Will Manning stepped in for half-term week while Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby were off, and spent the morning on a mission to ban one particular bit of small talk. With the clocks having gone back, Will made listeners promise not to ask colleagues "did you enjoy the extra hour in bed" today, joking "I actually can't bear to hear it" when a jokey post about the darker evenings was read out.
The debate of the morning came from a friend's theory that you can't wear a whole new outfit to work in one go and have to "phase it in" gradually through the week. Listeners were split down the middle: Maggie from Walter Hampson insisted she wears everything straight away, "come on, I'm just a girl," while others admitted to easing new clothes in piece by piece so colleagues don't make a fuss.

Will brought in TikTok's "Weatherman Gigi" to give the whole country, not just London, his trademark one-minute "what to wear" forecast, complete with a stern warning to avoid suede shoes in the Monday rain. Gigi is booked to return all week with daily styling advice.

Kemi Rogers popped in before 10am to recap a gruelling week filming scare mazes for TV, admitting she'd never watched a horror film before being thrown into one, saying "my cortisol is high" afterwards. Chat also covered Harry Styles' new video, Drake's 400-guest 40th birthday party with the Backstreet Boys, and Capital's Cash Call climbing to a £666,000 Halloween jackpot.
