BBC Radio 1’s Giant Detention gets underway with Greg James

The latest station promotion on BBC Radio 1 got underway this morning as Greg James was placed in a makeshift studio/classroom.

In the week most kids go back to school after the summer holidays, Greg is also joining them in the station’s game.

Last week, Greg posted a letter from Radio 1 management to him and other DJs which welcomed them to a new term beginning today, stating “attendance is compulsory, truancy will be punished”. He was placed in the special classroom last night, to be ready for today’s show.
