Scott and the team revisit the question of which musical instruments make people more attractive, then send Laura onto the streets to ask members of the public to guess the age of the artists behind Scott and Chris’s drawings — with hilariously misjudged results.
The show opens with a continuation of a discussion about musical instruments and attraction. Using street interviews, Scott tests whether playing bass guitar, banjo, or bagpipes impresses people, with mixed results. The main feature of the episode centres on Scott and Chris’s amateur artwork. Both have drawn simple pictures — a cat, an owl, a crocodile — and Laura is dispatched to show these drawings to random members of the public and ask them to guess the artist’s age. The guesses for Scott and Chris’s work are wildly off the mark: one person estimates Scott’s cat was drawn by a three or four-year-old, while another guesses late 40s, and another says eighty years old. By contrast, when Laura shows people’s genuine children’s artwork, the guesses are much more accurate. The team finds the disparity between the actual estimates (three, four, five, six years old for real children) and the absurd guesses for their own work very funny. The episode also features the usual “Wallies” segment — voicemails from listeners — including a memorable message from a woman who leaves a somewhat odd and flirtatious message mentioning dressing up as a clown, and another voicemail featuring odd background noises that prompt commentary from the team.
