He's doing Mills' show on his own, how random! It just shows that it's not hard to get your own Radio 1 show when you can get elevated from reading sport news to presenting your own show.

Still, its not random. Chappers is a good choice.

Im suprised they didn't get a more experienced DJ in, considering its the 2nd most popular slot on Radio 1, although he is doing alright.

I thought he was quite good when Dave was in New York and Chappers covered Spoony's show. My argument was why bother employing Sara Cox or Spoony to do it when Chappers is capable of doing it. It's not that hard when it's all highlights of the year.

He's there all of the time. So i'd rather him than Spoony. He knows the general run of Scotts show.

I'm looking forward to the day Dom gets his own 5 Live show...


It's bound to happen... one day... maybe!

it could Richard Evans (ex radio 1 newsreader) presents a weekend show. Not a bad listen either.

hes ok Richard Evans actually. Mayo is good on five live too and I hated him on radio 1.

Chappers is one of the funnier people on Radio 1. much better than spooney.

sad as it is, I miss Zoe Ball and Richard Evans.

and Simon Mayo was excellent on R1. Listen to him on 5 live quite a bit as well. Phill Williams (Moyles' mate) is the best on 5 live though (well since Richard Bacon left)

Colin Murray is on 5 live this Saturday between 9am and 11am, another reason not to get up early on Saturday

replacing Eamonn Holmes? Eamonn was quite good on that show but I haven't got up on a satdee morning for ages.

I just think it's really random how you can go from sport news reader to covering the drive time slot. He made a good job of it though, although not sure how he would have faired if they weren't playing all the show highlights.

he is just covering for Eamon Holmes, so you only have to put up with him for one week, although I don'tknow why they chose Murray, someone who is just full of themselve, and only cares about his opinion, but I will probably listen to see how crap he is.

I saw him on Channel 5's american sports coverage the other day. Does he always do that, or was I just drunk at the time?

Like he is on Radio 1, minus the Scottish. Personally i dont like his show on Radio 1, And i doubt i would like his 5Live one either. But i guess he is liked by some people becuase he is still on.
