24 September 2008: The public decided whether Beccy looked like Matt Lucas

 

Beccy’s photograph faced public judgement

A photograph had prompted the suggestion that Beccy looked like Matt Lucas, particularly when she smiled. Instead of quietly ignoring the comparison, the show took it to the public and asked strangers to decide whether there really was a resemblance.

Beccy’s Classifieds became increasingly supernatural

The day’s listings included an invisibility spell costing £13.50, along with spy-style sunglasses and religious novelty plasters. Scott and Beccy treated the claims with exactly the amount of seriousness they deserved, which meant discussing them at length while never quite accepting that an inexpensive classified advert had solved invisibility.

The DJs stayed on the keyboards

Bob Sinclar and Axwell returned for musical guessing at a keyboard, continuing their run of appearances around the show. The combination of dance stars, classified oddities and a public comparison between Beccy and Matt Lucas captured the programme’s ability to make almost any observation into a repeatable feature.
