Chris took revenge with Scott’s photograph
After Scott spent Monday asking strangers what job they thought Chris did from his publicity photo, Tuesday reversed the experiment.
Chris took Scott’s picture outside.
Scott had been fairly pleased with the idea when it targeted Chris.
He was much less relaxed once strangers were judging him.
The answers did not consistently suggest “Radio 1 presenter” or “DJ”.
That supported the original complaint.
Their club photographs were not communicating the image either presenter wanted.
A new photo shoot was increasingly unavoidable.
Funny Business reached Cockermouth
Funny Business also continued.
Chris believed he was making an international call for one of the businesses.
Instead, he found himself speaking to a cycle shop in Cockermouth, Cumbria.
The local paper had already covered the previous call and somehow described the presenters as Chris Pratt and Danny Howard.
Scott and Chris were delighted by the idea that a Hollywood star had been mistakenly credited with taking part in their stupid phone game.
Nicole prepared to meet a Dragon
The main event was another edition of Nicole Meets.
Nicole from Pontypridd had already interviewed Eamonn Holmes, her number-one celebrity.
Second on her list was Deborah Meaden.
Nicole loved *Dragons’ Den* and was genuinely nervous.
Scott reassured her that Deborah was much warmer than the hard television persona might suggest.
Nicole had prepared proper questions.
Which Dragon did Deborah clash with?
Nicole asked which Dragon Deborah most often disagreed with.
Deborah explained that it depended entirely on the investment.
Sometimes Peter Jones could be her ally.
At other times, if both wanted the same business, he could become her biggest competitor.
She said the relationships changed depending on the pitch rather than there being one permanent enemy in the Den.
Nicole then asked about what happened behind the scenes.
Deborah explained that a large team of researchers worked with the businesses and entrepreneurs before filming.
The Dragons themselves did not get advance briefings on the businesses.
They sat down and met the entrepreneurs in the Den without already knowing what the pitch would be.
Several cameras captured the conversation.
Scott was impressed that Nicole had moved from Wetherspoons stories to asking a Dragon genuine production questions on Radio 1.
Old and boring colleagues were shouted out too
The show also continued hearing from people whose workplaces contained colleagues who refused to listen to Radio 1.
Listeners had started calling these people OABs: old and boring.
One man described a colleague who turned the radio off whenever he walked past and ate the same peanut-butter sandwiches day after day.
Scott thought the routine was almost impressive.
Chris thought turning Radio 1 off was enough to justify the public shout-out.
