Dick and Dom on Radio 1

I think they have now changed it to 'Radio 1 Newsbeat'.

Im wondering if they moved the news to 06:55 so that they actually get Chris on air at 07:00. A few times now he has started the show from the back of a cab 5 mins away from Youlding House.

It's only like that for the 5pm news, as it's not a proper bulletin, just a short roundup of whats coming up on the main edition at 5:45. They still use the "Digital, FM, Online...." on the rest of them.

Aargh darn it. As some old vicar I used to know would say.

Dick and Dom are going to be hosting Friday's Early Breakfast throughout February, starting this Friday at 4am

This is part of Radio 1's attempt to try out new talent

so what could Dick N Dom do for 3 hours early in the mornings?

Attempt to amuse the non existent audience at that hour by screaming "BOGIES" randomly at top volume over a record.

I saw a article about that somewhere. How Dick N Dom is an attempt for Radio to try out new talent. They are established broadcasters in some sense of the word. They have experience. I rather it was given to somebody who was coming up the cranks than somebody who was having a lull in their tv career.

I'm listening back to today's show now, and I have to say that its not that bad. I do think they're a bit nervous, but I think they're loosening up.

Richard's done radio before, but Dom sounds like its all new to him.

Maybe they need more than four shows to settle in?

I think they're doing that thing of saying what tracks are coming up too much though...

The Bravery with An Honest Mistake before Just Jack with Starz In Their Eyes,

It sounds wierd before tracks rather than after. A bit local radio.

Oh shrivel up & die D&D u ruined Ask The Family and now R1? Stop

Oh shut your head, they're on at 4am for God's sake, nobody's forcing you to listen! Any normal person would be in bed at that time, and if they did want to listen to them would make use of the Listen Again facility....
