The bank holiday lineup looks great! I love it when they do that. Westwood is the only show I don't have much interest in.

David Hooper was good last time he was on Radio 1.

I was hoping that too! Dont think i'll be listening over the easter holidays. I get up everyday at 6.30 to listen to Moyles' and the team and fancy a nice break. I take it the guys are off during the easter holidays/school half terms?

Same here, Coxy's great, I used to hate her breakfast show but listening to her filling in for Whiley has shown how much she has improved since then.

Please Parf Daddy, do the right thing & have Coxy on after Moyles, permanently

No sign of Moyles taking a holiday,but then he cant til his channel 4 show finishes in 6 weeks time anyway.

Couldnt agree more. Like many others I used to hate her breakfast shows, but now I think she is great. Dont care whether she replaces Whiley or Bowman, but either way Sara Cox should be on a permanent daystime show.

On Digital Spy the general consensues is that Sara should be on days yet it hasnt happened. How can Edith possibly be considered a better listen that Sara Cox? Baffles me.

Has anyone else heard the scott mills show when they play 'Whats Occuring'? They had a great bit when coxy was on for Jo were they had to guess how many times Coxy mentioned food in a week and they put it all together, it went on for ages!!! Sure you can still hear it on Scotts page.

It's probably still management holding onto what happened with the rise & fall of her breakfast show, to be fair she did do better than Radio Gods, Mark & Lard, on that slot. I just think she was too much in that time slot for some (her voice did grate on me in the morning TBH, but she has mellowed a lot over the years). I don't think Chris would have done as well had the Breakfast Show been like the Afternoon show in 1999-2001, not that there was anything wrong with it mind (it was at it's peak between 1999-2001) but the current show is more welcoming to all that the afternoon show (which listen back to them if they were doing that in today's environment then the Mail readers would have all been having heart attacks!)

I agree, I've only listened to a couple of afternoon shows (thanks to you lovely people on here! :D ) and it seems a lot more 'laddish' the lack of female input is very noticable to me. Maybe its also because you now have Dom the family man and Dave is now married (again) with a daughter, they've all mellowed a little.

I'd be well happy to have Coxy assume Whileys position, or Bowmans for that matter. In fact, get rid of Bowman, put in Cox. Get rid of Whiley, put in, say, Frank Skinner. Or Jeremy Clarkson. Can't see it appealing to everybody, but it emphasises my point that I don't like Bowman and Whiley. Keep Scott though, he's funny.

Frank Skinner has just started a show on Absolute radio, I'll have to give that a listen.

Also, I've only just discovered 5live. Richard Bacon's show makes especially good late-night radio.

Anyone seen the bus stop posters Chris was talking about this morning? I'd seen them but hadn't realized they were of Sara!

Yummy mummy indeed!

I knew there was a term I preferred to MILF...

Yeah, the blurry image that Aled posted a few hours back on Twitter. It was either Sara Cox or an X. I'm not really sure. It looked like he was sat on a washing machine on the spin cycle when he took it.

I didn't hear that link, but was he on about the Million Model thing or whatever it is? There is something similar to that with a woman who looks like Sara Cox anyway.

I had to pop out in the work's van today and I had the radio, it was quite a pleasant surprise to hear Coxy. As I've said before, I have no problem with Jo Whiley but Coxy is just more fun and more likely to put you in a good mood. I never liked Coxy when she did the breakfast show, now I think she's great.

It is a radio travesty that Sara Cox doesnt have a weekday show on Radio 1. I would take her ahead of either Whiley or Bowman, but Edith has to be the first to go. Her show is just dead air. At least Whiley has a strcutured show with plenty of features.

As far as personality goes, Sara is in a different league to the pair of them.

I know, she replaced Mark & Lard as well, MARK & LARD! Two of perhaps the most bizarre but brilliant broadcasters to ever grace Radio 1's airwaves, unfairly shoved out as they were "too old". Bloody men in suits :x
