The producer’s 45-minute film
The producer’s Glastonbury stories continued. After struggling with a slow phone and deleting Instagram, he discovered that a 45-minute recording of Coldplay and its aftermath occupied most of the available space.
He remembered making the video but could not explain why. Scott and Chris challenged the habit of watching concerts through a screen, then suggested preserving the footage because the conversation recorded after the band finished might reveal more than the performance itself.
The programme’s Wednesday gap also replayed highlights from Unlucky Gary, Gemma Collins’s apology and other recent shows. Listeners joined Bamboleo from vans, ladders, skips, cars and workplaces, before attention turned to a feature that had not appeared for some time.
The Who Game returns
A “whooo” was defined as something outdated, forgotten or slightly rubbish. Scott, Chris and callers took turns naming one until somebody failed, with examples including CD-ROMs, internet cafés, Darius Danesh, Roy Hodgson, erasable pens, Microsoft Paint, scratch-and-sniff cards and Aaron Carter.
The lines reached listeners as far away as Sweden, and several choices prompted arguments about whether the subject was genuinely obsolete. Microsoft Paint still existed, but everyone remembered treating it as entertainment before the internet provided anything better.
Nobody crashed out before the time limit. Scott declared every participant a winner and promised the game would not be left dormant for so long again.
Chris begins his Bangers recovery
Scott had won Monday’s underwhelming contest, then increased the lead on Tuesday. On Wednesday, a listener who worked in chocolate sales chose between Kelly Clarkson’s “My Life Would Suck Without You” and Chris’s Kings of Leon selection, “Use Somebody”.
The caller followed his heart and picked Chris’s head-banger. That narrowed the week to two-one and produced the first step in a possible comeback, while Scott promised to return stronger on Thursday.
Alice Levine’s Real or No Real included Calvin Harris refollowing former partners Taylor Swift and Rita Ora on Instagram, a massage hoodie, and an Australian restaurant offering free burgers for life to people who legally changed their surname to Burger.
