Scott and Chris were back
Scott opened the programme by pointing out that they had been away for three days.
Chris had used part of the break to film the long-promised report for Saturday Kitchen, the programme he had been desperate to appear on ever since Scott went without him earlier in the year.
The finished item lasted only a couple of minutes, despite Chris spending much longer filming it in a field, but simply appearing on one of his favourite television programmes counted as progress.
Holly Willoughby upset Star Wars fans
Scott and Chris also replayed a moment from This Morning in which Holly Willoughby appeared to reveal a Star Wars plot detail while interviewing John Boyega.
The reaction in the studio immediately suggested that something had gone wrong.
To avoid repeating the spoiler themselves, Scott and Chris covered the crucial word with a Star Wars sound effect.
They were less interested in the actual plot revelation than in the split second of awkward silence after Holly realised she might have said something viewers were not supposed to know.
Beccy was overwhelmed by Christmas cards
Listener Beccy was shopping for cards in Harrogate and admitted she had become unexpectedly emotional.
Cards for parents were particularly dangerous. Simply reading sentimental messages about dads and Christmas was enough to make her cry in the shop.
Scott and Chris encouraged her to keep looking at increasingly emotional cards while she remained on the phone, which did not improve the situation.
Other listeners quickly admitted they had experienced the same thing in card shops and supermarkets, where otherwise routine Christmas shopping could suddenly become intensely sentimental.
