Joel Dommett had Ralph Little in the studio and couldn't resist digging up his earliest acting work, playing a clip of a 17-year-old Ralph as kickboxer Robbie in Children's Ward and then as Jonathan in a 2002 episode of Casualty. Ralph, laughing along, asked "what's going on with my voice?" after hearing his own strained Bristolian accent back. Joel also revealed that producer Jo had been sent to get coffees and come back smitten, reading out her text that Ralph was "quite fit," prompting Joel to tease her on air: "Do not flirt with the guests, ever, Jo."
Ralph used the chat to promote his new Channel 4 thriller Hunting Alice Bell, explaining his character is deliberately kept secret and that he doesn't appear until later episodes, alongside co-star Simon Pegg. He also told a story about being swept up by Oasis fans singing along to Half the World Away at Wembley last year, calling it "a privilege to be part of something that means so much to people."
Elsewhere, Pitch Your Passion saw Catherine make the case for motorcycle sprinting and Angela argue for life as an estate agent, with listeners voting Angela the winner. Family Three Tunes was won by Naomi with Bill Haley and his Comets, beating her sister Stephanie and nephew Ben. Travel presenter Sally Traffic also took some good-natured ribbing over her leather jacket and scarf, which Joel compared to a neck brace.
