5 May 2021: Reanna reviewed Scott and Chris’s Naked Attraction audio description as Rasputin took over the quiz

 

Reanna gave the Naked Attraction verdict

The audio-described episode had aired.

Listener Reanna, who regularly used audio description, joined the show to review Scott and Chris’s work.

She thought Chris had adopted a very serious narration voice.

Scott sounded more enthusiastic.

Scott took that as a compliment.

He said he had deliberately savoured every word because the opportunity was so unusual.

Reanna also explained why audio description mattered beyond the comedy.

It was available across services including BBC iPlayer and gave blind and visually impaired viewers access to visual action they would otherwise miss.

Watching people react had become part of the fun

Scott and Chris had spent the previous evening watching social media.

People posted videos of themselves laughing at the narration.

The whole thing became a kind of accidental Gogglebox.

Scott and Chris watched people watching them describe naked bodies.

That reaction made the project feel bigger than simply recording a funny television voiceover.

Granny Tinder found unusual professions

Lynette returned for another set of profiles.

The jobs were increasingly distinctive.

A freelance shepherd immediately triggered discussion about whether shepherding still counted as a medieval profession.

Another profile somehow brought Bill Gates into the feature.

Scott and Chris had become so used to Lynette judging ordinary men that a celebrity-style profile felt like another reasonable test of her standards.

Rasputin became educational

The quiz went heavily into Rasputin.

Scott and Chris had spent days playing Boney M’s *Rasputin* and joking about its lyrics.

Now producer Will turned it into an actual history round.

Questions covered Grigori Rasputin’s relationship with the Russian royal family, his assassination and the lyrics of the song.

Scott admitted the programme had effectively become a history lesson.

The strange part was that the Boney M version had genuinely made him want to know more.
