2006
A look back at Scott Mills's BBC Radio 1 show in 2006, covering listener stories, phone-ins, celebrity interviews, pranks and the show's own competitions, auditions and charity antics from that year.
Scott clears down the Flirt Divert line with the weekend's best attempts to chat up potential dates, then addresses tabloid rumours about him appearing on Dancing on Ice. [...]
Scott and the team work through a fresh batch of Flirt Divert messages, featuring an angry woman whose clothes have gone missing and a confusing domestic dispute involving a dog and a mysterious caller named Monica. [...]
Scott sends Laura into a public library armed only with a whoopee cushion, tasking her to get thrown out using the classic fart gag — but the librarians prove remarkably unfazed by her efforts. [...]
Scott has a listener snooping around a mystery celebrity's house doing painting and decorating work — but the catch is the celebrity herself is listening in the whole time, and she's about to have some fun with what he's willing to do. [...]
Scott's classic two-restaurant confusion prank, where he calls one takeaway, takes their order, then connects them to a second restaurant on the line — resulting in complete chaos over an aromatic duck that nobody wants to cook. [...]
Laura attempts to ring up people across Europe to find out about their World Cup songs — but armed only with an internet translator, the results are hilariously garbled and mortifying. [...]
Scott's mum finally got her own back after weeks of Scott winding her up with gullible pranks, enlisting help from his Radio 1 boss and Jo Whiley to construct an elaborate fake scandal designed to make Scott squirm. [...]
A listener called Natalie shares one of the most mortifying stories the show had heard in ages — involving an unfortunate bathroom situation at a new boyfriend's house, a plastic bag, and a note left on the kitchen table. [...]
Laura takes to the streets as a self-appointed social vigilante to tackle a pressing domestic injustice: a 15-year-old boy who's persistently late for his family's six o'clock dinner. [...]
Scott plays a cunning version of the I Love You Game where a caller named Tom tries to get his sister-in-law Claire to say "I love you"—but Claire's been primed in advance to flirt outrageously, leaving Tom convinced she's genuinely coming on to him until the reveal. [...]
