Trevor Nelson spent much of the afternoon chasing that day's mystery act in Five Seconds to Name, teasing listeners with the cryptic clue "utmost clergy" before Michael from Whittlebury rang in as the only correct caller, identifying the answer as Maxi Priest.
Listen: Michael's big win
Michael used his moment on air to reveal he'd only won the game three times in four years, calling it "a big moment" before dedicating his song choice, Cat Stevens' Wild World, to his wife Caroline. He also shared a charming bit of family rivalry, explaining how his wife has been smashing personal bests in early morning swimming sessions, once managing 64 lengths before 7.30am.
Trevor dug deep into his own record collection for the Trevor Trove segment, unearthing a lesser-known track called Just Us by Two Tons of Fun, the group who later became the Weather Girls of It's Raining Men fame. He admitted he'd barely known of their earlier material, calling the harmonies "a complete iconic anthem" in miniature and dedicating the track to his friend Norman Jay.
The Old School Run brought its usual flurry of nostalgic voicemails, including one from a teacher in California and funk fans reminiscing about aerobics classes and dancefloor moves to Kandinda's Jingo.
Looking ahead, Trevor flagged that Donny Osmond is booked in as a guest on the Sara Cox Breakfast Show.
