Good Day! It's Tuesday (I'm told), and I feel rubbish so I'm filling in for Jo today with my review. I still think its only bley Friday, so bear with me here.
Listen Again Schedule:
4.45pm – Chappers Automated Answerphone Game
5.15pm – Laura's Diary
6.30pm – Your Call
Scott was proud of himself today as he'd set-up his own myspace account online, and now most of the Radio 1 DJs are joining up. Chappers is a bit miffed as his only friend is a guy called Tom, who turns out to automatically add himself when you register as he's the site creator. Chappers reckons 'word is yet to get around'. Chappers said he'll be fully on myspace from next week, and Scott had 30 pages of friends within 30 minutes.
Myspace
Normally when you call Radio 1 you get Scott Mills aged sixteen on the first day at Radio 1, sounding all high pitched and nervous. But today Chappers was back with his automated answerphone game, where Chappers answers the phone and pretends to be the answerphone. The poor guy requesting a Your Call track, ended up at 'catering' (Jo Whiley's mobile) and then 'plumbing'. 'Listener relations' department ended up with pizza guy, the rudest man in Britain. Would you go through all that just for Scissor Sisters' Laura? Don't forget to Listen Again, or check out our message board for a download.
Tom Baker – the new 'face' of text messaging – not the best face really is it…
Flrt Dvrt Txt
"I thought you were a real cutie, and I can't believe you had to leave early"
Flirt Divert
Flirt Divert was back again today, and they were getting the texts from a landline, and it turns out the scary BT lady has been replaced by Little Britain narrator Tom Baker. Scott wonders whether he sits there and reads them as they come through. He even says LOL as 'Laugh Out Loud'.
Laura's Diary
Just incase you thought 'it had gone all Family Affairs' Scott has instructed Mary to skip a few pages and launch in the juicier bits of her 1997 diary. It's almost as popular as the Queen's speech. Last time we found out about Ben and Laura's latest line of work (go back to yesterday's review for more). Today's extract was from the Sunday 31st August 1997 where she was working at the hotel, and Room 3 was being a nightmare. The kid kept 'fingering all the brass' and kept pretending to be a teletubby. Ben had called her that night, and was to meet on Wednesday at 8pm with his mate Callum. She just hopes he'll be average looking at least, and is worried about her drinking habits. She had been to the football to try and find Ben, but he wasn't there and the next day she's off for new underwear tomorrow at M&S. Today listeners concluded that Laura could be the new tour guide for York with the knowledge of all her hot spots.
"Alright Treacle" – the first sign of bird flu
Awight Treacle
One guy has sent Scott had an MP3 which is supposedly of his parrot saying Scott's catchphrase, but it sounds more like him, or Michael Barrymore leaving the Big Brother house. There's some weird listeners out there, tomorrow watch out for lots of llama fun.
ALL NEW Your Call
Tonight on Your Call requests included Arctic Monkeys, Destiny's Child, Notorious BIG, KT Tunstall and The Kooks.
