Sara Cox kicked off the show with a confession: she accidentally blocked a garage workshop after forgetting to hand over her car's security fob, leaving staff unable to move either car. "So sorry and thank you to Pam and the Poodles," she said on air, naming the garage owner and her dogs. The story snowballed as listeners piled in with their own blocking-in disasters, including one from Gary in Huddersfield who said athlete Chris Eubank once blocked him in at Bradford College and "apologised", and another from a listener in Ayrshire who had to crawl out of a Men at Work gig on their hands and knees after being told mid-song to move their car.

Edward Enninful was the big guest, talking about his new Tate Britain exhibition on 90s art and fashion. He told Sara about being scouted as a teenager on the tube by stylist Simon Foxton, becoming fashion director of ID magazine at 18, and his close friendships with Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and Rihanna, who he said "came to my wedding, walked in as I was reciting my vows" while heavily pregnant. He also described his family fleeing Ghana in the 1980s and his mother Grace's pride when he later became the first black, first male editor of British Vogue.

Owain Wyn Evans gave an update on his Children in Need cycle challenge, revealing a rotator cuff injury with just 12 days to go before setting off.
