Greg James's Radio 1 Breakfast show introduced a new way to take part in Ask The Nation, with listeners able to vote through the BBC Sounds app for the first time. Tuesday's dilemma, sent in by former producer Will, asked whether it's acceptable to enjoy a warm toilet seat left by a stranger in a public loo. Callers were largely unconvinced, though several said they didn't mind the warmth if it came from a partner. The app vote result was announced live: 67.5% of those who took part said no.
Elsewhere on the show, Greg continued the "irrationally offended" feature from the previous day, with listeners and the team sharing gripes including people re-pressing lift and pedestrian crossing buttons, and one message revealing a hand-drawn portrait sent in by a listener called Chloe, which Greg said he'd kept in his notebook.
The daily quiz was played with vet receptionist Gina, whose team, dubbed "the Hooligans plus Gina", scored 15 points, matching the previous day's total and keeping them on track for Friday's final.
In the news round-up, Greg discussed Niall Horan's ongoing tour, including a Glasgow gig where he tweaked his setlist, and shared a listener's story about being repeatedly "swooped" by an aggressive magpie in Australia. His tune of the week was Taylor Swift's Patient Zero, prompting him to replay part of Monday's Dakota Johnson interview. Greg also flagged Wednesday's guest, Alison Hammond, and plugged that night's Radio 1 New Music Live event in Cardiff featuring Lime Garden and other acts.
