9 October 2007: Katie Brand & The Children’s Entertainment Challenge

 

Katie Brand joins as the mystery guest with wine in hand, and Scott and Chappers attempt to become children’s entertainers at a London nursery—with mixed results involving a cow costume, a magic frog, and some surprisingly critical three-year-olds.

Katie Brand, a comedian and sketch performer, arrives as the week’s mystery guest on the second week of the mystery guest game, where team members compete to book the best guests for prize money. Brand discusses her new ITV2 sketch show launching on 19 October, which features her comedic interpretations of celebrities like Kate Winslet and Kate Moss in “nightmare” scenarios, alongside original characters. She’s previously been known for a Lily Allen parody that aired on the show.

The main feature of the episode centres on Scott and Chappers’ attempt to entertain three and four-year-old children at a London nursery, dressed as “Silly Scott” (a cow) and “Cheeky Chappers” (a magic frog). Scott plays a hand-key colour-changing magic trick that confuses the audience, while their comedy material—including a joke about why cows have bells—falls largely flat with the young children. Chappers gets heckled by a three-year-old who questions whether he’s a “real frog,” and the pair struggle to maintain control of the audience. They attempt to recover with a buzzer cushion gag, which performs better, before ending with a flower prop that releases a spray—described as “out of control” on air.

The episode also features the continued “F-Cup Cookie” segment, where listeners have sent in Japanese cookies purported to enhance bust size. Scott and the team discuss the science behind the product and seek a volunteer to test them.
