With Scott Mills away, Chappers takes over and revisits some of the show’s most memorable moments, including the legendary Glasgow University names call and the infamous Pizza Guy prank calls.
This episode is a best-of compilation anchored by two classic Scott Mills Show pranks that had become fan favourites by 2006.
The first feature revisits Scott’s investigative call to Glasgow University’s Computing Science Department, where he posed as someone updating a contacts list and asked staff to fill in the surnames of their colleagues. The department turned out to be genuinely blessed with perfectly real but comedy-gold names: Professor Muffie Callerr, lecturer Peter Dickman, David S. Manlove, W. Paul Cockshot, and technician Sandy Beavers. Scott’s deadpan delivery as he verified each increasingly unlikely name made the bit work—the staff member on the receiving end seemed genuinely unbothered, confirming each ridiculous surname without apparent embarrassment.
The second major clip features the Pizza Guy, introduced as Scott’s “nemesis”—a takeaway worker known for extreme rudeness and foul language (heavily bleeped throughout). The compilation strings together multiple calls where the pizza shop employee responds to absurd customer requests with creative profanity and bafflement. One caller asks about ordering liver and pineapple pizza; another tests the staff member with basic maths (12 minus 6); a third simply asks “Do you deliver?” The Pizza Guy’s bewildered, aggressively rude responses became the stuff of listener legend.
Chappers frames these clips as highlights of the Scott Mills Show’s catalogue, acknowledging their enduring appeal while warning listeners that the Pizza Guy segment contains heavy swearing, even with bleeps applied.
