The programme has run consistently every week, with the exceptions of 31 August 1997 and 9 April 2021 when it was cancelled as Radio 1 suspended programming due to the deaths of Diana, Princess of Wales and Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh respectively. The show was also sometimes shortened during coverage of BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend. Due to coverage of Gregathlon for Sport Relief 2016, the show on 12 February 2016 was presented by Scott Mills at the earlier time of 2 to 4pm.
