Scott had a public train meltdown
Scott arrived with the kind of story he normally preferred hearing from other listeners.
On a train to Wolverhampton, three girls near him had shaken or sprayed a bottle of Coke.
The drink went over Scott and another passenger.
Scott lost his temper.
He messaged Chris afterwards to say he had properly “lost it”.
The thing which worried him most was not the argument itself.
It was the possibility somebody had filmed the whole thing and would upload a video titled something like Scott Mills meltdown on train.
Listeners then shared their own public moments where irritation had briefly overwhelmed normal behaviour.
The cockerel nominations got stronger
Mary’s bird still needed a name.
One particularly strong nomination involved a boyfriend whose behaviour around another woman and a holiday had left the caller feeling completely humiliated.
Scott described him as a serious contender for top cock.
The final decision was now expected later in the week.
Funny Business found Well Hung and Tender
Funny Business also returned with another perfectly real company name.
Well Hung and Tender was connected with beef.
The person answering the call behaved completely normally.
Scott and Chris did not.
The show had spent years discovering that agriculture and meat businesses were particularly rich territory for accidental innuendo.
This was one of the clearest examples.
Scott decided to support Wales
The main new storyline began with rugby.
Scott’s partner was Welsh and Scott was due to attend Wales v Ireland in Cardiff, the match which could secure Wales the Grand Slam.
Scott said he was going to support Wales.
Chris thought simply wearing red was not enough.
If Scott wanted to commit properly, he needed to sing the Welsh national anthem.
That meant learning Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau.
Phonetic Welsh entered Radio 1
Scott did not speak Welsh.
Chris began supplying phonetic versions of the lyrics.
Listeners from Wales sent corrections almost immediately.
The challenge was not simply memorising the sounds.
Scott wanted to sing loudly enough in the Principality Stadium that nobody around him would realise he was relying on emergency phonetics.
The deadline was Saturday.
By the end of Tuesday, he was nowhere near ready.
The programme had found its next multi-day project.
