Trevor Nelson opened his Radio 2 show by declaring production member Rosie "on strike" after she fluffed her lines in the opening jingle, teasing throughout the afternoon that she "will speak in two weeks' time" and would only communicate by clapping. The running gag became a feature of the whole show, with Trevor noting pointedly that the Trevor Trove clues "have been brilliant" since Rosie stopped talking.

The big musical moment came with a tribute to Amy Winehouse, as Trevor marked 20 years since Back to Black with a personal story about meeting her early in her career. "It's really weird, it's a really weird situation with me and Amy," he said, recalling giving her one of her first TV appearances and later interviewing her by phone after she missed an in-person slot on her birthday. He plugged a special Roundhouse concert recreation of the album, led by original producers Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi, airing on Radio 2 until Monday.
Three Seconds to Name provided the other highlight, with dozens of wrong guesses for Europe's The Final Countdown, including Aerosmith, Huey Lewis and Bon Jovi. The eventual winner was Susie, originally from Norfolk but calling in from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, who chatted about her unusual hobby making beaded pens and sent love back to "all the Seagull clan" in Norfolk. Andy in Wrexham was named as getting the cryptic clue first.
