Capital Summertime Ball 2024

[Starkey]

I've been listening to the show for around 2 years now, it's amazing. But my favourate feature on the show was always the flirt divert, it was just the funniest thing i'd ever heard on radio. Are they maybe saving clips up at the moment and they'll bring it back? It would be awesome, we should start a rally to get flirt divert on again regularly.. or even irregularly.

I don't think it will be coming back. I seem to remember hearing that the team had lost the sim card. Plus there was the fact that the number was so widely known that people weren't really being caught out any more. I also don't think that the BBC would bring back that feature just now with the number of complaints it has had for other reasons as it would be bound to get some complaints.

well it wouldn't cost anything to pick up a free sim, give the number out and check the messages every now and again

[JonathanEx]

Not the current economic climate, the current climate at the Beeb.

I couldnt see there being many complaints about it.

There isn't anything to complain about

They've done it before without complaints

If there was a problem with a message they don't play it

[JonathanEx]

Playing out phone messages without people on them knowing they were recorded for radio?

Yes, it may have been fine before, but everyone is on a much higher guard at present. Badly Bleeped TV went on for AGES before some nancy got pissy.

Why don't you have a go at Dear Scott? That might convince him.
