Chris Stark spent three hours at Fleet Services before unveiling the official Scott Mills Bridge plaque in a ceremony featuring a balloon arch, a 15-horn truck dash and an extraordinarily grand speech. [...]
Liam Payne revisited One Direction's first Radio 1 play, secret-location broadcasts, Kurt Angle wrestling and the years when he became the responsible member trying to keep everybody organised. [...]
Alex Murphy and Chris Walley talked Cork, Ed Sheeran and life after The Young Offenders while Scott discovered contestants really do borrow impressive homes for television dates. [...]
Zara Larsson chose Megan Thee Stallion, Rosalía, Britney and Dua Lipa while Scott realised a personalised baby blanket bearing the wrong name was already on its way to Chris. [...]
Scott spent the morning receiving deliberately useless updates from Simon McCoy before an emotional Chris finally called in to reveal that his wife had given birth to a baby boy. [...]
Listener Ben's moving lockdown letter left Scott and Chris emotional, while Chris had to leave mid-show because his mother-in-law wanted to use the shower beside his makeshift studio. [...]
Tina Barrett settled the “Reach up for the stars” argument, teachers debated using first names, and Scott discovered Below Deck while waiting for Baby Stark news. [...]
Chris announced that his wife was expecting their first baby at any moment, while flying-ant day created drunk seagulls and Scott began asking listeners to write to their 10-year-old selves. [...]
