The danger of being Monday’s story
Scott warned listeners that an office Christmas party could create a reputation lasting for years. He had once become the talk of Radio 1 after going too hard at its party and now preferred the smug safety of remembering everything the next morning.
Ollie from Southampton understood the risk. At the previous year’s event he had thrust and twerked during speeches, treated a pole as dance equipment, licked a cheesecake and thrown it at his boss. He had also danced inappropriately close to his colleague Annabel.
With the next party happening that night, Scott called Annabel. Ollie apologised and promised to eat beforehand, alternate drinks with water and avoid repeating the performance. Annabel accepted, removing at least some of the awkwardness before Monday.
Scott headlocks Big Narstie
Two days earlier, Scott had encountered Big Narstie while leaving the studio. The rapper asked to be placed in a headlock for a photograph, producing an image in which Scott appeared unexpectedly aggressive.
Chris had avoided the meeting and then repeatedly called Big Narstie “Big Tasty”. Scott warned that the mistake was becoming dangerous with the rapper still in the building.
A dog sends its annual card
Scott received a Christmas card from a dog named Riley. The family staged a new photoshoot every year and turned the resulting picture into Riley’s own card range.
The practice sounded excessive until listeners began revealing similar traditions, including pets dressed in wigs, sunglasses and festive costumes. Riley was apparently part of a much larger Christmas-card industry.
Barbara Windsor brings the final facts
Barbara Windsor supplied the day’s Real or No Real facts. One returning festive claim was definitely false: the “NYPD choir” mentioned in “Fairytale of New York” did not exist and had been invented for the song.
Scott closed the week by fully introducing Christmas music into his links. From Monday, the programme would also revive Felicia’s online singing lessons for a festive challenge.
