Scott discovers Undressed
An evening intended for quality television collapses when Scott discovers the dating show Undressed. Strangers remove one another’s clothes, spend half an hour together on a bed and follow instructions displayed on a screen before separately deciding whether to continue the date.
Scott finds the format painfully awkward but impossible to stop watching. Listeners admit that they have fallen into the same trap, adding it to a crowded television landscape already containing Celebs Go Dating and Celebrity First Dates.
The only release by DJ BJ
Nineteen-year-old Joe confesses that, at 15, he tried to imitate a talented schoolfriend who made electronic music. In a couple of hours he assembled a one-minute track, uploaded it through his friend’s account and considered using the artist name DJ BJ, derived from his old username Blue Joe.
Joe immediately abandoned music but cannot remove the upload because he has forgotten every login detail. Scott plays it nationally: several unrelated tracks collide, a euphoric breakdown appears without warning and the song ends abruptly. Joe refuses to reveal its searchable title, but accepts that his teenage production has finally reached Radio 1.
Blossoms represent Stockport
Blossoms follow their Live Lounge with Real or No Real. The band discusses food served on increasingly unsuitable objects, a six-foot-four cow called Blossom and Stockport’s pride in its most successful new group.
The suggestion that Stockport Council uses “Charlemagne” as its hold music is false, but the council has no music at all, leaving an obvious opportunity. Tom Ogden recalls asking the authority for financial support when the band was starting out, while Scott recommends that Blossoms visit his bridge at Fleet Services.
