===Radio 1's summer stunts=== Since 2018, BBC Radio 1 has performed format-breaking listener stunts. In 2018, Greg James and Nick Grimshaw played Hide and Seek on the radio and were found after 22 hours at the [[Royal Liver Building]] in Liverpool.<ref>{{cite news |title=Nick Grimshaw and Greg James found after 'biggest game of hide and seek' |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-44874290 |website=BBC Newsbeat |date=18 July 2018 |access-date=21 July 2023}}</ref> In 2019 James and Grimshaw hid at the [[Grand Pier, Weston-super-Mare]] for almost 26 hours.<ref>{{cite web |title=The funniest moments of Radio 1's hide and seek game |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/28YSG38zTZxdDNbQsYqf2Wz/the-funniest-moments-of-radio-1-s-hide-and-seek-game |website=BBC Radio 1 |access-date=21 July 2023}}</ref> In the summer of 2021 Radio 1 held ''Radio 1's Summer Breakout'', where James was locked inside a camper van and had to escape by entering a password. James escaped the van after 62 hours.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://canvas-story.bbcrewind.co.uk/summerbreakout/ |title=Radio 1's Summer Breakout - How Greg James escaped! |publisher=BBC |access-date=24 July 2023}}</ref> The following year, James was booted off the Radio 1 Breakfast Show and had to complete a giant 20-piece jigsaw puzzle to find the missing pieces scattered across the United Kingdom. After six days, James completed the puzzle and was reinstated as host of the Breakfast show.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-07-25 |title=Greg James reinstated as presenter after completing Radio 1 Giant Jigsaw |url=https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/20512859.radio-1s-greg-james-finishes-hove-lagoon-giant-jigsaw/ |access-date=2023-07-21 |website=The Argus |language=en}}</ref> In the summer of 2023, all DJs other than Greg James went into hiding, with James and the listeners asked to piece back the schedule and find all 30 DJs. On 20 July, James and the listeners were informed that if any DJs were still missing by noon (UK time) on 21 July the station would go off air. [[Mollie King]] was still hidden at this time, so the station went off air for five minutes, between 12:00 and 12:05, before returning to broadcasting at 12:05 pm.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-07-21 |title=This Is How Radio 1 Ended Up Broadcasting In Total Silence After Greg James' Latest Stunt |url=https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/greg-james-bbc-radio-1-giant-dj-hunt-mollie-king-silence_uk_64ba7702e4b038c60cca216e |access-date=2023-07-21 |website=HuffPost UK |language=en}}</ref>
