Any thoughts on what the where am I replacement is going to be? Hopefully another feature with callers.
Shaun Keaveney is good on 6music if you can get DAB. He's pretty funny & there's obviously more music than Chris but at least its half decent (usually) & not the juvenile playlist crap Radio 1 has.
There's even a familiar & strangely comforting dread coming up to 10 as well, when he too hands over to a tedious, will sapping, female presenter, though Lauren Laverne rather than Ferne f*cking Cotton.
That's why I like 6Music, I don't listen to Keaveney (but trust me I will by a DAB alarm clock soon, next time Moyles is off Radio 1 will also be off if Mills is there) but I like the majority of their music & they do play new bands that are decent on the whole & also the decent classics.
In all honesty if it wasn't for Moyles I would have given up on the music a long time ago, I mean honestly hip-hop/r'n'b over the top of an Ibiza tune, really?!?!

He should just NOT TALK.
Nail on the head there Yuds as to why I dislike him, Moyles, Coxy, hell even Cotton can do a link, talk about something and by the tone in their voice you can tell that a link is going to come to an end. Mills just stops mid sentence every time, and sounds so robotic on the Radio these days.
My brother heard a bit of the show this morning, his exact words were "Who's this twat, Mills? He sounds awful" and he's someone who prefers the Afternoon Moyles show to the Mornings (mainly because of Will).
One bit that did make me laugh this week was when Harry Hill (who raised the quality of the show 10 fold) was on the show, I think Wednesday or Thursday, and the following conversation occured:
Mills: Hello Harry welcome back again to the show
Harry: Yes hello, you've moved to a new time?!
Mills: Yeah it's only temporary, Chris is back next week
Harry: Ah so this is an audition then?
Mills: We'll I've been doing this (covering for Moyles) for ten years now, so I think that time has passed
Or something like that, can't remember Mills' exact words at the end before I turned the Radio off, either way I think Harry was knowingly taking the piss
