A simple email from Lizzie in Weston-super-Mare sent Monday's show into meltdown when she sent in a photo of a portrait she'd spotted on a pub wall of an elderly lady she reckoned bore an uncanny resemblance to Greg. He agreed instantly, dubbing himself "Granny Greg" for the rest of the show and posting the picture to Instagram, where even newsreader Joe weighed in with "yep, elegant, dignified." Greg vowed to recreate the look himself at some point, "dressed in knitwear, a lovely pink headscarf," cross-legged in an armchair.
The show also launched a new recurring bit, Who Does That? And Can I Talk To You Please?, kicking off with listener Tom's burning question about who keeps rearranging the cars on his local garage forecourt. Dealership bosses Matt and Helen, plus "supercar mover" Mike, phoned in with surprisingly detailed answers about valeting, test drives and stock turnover, though Tom admitted he remained "fairly skeptical."
Elsewhere, yesterday's quiz champion Alice, a dentist, swept the board with a perfect 17 points, prompting Greg to muse about switching dentists. There was also chat about Glastonbury 2027 line-up guesses (Fontaines DC, Taylor Swift and Robbie Williams in the "legend slot" were all touted), plus praise for Fontaines DC's new single Dopamine Chamber ahead of their Live Lounge Month appearance, with Blossoms officially opening the series at midday dressed, fittingly, as wedding guests.
