Forget Scott, Aled’s Q&A with Unofficial Mills is at the top of my list! whoooooooo?!

Scott & Vernon are both showing right up to Christmas Eve, but then so is Owain and the press release said Steffan Powell will be on early breakfast on Christmas Eve/Boxing Day. I'd assume Gary Davies is in for Vernon for a few weeks from Boxing Day at least. OJ is listed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day overnights still which i can't see being the case. He usually covers for Sara Cox over the Christmas period, but obviously that's Spoony's job this time around    

Good to see Mylo and Rosie on 'breakfast', plus Emil who is always great when he pops up (he must be one of the next in line of regular cover presenters to get a permanent slot) Intrigued that there is no sign of any new presenters on daytime slots over Christmas.. although hopefully that's the end of the same old pre mixed Anthems slots. If the new Christmas presenter intake is still happening, what form will it take?

27th December 6am - Chillout Anthems 7am - Weekend Breakfast with Joel Mitchell 10am - Group Chat with Nat and Minah 1pm - Dan Draper 4pm - Dance Anthems with Connor Coates Coates  28th December  6am - Chillout Anthems 7am - Weekend Breakfast with Joel Mitchell 10am - Group Chat with Nat and Minah 1pm - Dan Draper 4pm - Life Hacks/Chart First Look with Lauren and Shanequa 29th/30th December 6am - Mylo and Rosie 10am - Ore and Swarzy 2pm - Emil and Lauren R 31st December 6am - Mylo and Rosie 10am - Ore and Swarzy 2pm - Party Starters with Emil and Lauren L 6pm - Party Starters with James Cusack 10pm - Party Starters with Connor Coates 1st January 6am - Mylo and Rosie 10am - Ore and Lauren L 2pm - Emil and Lauren R 6pm - BBC Sound Of 2026 8pm - Jade at BBC Proms 9pm - Powerdown Playlist with Sian Eleri 2nd January 6am - Mylo and Rosie 10am - Nat and Vicky 2pm - Sam and Danni (with chart at 4) 6pm - Jaguar 8pm - Martha   guessing the Xmas takeover is just for the specialist shows this year then. Also no R1 Anthems appearing at all, even in the normal slots. 

In the style of Greg James' "rogue promises" can you think of any Scott has yet to complete? I remember he wanted Obama on Innuendo Bingo!

Just to add its Mark Goodier covering Breakfast and Spoony Covering Drive Crimbo Limbo week but no mention of who is covering the other shows yet.

I mostly listen to Capital but can tune around after Breakfast. Sometimes I end up on Radio 2 and as a 48 year old who still likes newer music, I can still find Radio 2 a bit "old" for me.  No disrespect to Ken but he is of an age where everybody seems younger than him... I haven't listened to so much of Radio 1 since Jordan left (Dance Party Starters being one of the few shows I regularly listen to and sometimes Going Home when no Jamie) but I actually find it a bit of a tough listen when working.  The fact nearly every show has 2 or 3 presenters makes them all sound very similar when sometimes I just want music with links and a lot of the content sounds the same.
