The morning after Race Across the World
Scott returned after the first episode of Celebrity Race Across the World had aired.
He had watched from his sofa while reliving the tension of the journey with Sam.
Listeners sent reactions to the contestants, the route and the decisions made during the opening stage.
Susie Dent
Susie Dent joined the programme.
Scott celebrated her extraordinary knowledge of words, definitions and the hidden histories behind everyday language.
The conversation explored expressions people used without knowing where they came from.
Jay’s Quiz
Susie played Jay’s Quiz, the breakfast-show challenge that listeners had specifically asked Scott to retain while covering Zoe.
Her vocabulary expertise made her an intimidating contestant, although the questions still created moments of uncertainty.
Scott enjoyed placing one of Britain’s best-known word experts under the pressure of a live radio quiz.
More forgotten adverts
Listeners continued sending slogans and jingles from old television adverts.
Many could remember every word despite not having seen the adverts for decades.
