Katie Thistleton and Emil Franchi couldn't resist a bit of Halloween fun on Going Home, launching a new game called Fancy Guess where listeners phone in clues about their costumes for the pair to work out with yes/no questions. Listener Ellie had Katie and Emil convinced she was going as Shrek after revealing she was a green, funny, talking fictional character, only to reveal she was actually an inflatable Rex from Toy Story. "You knew you let us down the Shrek path didn't you, Ellie," laughed Katie, as Emil admitted "I'm glad I'd have been annoyed if you were Shrek because he's not an animal."

The duo also pressed on with their ongoing mission to create a modern Halloween anthem, continuing a bit started last week with Vick Hope by reworking Adele and Nicole Kidman's Tune of the Week into a spooky parody. Katie played back a clip of her and Vic recording ghoulish vocals, including the now-running joke lyric "I feel like a ghoul," before asking listeners to send in spooky sound effects via WhatsApp to help the Radio 1 production team finish the track.
Elsewhere Emil got listeners writing football puns for Harry Kane's potential Ballon d'Or speech, with "I've had a fo-ball" among the entries read out, while the pair's 5.30 Anthem challenge turned up an unexpected rave classic in Ultra Beat's Pretty Green Eyes after a Halloween-themed "green" song request.
