12 October 2009: An unwanted picture book and a call nobody wanted to see

 

Because you don’t want to see him

Scott produced a novelty picture book while Chappers was trying to read the sport. The images were deliberately difficult to ignore and caused Chappers to lose his place, even though he insisted that the serious sports stories themselves were not funny.

The book became more effective each time Scott revealed another page, leaving Chappers caught between maintaining a professional sports bulletin and reacting to what had been placed directly in his eyeline.

Dear Scott

Listener correspondence picked up on the team’s recent features, the Posh Radio 4 characters and Timmy Trendy. The messages were explained and answered rather than simply read, with the team correcting several listeners’ assumptions.

Oh, What’s Occurring?

The prediction game used another uncomfortable call and a counting challenge. Beccy and Chappers estimated the result before the full clips revealed how long the participant tolerated the situation.
