I can't believe practically eight or nine months after Zane Lowe went in to the studio asking Scott if he'd 'got milk' me and my friend still joke about that. Whenever we talk about Zane we mention milk, haha.

Good lord, Your Call is only half hour, not three hours. If every caller was live, we'd be there for hours trying to get a listener to finish their request. The whole point of the pre-records is to sound slick. Not all callers are pre-recorded, infact when Sara fills in I think all her requesters are live (or she's just poor at cutting them off in time, haha). The team don't work all morning and afternoon just to work during 4pm and 7pm. Those who text in, and are lucky enough, get a call back the next day, or the next week. In this day and age, with people taking offence to anything, using pre-recorded callers is the safest way to go.

Poor Mary, what next, gutted that Paul O'Grady records Thursday and Friday's shows at the start of the week? Or that Big Brother has a minute or two delay? Hehe.

Seriously though, it's your favourite bit of the show?

lol yes, I know - but I do like it!

I realised that there is an element of pre-recording in any "live" phone in show - my ex was a radio dj and he did a request show, but it was almost live - he would take the calls during the show, edit them and put them out five minutes later, and occasionally a completely live one got thrown in for good measure. So it was partly prerecorded, but even then only by minutes! So is that how Scott does it, or is it all prepared and recorded in a lump, with just the links live? Because if so, I just think it is stupid for him to keep urging listeners to call in at five to six. But perhaps his listeners are just sticking to the levels of naivety they have shown in other circumstances, and believe everything they hear!

And Paul O'Grady and Big Brother can do what they like, I have never watched either!

I think that's more a BBC Radio issue.

Where did he work? It doesn't mean all of Scott's callers are pre-recorded either. You do get callers talking about something discussed in the entertainment news.

Like I said, it's a mix. What is good about Your Call is that they all have a story to tell, or are nuts. You wouldn't get that if people just rang in and were plonked on-air. Infact it's the only reason I don't moan about it, because sometimes there are good anecdotes.

Ah, I always put you down as more of a Richard and Judy fan.

Well however they do it, I like it. And no, not Richard and Judy either, although I used to watch This Morning when they did that if I was home. I don't bother any more, since they left. I just plain don't watch much telly, I think! Apart from CBeebies. Balamory is on now.........
