2007
A look back at Scott Mills’ Radio 1 show in 2007, covering daily games, silly surveys and celebrity guests, from supermarket pranks and Glastonbury wedding stunts to Live Lounge visits from the likes of McFly and Mel C.
Scott is booked to play darts at Lakeside with Bobby George, and the team discuss embarrassing airplane songs, Britney Spears' health scare, and a bizarre Hannah Montana concert moment that's gone viral on YouTube. [...]
In a chaotic and hilarious special edition of the Live Lounge renamed the "Livestock Lounge," Scott is blindfolded and tasked with identifying mystery animals by kissing them—with predictably comedic results involving a turkey, a guinea pig, and a singing toy goat. [...]
Scott unveils a genuinely bizarre pointless survey asking listeners if they'd kiss a goat that looked exactly like Britney Spears but still made goat noises—and then measures Fran's chest as the "big boobie cookie lady" continues her quest for bigger breasts through Japanese supplements. [...]
Scott conducts a scientific (if chaotic) experiment to discover how many chocolate liqueurs it takes to push someone over the drink-drive limit, with willing volunteer Laura as test subject. [...]
Scott launches his own religious cult after watching a Channel 4 documentary, and the Pointless Survey of the day asks the nation what Britney Spears smells like—with hilariously specific results. [...]
Mika uncovers some unexpectedly risqué items hidden in Jo Whiley's wardrobe, Scott repeatedly denies planting photos of himself in Jo's bedroom, and the American Dial-a-Carol service gets increasingly irritable after being overwhelmed by Radio 1 listeners. [...]
Scott discovers what he believes is the ultimate phrase to silence a busy public place after hearing a woman shout it at London Gateway Services, and tests it with listeners and celebrity guest Lorraine Kelly — while also checking on Fran's progress with the F-Cup Cookie experiment. [...]
The Sugababes drop by to chat about accidentally splitting up during an interview in Japan, while Scott launches the ridiculous "Big Booby Cookie" challenge with a volunteer named Fran—and keeps getting distracted by Kate Lawler making noise in the next studio. [...]
Scott resurrects the Dutch florist game with a twist—getting Amsterdam florists to rap current pop songs on floral greeting cards—while callers ring in with disastrous Celine Dion stories and Scott mysteriously becomes irresistible to Eastern European women. [...]
The Florist Game travels to Amsterdam to test whether Dutch florists will write absolutely anything on a card—including rap lyrics—while Scott campaigns hard to get a miserable indie song to number one at Christmas. [...]
