Would you want me, Dave and Rachel with him on Breakfast?
Would you want R1 to keep Chappers and Matt or bring George over?
Would you want the tedious link? A new feature? Or how about a Tedious hour maybe?
If you really want Radio 1 back to where you believe it should be (there's not much support on these boards for Sara I notice) who would you put your most trusted show to to bring in the ratings and produce true class radio?
If you were in charge of Radio 1 would you really put Colin and Edith and Moyles on your two top slots? Isn't there a fear it would be too samey?

OK Aled, here are my opinions then.
I'd certainly like you and Dave to join him, Rachel hasn't really distinguished herself enough yet for me to form a fair opinion.
Transfer George over, if she'd be willing, and definately get rid of Chappers. Him and Dave together are ok in moderation but not all the time.
Tedious hour is what we've got at the moment, the only reason it doesn't work that well is because of the dj, but maybe Chris can make it work.
Having Chris on the breakfast show is a good move by management, it will certainly increase the ratings, but for those of us who like to listen to all of Chris' show, not just dip into it like most breakfast listeners would, having it start at an earlier time slot is annoying.
What's wrong with having things too samey. If people like it then why not. I'd much rather listen to djs who I like rather than one who I have to switch off as soon as they come on.
