The funniest moment of Greg James's Friday show came when newsreader Callum Leslie finally got to recount recording his long-promised CBBC bedtime story, after his video hit a million views. Greg had "secret" behind-the-scenes audio and even a mock report card, reportedly from the "boss of CBBC" – a very demanding five-year-old – who said Callum "did such a brilliant job… I even heard someone say, wow, he's a one-take wonder." Callum admitted he'd ironed his pyjamas specially: "If I'm on television, my mom sees creased anything, I'll get in a lot of trouble."
Elsewhere, the week's listener quiz reached its final, with captain Amy beating bride-to-be Gina to the title after a Glastonbury-ticket question sealed it, winning the right to hear Britney Spears' Baby One More Time rather than Gina's chosen Lose Yourself. Amy used her victory lap to champion vet nurses everywhere, a theme she'd run with all week.
Friday's Wrong-uns contestant was Sam from Chichester, a kitchen designer about to play "flowerman" at his best mates' wedding – literally dancing down the aisle throwing petals – who gave gloriously wrong answers including "an ant wearing a sombrero" and "a spaceship" for Lewis Hamilton's racing seat.
Greg also looked back on the week's guests, including Florence Pugh calling Big John for "Sit Down, Stand Up," and Alison Hammond getting a translator-aided reaction to her radio award nomination. Andrew Garfield was confirmed for Thursday, and the "Who Does That?" feature returns Monday.
