Britain prepares for the coronation
Scott asked listeners to report unusual coronation displays appearing in their towns and villages.
One particularly memorable display involved a spare toilet being used as a throne, with a mannequin slumped on it beneath a King Charles mask and crown.
Listeners also described knitted royal figures and Coldstream Guards in Holmes Chapel.
Scott heard from somebody planning a CR tattoo, although the initials also matched his own name.
The Birthday Game: Lisa
Lisa from Suffolk turned 55 and planned a takeaway with her eldest daughter, afternoon tea at the weekend and a visit to the beach with her dogs.
She liked 1980s music, George Michael and Lewis Capaldi.
Her first spin was Calvin Harris’s Summer, featuring Calvin himself on vocals. Lisa rejected it.
The second was Oasis’s Some Might Say, the first single released from (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?
Lisa was tempted but chose to gamble again.
Her compulsory final song was All Saints’ cover of Lady Marmalade, released as a double A-side with Under the Bridge.
Scott had completely forgotten the cover existed, while Lisa accepted the result.
The Music Police recap
With the main Music Police investigations paused until after Eurovision, Scott revisited recent cases.
Lisa from Bath’s extremely short Spanish-sounding clue had been identified as Vibe Chemistry’s Loco, rather than Rupert Holmes’ Escape (The Piña Colada Song).
B’s remembered line — “Mama, I love you. Daddy, I hate you” — prompted thousands of correct messages.
The answer was Pink’s God Is a DJ.
Scott praised listeners for maintaining an almost perfect Music Police success rate and invited more voice-note evidence for future investigations.
Coronation travel messages
King Charles and Queen Camilla had recorded a special safety message for more than 2,000 railway stations.
Graham Norton and Rylan also recorded Eurovision announcements for Merseyrail.
Scott joked that Rylan had progressed from barely using trains to becoming one of their official voices.
Handover
Scott handed over to Sara Cox after continuing to collect photographs of coronation displays.
