13 December 2016: You Me at Six turn Innuendo Bingo into a water fight

 

Josh and Dan enter the wet area

Josh Franceschi and Dan Flint from You Me at Six play Innuendo Bingo together, giving Chris the unusual job of facing two band members at once. Their pop-star conversation includes touring, food and Josh’s unexpected afternoon appointment at the vet.

The clips travel through cooking, farming and Countryfile, with Dan and Josh sometimes directing their water at each other rather than Chris. Their shared history makes it easy to anticipate which line will break the other, turning the round into a three-way water fight.

Somebody challenges Unlucky Gary

A listener claims that her own sequence of mishaps makes her less fortunate than Unlucky Gary. This is a serious challenge to a friend whose sleeping injuries, failed arrangements and minor domestic disasters have become a regular part of the programme.

Scott and Chris compare the evidence rather than awarding the title immediately. Gary’s ability to create a fresh problem from an ordinary situation remains difficult to beat, particularly after the previous day’s badly chosen Christmas cards.

The Christmas meal requires restraint

The show team prepares for its Christmas dinner, but Scott urges everybody to treat it as a civilised meal because Radio 1’s larger party is still to come. His recovering voice provides another reason not to turn a Tuesday gathering into the main event.

The second day of the week’s Bangers contest and door 13 of the Whooovent Calendar complete the programme. The calendar produces another sharply recognisable old sound, while listeners insist that both proposed songs qualify as genuine bangers.
