Scott Mills

Scott Robert Mills (born 28 March 1974) is a British radio DJ, television presenter and occasional actor, best known for presenting his show on BBC Radio 1. As of the 2011 Contest, Mills commentated for the semi-finals of the Eurovision Song Contest on BBC Three.

Early radio career

Mills began his career at the age of 16 as a DJ on his local Hampshire commercial radio station, Power FM, after barraging the station with demo tapes. Mills was given an opportunity to present a week worth of shows, and based on the success of this, he was immediately offered the 'graveyard slot' of 1:00 a.m. – 6:00 a.m. (six nights a week), making him the youngest permanent presenter on the mainstream commercial radio. Mills' popularity led to a quick move to the coveted late afternoon 'drive time'.

Mills moved from Power FM to GWR FM Bristol, staying with the station for two years, before joining Piccadilly Key 103 in Manchester where he again moved quickly from the late night slot to the mid-morning show. In 1995, Mills began to work for the new London station Heart 106.2.

Scott Mills (radio show)

Scott Mills is a Sony Radio Academy Award-winning radio show, broadcast every weekday afternoon on BBC Radio 1 from 1:004:00 pm. The show aired from 4:007:00 pm from 7 June 2004 until 30 March 2012. It is hosted by Scott Mills, with contributions from Chris Stark. Previous contributors have included Mark Chapman, Laura Sayers and Beccy Huxtable, the last of whom left the show on 18 January 2013.

History

The show began when Mills began work at Radio 1 in 1998. Soon after, he began to substitute for Sara Cox. In January 2004, he was made host of a programme broadcast between 1:00 and 3:00 pm on weekends. In May 2004 Mills returned to weekday-afternoon programming as a temporary replacement for Cox, who was on maternity leave. When Cox decided not to return to afternoons Mills became permanent host in the drive-time slot with Cox's co-host, Mark "Chappers" Chapman. The show originally aired from 3:00 to 6:00 pm, moving to a later slot in a schedule reorganisation.

Famous quotes by Scott Mills:

"We can't go out and be everywhere, ... With the public's help, we are taking these 'grows' down one by one."
"They are all off the beaten track, ... They are usually away from trails and usually where they can only be seen by the growers."
"[Vertical driver's licenses are issued for people under 21 so there can be no excuse for selling to a minor, police said.] It has been well publicized that the New Mexico Legislature sees this as having such a big impact on families, ... Because of all the underage DWI crashes and other effects of teenage drinking, they've made this a fourth-degree felony."
"The boys have been doing great. We have been able to score really well in any meet we have competed in. If I can keep them all healthy and push them to the end of the season, we are looking to enter the entire team in State competition."
"It encourages development where residents have services, shops, jobs and access to transit within walking distance of their homes."
"There's this extraordinary value enhancement to media associated with its portability."
"It has been well publicized that the New Mexico Legislature sees this as having such a big impact on families. Because of all the underage DWI crashes and other effects of teenage drinking, they've made this a fourth-degree felony."
"The drawback is that you may not see your own personal physician, but the reality is you're not going to see them anyway."
"It is not about personal gain and helping one person, it is about making everything better."
"The extemporaneous thinking is important. It is a really important skill in life."
