The big moment on Going Home came courtesy of Blossoms, fresh from a sweaty, oversubscribed Live Lounge session (complete with a surprise guest appearance from Declan McKenna). Joe and Tom from the band stuck around for a game of Red Flag, Green Flag, with Joe admitting he can't stand "white opaque foods" – eggs, cheese, milk, mayonnaise and yogurt all included – a confession listeners instantly branded a red flag. Tom didn't escape unscathed either, declaring his dislike of poppadoms, to widespread on-air disbelief.
Katie Thistleton and Emil Franchi spent much of the show trying to cheer up listeners who missed out on Glastonbury tickets, inviting suggestions for what else is happening on the same weekend next year – everything from village fetes in Kent to a Cyprus wedding and a silent disco tour in Glasgow. The pair also launched a nationwide hunt for proof that the "skirts over trousers" trend, spotted in Grazia, has reached all four UK nations, eventually confirming sightings in England, Wales and Scotland, though Northern Ireland remained elusive.
The celebrity "Who's In The Box" guessing game was solved in record time, with listeners correctly guessing Blossoms after just one clue – a rare quick win that Katie and Emil hope to repeat before Vick Hope returns to the show.
