Laura’s obsessed with a new BBC3 wedding show where a groom picks his bride’s dress without her input — and it goes about as well as you’d expect. Plus the Flirt Divert answer phone returns with more awkward dating messages.
The show opens with a clip from Zane Lowe that featured the Scott and Chappers theme tune playing in the background of a scene with a little girl — a funny accidental TV moment that the listeners spotted and reported in. Scott and the team laugh about how the video definitely isn’t suitable to leave playing for small children unsupervised.
Laura then reveals her boyfriend is taking her out for a “posh burger” meal that evening, and there’s speculation it might be a proposal night. The conversation quickly derails into a debate about whether you can get burgers wrapped in lettuce leaves instead of buns (apparently a low-carb option), which prompts texts from listeners across the UK reporting where they’ve seen this available. One caller cheekily suggests it’s a “southern fairy” thing.
The main feature focuses on a new BBC3 wedding show Laura loves called “Four Weddings” (though the transcript garbles much of this). A bride named Katie is having her dress revealed — one her fiancé Sam has already picked out and paid for without her input. Katie is visibly unhappy with the simple white sleeveless dress he’s chosen, doing deep breathing exercises in front of the mirror and complaining it’s “not classy” and “not subtle.” The shop assistant tries to cheer her up by pointing out how popular the dress is, but Katie remains unimpressed, even delivering a slightly unhinged monologue about him having to love her forever. Scott uses this as evidence that “all girls are a little bit mad.”
The Flirt Divert answer phone feature runs again with embarrassing dating messages. One awkward caller has clearly had too much to drink on a date and left a slurred, apologetic message asking the person to still call them. The team jokes sympathetically about the universal experience of getting drunk and making a fool of yourself on a night out.
