3 October 2008: Scott Cam ended with a portable sauna in the living room

 

Scott Cam reached its final day

The home experiment ended with six cameras covering Scott’s flat. After several days of watching meals, messages and ordinary domestic behaviour, the programme needed a suitably unnecessary finale.

A portable sauna arrived

The answer was a steam sauna which could be set up inside the home. Chappers climbed in, turning a normal living room into something between a health spa and a low-budget television challenge. The visual absurdity was ideal for a feature which had always depended on listeners being able to see what radio presenters normally kept private.

The show kept the public involved

A dog-related guessing game, Barry Chuckle material and another Pete Tong three-word survey ran alongside the final webcam scenes. Scott Cam ended not with a dramatic revelation but with the programme having proved that a radio show could make content out of a flat, a camera and a presenter with nowhere to hide.
