Three people, two mouths full of water, no safe seat
Lauren Pope and Diags joined Chris for a three-person Innuendo Bingo. Lauren had dressed with Fashion Week in mind and had not understood how wet the game became. She initially tried to occupy the space beside the contest, but every failed mouthful turned that position into the worst seat in the studio.
The clips supplied a large brush on a woman, somebody juggling balls, a delicious clinger, a Norwegian being smashed in his own backyard and wine described as a seven-year-old. Fanny Carpet made another appearance, while curling commentary provided the reliable instruction to come across the face.
Diags and Chris became locked in a direct spraying contest as Lauren tried to make herself smaller. The formal group photograph afterwards captured three people who had technically taken part in the same feature but experienced very different levels of consent and preparation.
Fraser becomes Tom Daley
Scott’s former flatmate Fraser was said to sound like Tom Daley. The show tested the resemblance and widened the idea into celebrity voice doubles, inspired partly by the surprising similarity between Jonah Hill and Skrillex when heard without pictures.
Fraser’s voice made the case even when his life did not. The feature offered listeners a new form of celebrity resemblance that required no matching face, clothing or ability to dive.
Please do not forward this to Danny Howard
The all-staff emails continued. One employee apologised for a toast addiction, another objected to queue-jumping in the canteen, and the Archbishop of York appeared in a message concerning a missing white plate. A final instruction asked recipients not to forward an email to Danny Howard, almost guaranteeing that it would reach him.
Charlie Sloth arrived with his son Harry, who wore similar clothes and could reproduce his father’s noises. Mini Sloth’s presence gave the studio two generations of the same performance and provided an eager assistant for the day’s quiz.
Brit Awards Real or No Real
The questions looked ahead to the Brit Awards. A Brit trophy really had been used as a toilet-roll holder. Elton John’s award had not been delivered by a bald eagle. A story that Danny Howard had got off with “a representative of Stooshe” was technically true only after the wording was carefully unpacked; it did not mean a member of the group.
Harry helped with the answers and made the score less important than his delight at taking part. Charlie had brought a convincing miniature version of himself, while Scott had only managed to bring a damp Fashion Week outfit into contact with curling commentary.
