Chappers reveals he’s obtained the mobile phone number of a genuine A-list Hollywood celebrity and calls them live on air — leading to one of the show’s most audacious “A-List: Who the Hell Are You?” games yet.
The episode centres on an extended guessing game in which Scott and the team attempt to identify a mystery caller without asking directly who they are. Chappers insists the number belongs to a real A-list actress, not a wind-up. After multiple failed guesses — ranging from Cameron Diaz and Nicole Kidman to Meg Ryan and Sharon Stone — the team eventually narrows down that the caller is an American actress in her thirties who has worked in major films. The reveal comes as a genuine shock: it’s Demi Moore’s actual mobile number. Scott is visibly stunned, repeatedly asking Chappers how he obtained it (Chappers refuses to say), and the team plays back the original call recording to confirm what they’ve just done.
The second half of the show moves into lighter territory. The team discusses message alert tones, with listeners calling in to share theirs; Scott plays a memorable clip of Jo Whiley screaming on a roller coaster, which apparently features on someone’s phone. The episode closes with Scott revealing he’s discovered how to reprogram the office phone’s voicemail greetings — he demonstrates by changing the Casualty department’s message to include his own commentary over the top.
The entire episode pulses with the unpredictable energy the show was known for: a mix of genuine surprise (the Demi Moore moment), affectionate silliness, and borderline-inappropriate office pranks.
