The Going Home midweek film slot got a shake-up as Ali Plum debuted a brand new game called Flip the Script, reading famous movie lines backwards for Katie Thistleton and Emil Franchi to untangle. Mean Girls, Star Wars, Toy Story and The Dark Knight all came up, with Emil pipping Katie to victory 3-1 after nailing “The Dark Knight” from a garbled “Why so serious?” Plum, still smarting from being ribbed about “last week’s terrible laughs,” insisted: “You had a perfectly adequate time.”
Jack Saunders dropped by to help pick the 5.30 anthem, built around listeners’ “audible glimmers” — songs that hook you from the first note. He aced a guessing game of intros (Black Eyed Peas, One Direction, Birdy’s “Skinny Love,” Foundations) before championing My Chemical Romance’s “Welcome to the Black Parade” as the winning pick. Saunders also teased that night’s Radio 1’s New Music Live coverage from Cardiff, hinting at backstage gossip from Fat Dog and co: “Some things did definitely happen backstage.”
Elsewhere, Katie and Emil revealed Mr England organisers are short of contestants and jokingly tried to recruit Saunders, who said being called “hunky” “pleases me greatly.” Traitors fever was also building ahead of Wednesday’s launch, with Sebastian Croft from this year’s celebrity series confirmed for an Access All Apps phone-snoop segment next Tuesday, and listeners invited to suggest what to search for.
