The second-least distracting show
Scott continued joking about the programme being described as the world’s second-least distracting radio show.
Listeners immediately contradicted the claim by admitting that the music and conversation regularly pulled them away from work.
The Birthday Game: Sarah
Sarah from North Yorkshire turned 50.
She had spent years baking cakes, biscuits and scones for family, colleagues and her children’s birthdays, including Barbie, car and Stranger Things designs.
Sarah was saving her annual leave for a holiday to Cape Verde and planned a bottomless brunch in Northallerton with friends before travelling.
She wanted 1980s music or a large pop record she could sing along to.
Her first spin was Timbaland featuring Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake with Give It to Me. Sarah rejected it.
The second was Cliff Richard’s Congratulations. She passed again.
Her compulsory third song was LMFAO’s Party Rock Anthem.
Sarah accepted it immediately as the upbeat birthday track she had wanted.
Scott remembered dancing to it during Let’s Dance for Sport Relief with Olly Murs and David Hasselhoff.
Kathy’s health tips
Scott discovered a social-media account offering unusual beauty and wellbeing advice.
One tip involved repeatedly massaging the temples and cheeks to create glowing skin.
He decided to experiment with the techniques before his wedding.
Joost Klein
Joost Klein joined Scott as the road to Eurovision continued.
His Dutch entry Europapa had broken streaming records in the Netherlands.
Joost said the scale of the reaction felt surreal and repeatedly described himself as honoured.
He and producer Tantu Beats had deliberately created something immediate, loud and recognisably Dutch.
The song combined fast electronic music with a more emotional story beneath the colourful performance.
Handover
Scott handed over to Sara Cox after playing Europapa and previewing Owain Wyn Evans joining the Music Police.
