*sighs*

The month of May is upon us.

Colin leaves at the end of May correct?

I'm going to download a few of these before he goes. BTW I may edit the music out & add some of these to Moyles and Mark & Lard archive, dependent on what the links are like

Huzzah!

Got last weeks so far, is he only on Monday's-Thursday's?

[bradcali]

Colin was meant to be leaving on thursday may 28 BUT hes doing Simon Mayos show on radio 5 live again that week,so it could be as early as the week after next that he does his last show.no wait im tlaking crap.its the week after next he does Simons show

I'll get as many as I can and will work on removing the music from them over the next few months

Thing is though, Colin's show without music isn't the same as Chris' show without music. With Chris' show the music is an irrelevance, whereas Colin presents an extremely good music based show. Yes, the banter is good, but you need the music too. Plus it's pretty good a lot of the time.

Well of course I'll keep copies with the tracks in tact but for legal reasons I'll cut them out. I'll certainly edit & upload his final show of course, that will be the important one

[tom greeni]

I'm gutted, Colin was one of my favourite R1 DJ's and Nick.G will be an awful replacement! What shows does he do at 5 live, never even listened to that station ?

[methuk]

Grimmy = Poop.

Simple as

[SAV1OUR]

Last one tonight, I might actually listen to it when I get back tonight.

[drewbarrymore]

Has anyone heard the trail for Grimshaw's show?

It won't be like Colin's at all methinks.

It's now, "Get up with Moyles, Get home with Mills and Stay up with Grimshaw".

[English Bob]

Great. They never really plugged Colin's show, except for brief mentions by DJ's or 'Rachel's Roundup' but now Grimshaw gets mentioned in a trail? Methinks Radio 1 management want to force the 'new young talent' down the audiences' throats!

[bradcali]

word is management are not happy with Colin for quitting

[Ed Pummelon]

And you're basing that claim on what? What's your source? Have you got a link you could share with us (which isn't a tabloid "newspaper")?

[foot-loose]

(which isn't a tabloid "newspaper")?

Your use of inverted commas makes me like you a wee bitty more.

Yep I've heard that. Love the line 'dear God what have we done' or words to that effect. Well covered Radio 1!

Thing is, they are joking about that. They don't realise how true it is.

As mentioned up thread I was attempting to get as many Colin Murray shows before he left, so, here's the list of what I've managed to download (hopefully they're all in tact & don't have the end part "missing", which is one fault with the iPlayer I find at present):

27/4/2009
28/4/2009
29/4/2009
30/4/2009
30/4/2009
05/5/2009
18/5/2009
19/5/2009
20/5/2009
21/5/2009
27/5/2009

I'm working on getting the 26/5/2009 (which is currently unavailable) and also the last show. The first one to be edited will be, of course the Final Show & then the last Midweek Mobile Disco.

I can't promise a timespan but seeing as the shows are only two hours long, that shouldn't be too much of a problem

[English Bob]

Excellent work Johnny!

[bradcali]

I am listening now in floods of tears

Colin Murray-radio one DJ 1999-2009 R.I.P

[freddie]

Colin certainly knows how to end the show on a high - What a great mix of tunes tonight.

Some of the unexpected songs have been the best - why couldn't they convince him to stay?

[Johnny 1989]

Due to that last, ahem, song I decided to record the last 7 minutes of the show just before his final link, just incase the BBC get frightened & edit the last part out (including Colin's "*") However, unfortunately due to shite internet connections the sound drops out several times for a few seconds, twice whilst Colin was talking in his last link.

Hopefully Colin is not too mainstream enough that the BBC leave in the expletives, after all I can't imagine many under 15's listening to the show seeing as they have school tomorrow.

[freddie]

They didn't edit out the '* good riddance' bit last week, so I remain hopeful that they don't edit out this time.

Oh didn't they? Great they shouldn't need to really, should they, after all doesn't Westwood swear on his show every week (or am I taking Grey Head's comments from 2000 to literally)

[freddie]

There was plenty of warnings as well, so if they edit it out it will be a travesty.

[Johnny 1989]

Absolutely, he said it about 20 times in the last half hour

Screw the Daily Mail, BBC keep it in considering it's his last show

How long do they take to upload shows on iPlayer?
