Trevor Nelson had a bit of fun at his own expense when he revealed he’d tried to sort extra tickets for U2’s upcoming BBC performance for his “favourite, favourite best” colleague. He admitted he’d gone “straight to see the boss straight off the show” to ask, but insisted it hadn't worked: “I didn't want any favourites… you're not going to get any.” Listeners were pointed towards the BBC’s shows and tools page to enter the ballot themselves before the deadline of 11:59pm on 29 October.
Listen: No favouritism over U2 tickets
Wednesday’s Three Seconds To Name went to Atlantic Star, after a cryptic clue of “celestial seafaring” sent listeners hunting for a star-and-sea connection. Charlie from Bedford was first with the right answer, though Trevor also gave a shout-out to Glyn for an earlier correct guess. Caller Mark picked Secret Lovers as his prize track and used his moment on air to send love to his wife Juliet and his colleagues at work.
Travel presenter Kirsten O’Brien popped into the studio between bulletins for a chat with Trevor, reminiscing about her 50th birthday when friends sang her a rendition of You Got The Love. The Old School Run brought a flood of listener voice notes, including Frank from Newton Abbot recovering from a disco night in Torquay and Liz from Solihull declaring Trevor “a groovy, groovy guy.”
