16 August 2024: Craig Revel Horwood, five-word weekends and Richie the living statue

 

Five-word weekends

Scott asked listeners to sum up their weekend plans in exactly five words.

The responses included birthdays, holidays, canoeing, concerts, cricket and training for the Yorkshire Three Peaks.

Scott offered his own five words after a busy week involving breakfast radio, Celebrity Race Across the World and the Janet Jackson interview.

Richie becomes a living statue

Richie Anderson had travelled to Hull to meet world-champion living statues for The One Show.

He was painted silver and transformed into a sailor.

Richie explained that members of the public immediately forgot normal boundaries around living statues, standing close to his face and announcing whenever they saw him breathe.

Scott and Tina demanded to see the photographs and agreed that the transformation was remarkably convincing.

Craig Revel Horwood

Craig joined Scott after another season judging Dancing with the Stars in Australia.

A photograph showed him taking part in a “shoey”: drinking prosecco from a dancer’s used plimsoll.

Craig said the drink itself was welcome but the footwear made the experience disgusting.

Scott and Craig’s history

Scott reminded Craig that ten years had passed since his crab dance on Strictly Come Dancing.

They also remembered the night Michael McIntyre’s television team entered Craig’s home and woke him in the early hours.

Retro adverts

Listeners continued supplying jingles from 1980s and 1990s adverts they could still sing perfectly.

Handover

Scott completed his first full week on breakfast and handed over after Craig’s appearance.
