Nothing is cheeky about a drink after work
Scott began with a complaint about people describing ordinary plans as “cheeky” or “sneaky”. A drink after work was simply a drink after work; adding a mischievous adjective did not make it more exciting or forbidden.
Chris defended the phrase because it suggested somebody was briefly escaping their responsibilities. Scott remained unconvinced, although even he had to admit that the day’s Innuendo Bingo could reasonably be described as cheeky.
Matt Edmondson comes back to Bingo
Matt Edmondson arrived with an increasingly substantial beard and rumours of a television prank show following him. Scott tried to turn both into evidence that Matt had adopted a new secret identity, but he was still recognisable enough to sit opposite Chris for Innuendo Bingo.
BBC Two’s wildlife output had enjoyed an extraordinarily busy week. The clips repeatedly returned to beavers, while the usual mixture of sport, cookery and local radio supplied descriptions that acquired a second meaning as soon as Matt and Chris filled their mouths with water.
Matt and Chris tried to hold their composure, but the concentration of similar wildlife language made anticipation as dangerous as the clips themselves. By the end, the floor covering and both players had absorbed another full game’s worth of water.
Chris considers life as a beauty vlogger
Chris had noticed that online beauty presenters could attract millions of views by filming simple routines in their bedrooms. He believed he possessed equally valuable knowledge and began planning videos around his own washing, deodorant and grooming habits.
Scott saw the obvious problem: Chris’s approach to personal care was not generally held up as an example to others. That did not discourage him. The confidence and direct-to-camera delivery mattered more than the sophistication of the advice, and a Radio 1 beauty channel suddenly seemed possible.
Dot Cotton is older than Singapore
Scott and Chris played Real or No Real against one another. The outstanding fact concerned June Brown, born in 1927, and Singapore, which became an independent country in 1965. Dot Cotton therefore really was older than Singapore.
It joined two of the programme’s favourite age comparisons: David Attenborough being older than sliced bread and Bruce Forsyth being older than the same invention. Scott won the round 30–20 and immediately promoted the fact as something listeners could use in the pub.
