Matt Tancock was back in the news again
BBC Radio Devon presenter Matt Tancock returned to the show because his name was once again causing problems.
Whenever Health Secretary Matt Hancock dominated the news, people searching or tweeting about him regularly found the wrong Matt.
Tancock’s own social-media mentions — and even BBC Radio Devon’s — could suddenly fill with messages intended for the politician.
Scott and Chris became distracted by a different question:
Can politicians have fans?
They could understand supporters.
But saying somebody was a “fan of Matt Hancock” sounded to them more like language for pop stars.
That led to listeners admitting they were fans of public figures such as Chris Whitty, Jonathan Van-Tam and newsreaders.
One married listener also admitted that a young Justin Trudeau caused “confusing feelings”.
The parents-house reviews became more dangerous
The TripAdvisor feature continued.
Student Bilal, heading back to Southampton, was accustomed to a relatively comfortable halls setup and had no intention of being gentle with his parents.
His review described the property as poorly maintained and criticised aspects of the stay as below expectation.
The running joke had shifted decisively from students being grateful for months of free accommodation to using Radio 1 to publish grievances against their own families.
The quiz began with films Scott barely knew
Don’t Look It Up opened with a movie round that Scott immediately disliked.
Chris did much better.
The second round used foreign-language covers of familiar hits, including *Savage Love* in French, a Japanese version of Katy Perry and a German cover of a well-known song.
Scott found the translated versions much more to his taste.
Wednesday still meant Bamboleo
The show also made room for its Wednesday ritual.
Whatever else was happening in September 2020, *Bamboleo* remained dependable.
