Format
editWeekend featured a mixture of chat and musical guests.[1]
Aled Jones presented the programme on Saturday and Sunday mornings.[2] Of this appointment, Jones said "What more can I ask for than a mix of all of the things I love! It's a dream come true to present a show I've always wanted to watch and I can't wait to get started".
The show also had a feature on people with strange talents or hobbies, called 'We're Talking in the Air', a pun on "Walking in the Air", a song famously covered by Jones.
