Everybody was suddenly “a ten, but…”
The internet’s latest relationship shorthand had reached the show.
Someone could be physically perfect, a ten out of ten, but then one habit or opinion changed the score completely.
The team supplied their own examples.
A person might be a ten but insist Love Island had only been good in the early series.
They might be a ten but decorate the bedroom with a giant New York skyline.
They might be a ten but immediately tell a Radio 1 presenter that they preferred 6 Music.
Producer Amy’s version was particularly honest.
A person could be a ten while also being prepared to enter financial ruin for Taylor Swift tickets.
Glastonbury traffic became radio entertainment
Festival-goers were making their way to Glastonbury while rail strikes and heavy road traffic complicated the journey.
The show called people stuck in cars and turned the queues into a form of Glasto Car-eoke.
One family included Ellie, her dad Simon and fiancé Adam, with sister Molly due to join later after finishing teaching.
The point was less about musical quality than keeping people entertained while they barely moved towards Worthy Farm.
Will Smith and Margot Robbie returned as a Golden Moment
The archive then went back to a 2016 edition of Playground Insults with Will Smith and Margot Robbie.
The game asked two famous people to stare at one another and trade increasingly personal insults without laughing.
Margot went after Will’s ears, suggesting they stuck out enough to function like Wi-Fi antennas back to Australia.
Neither performer particularly enjoyed being genuinely cruel, which was exactly what made the game funny.
Each insult was followed by an immediate struggle not to smile and undo the entire attempt at hostility.
The clip had the strange warmth common to the best Playground Insults: two people trying to be horrible while making it very obvious they liked one another.
