A running theme here is revisiting old material from Scott's Radio 1 years with Chris Stark, from classic games and pranks to the Tap End archive, often replayed or reopened during the Radio 1 afternoon show and its podcast.
Scott and Chris rang businesses near Glastonbury pretending to arrange celebrity backstage demands, culminating in “Kim Kardashian” requesting around 200 fresh fish fingers. [...]
Stephen Fry recalled being taken off Radio 1 in 1982, explained how “spuffle” spread through voiceover studios and was pitched an unlikely Taylor Swift collaboration at Big Weekend. [...]
Chris returned from Bali to discover his automatic email reply had apparently committed him to a four-hour Basildon DJ set and opening a Sheffield bakery dressed as “Chris Pasty”. [...]
A heatwave archive edition revived Scott's home cooling tip, but one successful ice cube under his shorts became a whole cup in the studio and left both him and Chris worrying more about numbness than temperature. [...]
Convinced restaurant musicians must make a fortune, Chris put on a sombrero, a yellow Hulk Hogan moustache and blue sunglasses, sang pop songs at unsuspecting diners and discovered the business model produced precisely no money. [...]
Chris became the emergency third pilot at British Airways' Heathrow training centre, wore Top Gun sunglasses, made an uncertain cabin announcement and eventually put a 747 simulator down with a landing nobody would have applauded. [...]
Another archive week opened with Chris deciding chick-lit looked easy, adopting Joe Jonas as a pen name and producing The Demon Head Mistress before his overheated prose was turned into a track by The Streets. [...]
A 2010 Rihanna interview returned from the archive, covering Loud, Battleship, Eminem, Katy Perry's Las Vegas hen party and the moment Scott won permission to call her RiRi. [...]
An archive double bill followed Chris from an unsuccessful Batman arena audition to his homemade reality series It's Chris, complete with Duggsy's shaky camerawork and an awkward BBC commissioning meeting. [...]
Scott revisited his first proper encounter with Gemma Collins, from her BMW sales expertise and elaborate night-out routine to the moment hearing Radio 1 talk about her made her feel she had finally made it. [...]
