Just seen on the Digiguide listings that Vernon Kay will be doing breakfast the week beginning monday august 13 while Chris is on holiday.Scott is at the Edinburgh Festival that week so can't do it. Also Trevor Nelson is sitting in for Fearne Cotton all that week as part of Radio One extras 10th anniversary celebrations and Gemma Cairney is doing the Surgery on sunday august 12 while Aleds away.
No idea what's happened to Sara Cox that week but she will be sitting in for janice Long on radio 2 next week and the week after

I wish Sara could sit in one week, I always think she does a great job and keeping in spirit with the show.

I hope that once it is announced on the show that Vernon is filling in that listeners will want to text him fake names when he is filling in.
I don't listen to him on weekends but may have to go back and hear how wound up he got from all the fake names.

Sara is always great when on Radio 1.

This made up name thing is funny enough at the moment, but there is no way it will still going on by the time Vernon covers on the show.

I was just hoping it would start again when he is on. Whoever fills in, I doubt there will be as much talk as there is now since the rest of the team will also be on holiday (oops, I almost wrote vacation)

Vernons never done breakfast without at least one member of the team being with him so I'm assuming Dave will be sacrificing a week of his holiday to do it with him.He gets a really long holiday at the end of september anyway so it doesn't really matter! Remember last year Sara and Dave went up to Edinburgh to take part in Scotts Fun and Filth Cabaret (and set a table on fire)so maybe Vernon and Dave wil do the same this year

I forgot about that! :D That would be fun. I find it hard to stick with a replacement all week if they are having very short periods of talking and more playing music. With Scott Mills there is his daily podcast but with someone else, I am more likely to miss it because I didn't want to keep stopping and starting the iPlayer when playing the previous night's show (because of the time difference here I listen when I wake up - about 4-5 hours after the show has already ended).

What about the week he was replaced by Tulisa, perhaps this would 'make up' for that? Not that I'll be listening I find Vernon unlistenable (and unwatchable on TV).

Well Dave was meant to be back at work on the 2nd week of the rest of the teams holidays in april,because he started a week earlier then the rest of them, but because Scott was doing the show he effectively had 3 weeks off, so maybe he's only entitled to one week off in august

Aled has confirmed in AA that the whole team are having both weeks off. So no Dave.

Dave is freelance. He is 'entitled' to 52 weeks holiday per year, if thats what he wants to do.

That's a mighty baseless assumption - and a wrong one.

He gets his holidays whenever he wants to book them them, he isn't employed by the BBC.

You're off form today chris.

I wish they were off for the next two weeks so all the Olympic crap wouldn't need to be covered. Today was only day one and I already had to switch off parts of the show. Less #GoTeamGb, more #No-oneCares.

I've booked the Family annual pilgrimage to Torrevieja (Spain) for while tCMS show are away, minimise any loss over this 'end period'.

I'm just glad Moyles is still around for the Olympics, cos like them or not they're a pretty big deal and its good that he can help create the nation's soundtrack to that just before he's off. Great way to bow out.

Red button commentary womens volleyball yes please, tough job someones gotta do it.

None of the team will be around though, could that be why?
