Football throat

Listeners sent recordings of themselves attempting to speak after celebrating goals.
Scott described the condition as “football throat” and asked for remedies from people who had lost their voices.
Bring back Oops Upside Your Head
The programme discussed the dance in which people sit in a line on the floor and move backwards and forwards to The Gap Band’s Oops Upside Your Head.
Listeners argued that it should return at Christmas parties, weddings and office celebrations.
Others remembered the discomfort of sitting on sticky nightclub floors while trying to keep up.
The Birthday Game: Tom
Tom believed his 5 December birthday was just far enough from Christmas to stop people combining his presents.
His first spin was The Flying Pickets’ a cappella version of Only You. He respected the talent involved but said it was not for him.
The second was Justin Bieber’s Sorry, which Tom also rejected because he was “not a Belieber”.
His final spin landed on Mr Blobby.
Tom said he had loved Noel’s House Party and Mr Blobby as a child, so accepted the novelty record enthusiastically.
Scott warned that the nation might hate him, before listeners began texting in large numbers asking for the song to be stopped.
Handover
Scott handed over after admitting that Mr Blobby would not be everyone’s idea of an ideal Monday-afternoon record.
