From what I can read from all of this is that everyone wants a calm and humorous introduction to the day that gently gets you in the right frame of mind, you feel uplifted and not agitated by inane/ over hyped conversation whilst you drink a cuppa/ get on with your day/ is an antidote to the stress of a typical morning before we all crack on with daily life. Can anyone suggest a solution as I would love it! Or is this the impossible dream?

Chris Moyles on Radio X is fab!

i heard it was 10 years ago
someone has snitched

Even if you're a fan of Mills, using language such as 'snitched' is poor. If there is a genuine victim out there that has come forward they deserve better.

Snitched. Dear God.

Bless him, but nooooooooooooooo!

I'm wondering when Greg James will be moved across to Radio 2?

Which is why you felt the overwhelming need to come on this thread? Grin

That isn't a logical follow-on - if she doesn't know who the hell Scott Mills is, but he's all over today's news, then why NOT come on this thread to find out? Grin Thread title says nothing about radio.

I have genuinely never heard of Scott Mills before today, either, so I'll join that club. Though I do really want to know what he's meant to have done! I listen to the radio all the time but not R2.

God no! Complete sexist twat when he was on Radio 1.

God no! Complete sexist twat when he was on Radio 1.

That was a long time ago though & very much of its time. Honestly, he’s hilarious (although to be fair I loved him on R1 too Grin! )

He was the reason I stopped listening to radio 1!
I guess the world would be boring if we all liked the same thing, so.. peace!

Same. Chris Moyles was noughties misogyny personified.

Couldn’t agree more. Liza had incredible taste in music and introduced me to so many artists I’d never have found otherwise. She was warm, genuinely funny, and made her show feel like one big family. Saturday nights cooking dinner just haven’t been the same since.

Liza’s music selection is hands-down the best on Radio 2. Thoughtfully curated & eclectic. Everyone in our house from 6-year-old DD to 85-year-old DFIL love her.

And so shouty about it! Argh, the shouting. Same as Chris Evans. Shout shout shout. Ugh.

Position in the force? Where is this from please.

Wales online, like I said I don’t know if it’s true or not

Very happy as I can't stand him

I have new glasses.
I don’t think they’re the right prescription.
I first read this as Scout Willis sacked!
I thought Scout Willis has a job?
A big fancy job that even the British ladies would be shocked over?
Then I saw my mistake.
It’s 1:40 in the afternoon in California and I think I’ll take these glasses off and have a margarita.
It’s a struggle over here lol.

grumpyoldmareneedstea · 30/03/2026 20:57

im assuming this is about a disgraced copper, not Scott Mills

I don’t know it was an article about Scott Mills but I don’t know how true it is

Coconutter24 · 30/03/2026 21:45

CurlewKate · 30/03/2026 21:13

What “force” was he on? I suspect this is the wrong person and you should get your post deleted asap…..

It was just an article online but like I said I don’t know if it’s true or not just what I read

Oh I’m so glad someone else has mentioned Ellie sounding congested all the time!!! I can’t stand that she can’t say junction without sounding like the tunes advert from the 80s.

Ritchie Anderson is just awful

Vernon is the worst of them all with his faux OTT northern-ness and ‘on the tools’ bullshit. Slimy, fake, cheating piece of shit. Janice / Janine thing is so overdone.

i loved Scott’s elder vs millennial and the wonder years. Although I used to turn over for the easiest quiz which was soooo annoying all the begging ‘oh please quiz’

Never liked Zoe doing anything

Sara Cox is ok in small doses, but not kids in the car! I was impressed by her children in need task

paddy - no
romesh - no
sally traffic - no shut up
emma Willis - yawn

miss Simon mayo, Ken & Steve Wright

i think my vote will be for Rylan

Agree on all this!!

CoopsSara · 30/03/2026 21:48

I don't understand why the BBC and/or Scott Mills won't just say exactly what the reasons are - stops all this gossip and hearsay! Whatever is alleged to have happened will come out in the end anyway.

madeofmore · 30/03/2026 21:17

Well now, some of those fine people cut their teeth in radio, spending years honing their skills on the radio. Some of them host and present their own shows now, some of them have co-hosted radio shows with others. In fact all of them have worked extensively in radio except for Richard Ayoade, who has 'only' recorded a radio series as a performer and is more TV based in his choice of media. Oh yes, @YourMagentaCat , they're a very talented group of people. But you crack on, if you want to compare them to a few well known faces off adverts.

I think you may be on glue @madeofmore. What a hoot.

He just irritates the hell out of me 😍

Me too. Got too cocky & big for his boots, I started switching stations til it was time for Vernon

the80sweregreat · 30/03/2026 22:00

Sara is too chirpy for me, but she seems a decent sort and like most of the women DJs on radio 2 , they have stayed scandal free ( so far) and the ones like Jo Wiley actually know about music.

EvieBB · 30/03/2026 22:03

princesspadam · 30/03/2026 11:46

What? Why? I love Scott Mills

I Soo don't.....can't bear him.,..never forgave him for taking over Steve Wright in the afternoon (best radio show ever)

TheUsualChaos · 30/03/2026 22:06

Sara would be great but selfishly I get to listen to more of her show in the evenings.
