Mark Wright faces the water
Mark Wright joined Chris for Innuendo Bingo. Scott asked about Michelle Keegan, Mark’s experiences in saunas where everybody else was naked and the reality of being photographed whenever he covered up.
The clips included Alexander Graham Bell’s first telephone call, meat being slapped around somebody’s face and several pieces of sport and television commentary. Mark committed to the game, while Chris appeared particularly determined whenever a guest looked “a bit tasty”. Michelle’s name inevitably found its way into a Come Dine with Me clip about recognising a good piece of meat.
A translated conversation on the dance floor
The question of finding “the one” produced a new listener. His identity and voice were disguised, and the show called him Alfred. He had attended a stag weekend in Spain and met a woman in a nightclub whom he described as a total Spanish beauty.
They shared little language, so Alfred used his phone to translate messages while they stood on the dance floor. One message said he would move to Spain and learn Spanish. Despite having met her only once, he repeatedly declared that she was definitely the one.
There was a substantial complication. Alfred was already seeing a woman in Britain. He initially tried to reduce the significance of that relationship, saying she was not officially his girlfriend, before conceding that she would certainly believe they were seeing each other.
Alfred planned to tell the British woman it could not continue and pursue the Spanish relationship instead. Scott and Chris offered one withheld-number call the following day. If he ignored it, they would leave the situation alone; if he answered, he could explain whether he had ended one relationship for somebody he had met in a dark club through a translation app.
Lebanese food and reverse Coldplay
Scott and Chris prepared for their next friendship experience: Lebanese food after Friday’s show. Scott promised fattoush, tabbouleh and all the meats, while Chris treated it as the late birthday outing he had been promised.
Greg’s Real or No Real became unusually focused on bats. One mansion was not genuinely infested, although Scott remembered being trapped in a bedroom by a bat while revising. Chris Martin really could sing “The Scientist” backwards after learning the reversed lyrics for its video. Building the Titanic really did cost a sum comparable with a modern blockbuster, but another claim about recording an album was invented.
The day ended with Alfred’s decision unresolved and one carefully controlled phone call waiting for Friday.
