists that just never makes it to the playlist as a result.
    • Yep I really struggled with Matt & Jamie which was a shame as otherwise really like Matt. Unfortunately it comes across on-air whether it's actually try or not that Jamie doesn't know a lot about radio and doesn't seem particularly desperate to improve either or if I'm being generous he's playing an act - neither of which particularly appeals. The everyman act can sometimes work but you need to have that natural likability and appeal for it to do so in the way that way Chris Stark did. I mean even towards the end of his stint with Matt Jamie was struggling with getting the Whatsapp number right which is a basic.
    • Have to say even if there is a good reason for Jamie to be off on Thursdays the optics of them a month in still not be able to do a 'normal week' of the scheduled team for a brand new show isn't great. And if Jamie was meant to be away on Thursdays clearly nobody let whoever runs BBC Sounds know. Who would've guessed from the Vick & Jordan days though that it would be Vick who's the everpresent so far (just kidding Vick - really rate her as a DJ and I know she has a lot of other engagements outside of Radio 1).
    • Sorry explain what you mean there please? Danny is unlistenable?? 
    • I dunno if it is me but even Vick and Katie don't sound as good in that slot alone as they did before. Maybe I have just fallen out of love with it all.
    • Agree with most of this above. Listening to only vick and katie today, I was thinking that it doesn't need Jamie. Its very jarring how sometimes he's there and sometimes he isn't. I don't think it needs to be a trio. Surely there are bigger problems at the moment, Danny on a pretty big slot on the station is literally unlistenable.
    • Yes, the length of the time on the station does help as with Annie Mac she did what dance specialist DJs kind of get a bit more favourability with the evening listeners who start out on something specialist. With Annie Mac she did years on dance before going to the flagship new music specialist programme with giving opportunities to new DJs and curating the playlist and having something different from Clara’s more music daytime show where she had to work with the playlist. Had she done more time doing a specialist show later on in the schedule it may have oddly made the moment bigger. Think sometimes what has helped create such a unique sound in presenters and personalities like Annie Mac, Jack and Grimmy for example starting out doing a late show with looser format. Think for the next Jack, Annie and Clara’s of the station do need to have a late live slot and do hope when radio 1 relax is shut down that maybe they change the power down playlist for something with bit more freedom.
    • She is a good broadcaster no doubts but am of the same page with feelings mutual.
