Scott and the team take over the breakfast show while Chris Moyles is on holiday, launching a new prediction quiz called “Oh! What’s Occurring” — and Beccy proves to be a surprisingly good guesser despite not understanding the jokes along the way.
With Chris Moyles away for two weeks, Scott Mills and the team run the BBC Radio 1 breakfast show. The centrepiece is the debut of “Oh! What’s Occurring,” a new prediction game where contestants must guess the outcome of three pre-recorded scenarios.
The first scenario involves Vicki from Radio One Online, a massive Mariah Carey fan, receiving a prank call from Mariah herself — who is apparently terrible at pranking. Travis and Beccy must predict how long Vicki stays on the phone. Mariah, posing as “Lorraine Jackson” from HSBC security, delivers a bumbling fake warning about an overdue balance, but Vicki quickly suspects something is wrong. Beccy guesses one minute 20 seconds and wins the round when the actual time is 44 seconds.
The second round tests whether five people on the street will laugh at Pete Tong’s favourite joke: “Two nuns in a bath — one says ‘where’s the soap?’ — the other says ‘does it rather, doesn’t it?'” Beccy guesses two people will laugh; two do. She wins again, though she herself doesn’t understand why the joke is funny and spends the segment trying unsuccessfully to get an explanation.
The final round involves counting how many times David Hasselhoff says his own name during a five- or six-minute phone interview. He mentions “the Hoff,” “Hasselhoff.com,” “Hoff space,” “Hoff festival,” and “Hasselhoff capital” repeatedly while promoting his website and various projects. Joe Cole guesses 16 times; the actual count is 11. Beccy’s guess of 11 wins her the quiz 3–0, despite her confusion about the soap joke lingering throughout.
