The show debriefed the BRIT Awards
The morning after the BRITs brought plenty to discuss.
Scott and Chris were particularly pleased for Becky Hill, whose win produced the kind of genuine excitement they liked seeing at an awards show.
The ceremony then gave way to a feature which treated motorway infrastructure with equally serious enthusiasm.
All hail the Service Station King
Rich, the show’s motorway-services obsessive, returned with another edition of the game in which listeners had to work out where he was standing.
His first clue said the location had all the classics, was “home to the king” and had a farming connection.
The second mentioned modern EV charging and a nearby toll.
The final clue revealed it was the UK’s newest services, opened in 2021, and invited listeners to join him for a “scrum”.
At that point the answer became much clearer.
Rich was at Rugby M6 services.
Rugby M6 had robots and a farm connection
Rich explained that the service area had been built around an existing farm.
It also offered a large bank of high-powered electric-vehicle chargers and had, at one stage, used a robot cleaner.
Scott immediately imagined something far more humanoid and futuristic than the machine Rich was actually describing.
The show nevertheless treated Rugby’s architecture, courtyard and charging points as though Rich had discovered a new theme park.
That was precisely why the feature worked.
Celebrity catchphrases had become legal property
The quiz asked which stars had trademarked particular phrases.
Paris Hilton had trademarked “That’s hot”.
Taylor Swift had protected phrases including “This sick beat” connected to the *1989* era.
N-Dubz were also brought into the conversation through their own well-known language and an old Live Lounge which Chris remained determined to get played again in full.
It was an afternoon in which award shows, legal trademarks and a motorway service station all received roughly the same level of excitement.
