Gary Davies presented Tuesday's Drivetime, prompted by news that six Welsh words and phrases have been added to the Oxford English Dictionary. Davies shared his own invented word, "scribbins", for the browned bits left in a roasting pan, and invited listeners to suggest their own words worthy of inclusion. Dozens responded with terms including "blurmy" (an overcast day), "throughgy" (a drive-through parking space), "snoozzle" (part snooze, part snuggle) and "cosifying" (making a room cosy for the evening).
The Radio 2 Pub Quiz returned to the Chilli Arms for a superheroes round, hosted with regular co-presenter Kirsten. Contestants included mother and daughter team "Fluffer Lumps", Linda and Steve, and Louise from Yorkshire, whose team was named "Yorkshire Puddings". Louise asked Kirsten for a signed photo for her daughter Alice, a fan of Kirsten's time in S Club. Both Kirsten and Louise finished the five-question round on three out of five. Davies confirmed Mark Goodier will host the quiz on Wednesday and Thursday.
The Radio 2 Jukebox feature returned with a Breaking Bad theme, marking 13 years since the show's finale, with listeners requesting tracks including Monty Python's "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life".
Davies also previewed his Breakfast Show duties for Wednesday and Thursday, revealing his guest on Wednesday will be Andy Bell of Erasure, discussing the band's new album. The show closed with listener shout-outs in the "Woo Crew" segment, including birthday and travel messages, before handing over to Jo Whiley at 7pm.
