Jason Mohammad was back covering for Owain Wyn Evans on Early Breakfast, and he came armed with gossip he wasn’t allowed to share. Fresh off filming “a celebrity television show” over the weekend, he teased that it was “probably the best one I’ve ever done,” adding that recording had to be paused more than once because things went so wrong – and so right. He couldn’t name the show or say when it airs, only that it’s “big” and due out “next year.”
Elsewhere, Mohammad ran his usual Step Back in Time quiz, with listeners including Julian in Christchurch and Doug the trucker correctly guessing 2003 from clues about Love Actually, Finding Nemo and Johnny Wilkinson’s World Cup drop goal. The morning’s big community feature was weekend wins, with a flood of listener stories – from Liam in Cardiff smashing his Cardiff half marathon PB to producer Kaylee bagging Glastonbury tickets on her first attempt, prompting Mohammad to angle, unsuccessfully, for an invite. Dean in Hebden Bridge said he was proud of his 10-year-old son Seb. Seb practised all week before going on Romesh Ranganathan’s Radio 2 show on Saturday to pitch his passion for steam trains, remembered every word and won the public vote.
The Rewinder workout-songs round saw honeymooners Rob and Rachel play along live from New Zealand, with Faithless’s “Insomnia” the correctly-guessed track. Pause for Thought came from Anglican priest Malcolm Doney, reflecting on the value of talking and listening.
