I'm actually quite impressed with the amount of work that's gone into it and I think it works quite well....ok it's got an annoying jingle but it's a fun feature.

Scott is, and always has been, great when he stands in for Chris ! :D

What?! Have you even been listening to Radio 1 at all since Chris has been away?

Scott is such a chav and completely ruins the "DJ" title. He's awful and not even funny. He can't even do an intro without overlapping it and hitting the lyrics. I can't wait for Chris to get back!

Chris being away means we can listen to Greg James more though, and so far he has impressed me from what I've heard.

I've actually liked it this week. I thought is's been quite good. Okay it's not Chris and the team but then no-one else is really. In the traditional sense of being a radio DJ, Scott Mills is brilliant. What Chris does is radically different from how anyone has ever previously done the breakfast show which is part of his main appeal. No-one could emulate that and I wouldn't want them to try.

Not true Andy. Chris Evans did it, not as well admittedly but he did have a similar show to Chris.

Chris Evans was a jumped-up arse.

I'm not so sure - his radio 2 show is very good. He's another one of those people who lots of people seem to intensely dislike but I don't see why.

OK, he is better on R2, but then, he will have matured now, and learned for the past, I guess. When he was at R1, he thought he was bigger than the station, only to come down to Earth with a resounding bump.

Yeah that's true. Anyone would've thought he was proclaiming himself as some kind of saviour of Radio 1!

He was only like that towards the end of his time there. In the beginning he was hilarious.

Hmm true, I guess Evans WAS a bit like Chris, but as you rightly say Chris does it better.

Chris Evans was different. He always says that radio is his first and only real love, but I really think his style is best suited to television. Don't Forget Your Toothbrush and TFI were both must-see shows for me.

Oh god me too. I love him on radio and loved him on TV. Till he got out of control that is.

Oh come on, he did that once and it wasn't even his fault ! It's not as if he does it all the time, leave Scott alone :D

Once?? Yeah, alright... and the rest... he's pants.

You're right, I couldn't. But that's because I'm not a Radio 1 DJ; nor do I have years experience in being a DJ - where as Scott does!
Personally, he'd be better off working for local radio or Virgin.

He used to do a decent show, when he was on early breakfast. It's very much gone downhill since then though.

I used to like him on earlies too, he was much better before people started telling him how great he was.

Scott is rubbish compared to Chris and the team but I'm not allowed to argue with Tom

No he isn't. He could have been, but he took the wrong path, and is now so far down it it's too late to turn back.
