Greg James spent part of Friday's show lobbying, on air, for the BBC control room to put the cricket on his studio television, insisting it was "broadcast critical". He thanked "Tim in the control room" and "Tony Wood" once it appeared, joking that listeners "wouldn't hear anything" without people like them keeping the station on air. Not everyone approved: Catherine in Guernsey wrote in to say that as a teacher she'd face "gross misconduct" for watching Wimbledon in class, prompting Greg to shrug that things are "a bit more loosey-goosey" at Radio 1.
The week's quiz reached its final, with team captain Alice beating Imran despite feeling unwell, winning with a correct answer about Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man role. Imran provided the moment of the week, revealing he once looked inside Cat's singer's mouth at a Mercury Awards afterparty to inspect her wisdom-tooth wound as her dentist, a story Greg called "the most Seamat story ever".
Listener Danny from Cardiff appeared for Wrong-uns after her partner Alid was voted a "wrong-un" by 68% of listeners for pouring milk straight from the jug into his tea. Danny herself scored 11 out of a possible mark on the quiz, enough for Greg to declare her an official wrong-un too, right down to her answer that Taylor Swift is married to Peter Andre.
Greg also recapped the week's big guests, including Jade discussing her Blue Planet 3 theme tune with Hans Zimmer, and Andrew Garfield having a go on the studio desk.
