The B-Day game
A discussion about bidets inspired Scott to invent a new on-air game.
He asked Anna from Solihull a series of questions about her bathroom before trying to decide whether she owned a bidet.
Scott confidently declared “B-Day”, only for Anna to reveal that she did not have one.
He accepted that the format might need further development.
The Birthday Game: Debbie
Debbie from Sheffield turned 60 and described herself as a train enthusiast.
She particularly loved steam trains and had once travelled from Sheffield to Spain by rail, stopping in Lyon, Barcelona, Madrid and Seville.
Debbie wanted 1980s music, especially the Police.
Her first spin was Eurythmics’ There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart). Although it came from the right decade, it was not one of her favourites.
The second was Rihanna and Jay-Z’s Umbrella. Debbie rejected it because she was not a Rihanna fan.
Her compulsory final song was Take That’s Pray, number one in 1993.
Debbie was delighted with Take That and said the third-spin gamble had paid off.
Christmas chocolates in July
Scott noticed supermarkets putting large Christmas tubs of chocolates on sale in July.
One explanation was that the tubs were being marketed as end-of-term gifts for teachers rather than as the beginning of Christmas itself.
Scott said they were banned from his house because he would find and eat them even if Sam tried to hide them.
Marisha Wallace’s Spinterview
West End star Marisha Wallace joined Scott for the second celebrity Spinterview.
The pair discussed her stage career, vocal power and the physical demands of musical theatre while cycling through a specially chosen playlist.
Scott framed the feature as part of Radio 2’s Let’s Move It campaign and continued the format introduced with Will Young.
