Don’t Look It Up
A no-Googling quiz round from Scott Mills's Radio 1 afternoon show, sitting alongside the usual daily mix of listener stories and returning features from the archive during those years.
Listeners reviewed famous attractions as though they were disappointing businesses, while Scott put “virtual” in the bin and imagined turning One Direction's melted waxworks into candles. [...]
BBC Radio Devon presenter Matt Tancock returned to complain about being mistaken for the Health Secretary, while one Southampton student delivered a brutal one-star review of home. [...]
Chris tried to explain fantasy-team names such as Game of Throw-Ins and Diego Starbucks while Scott admitted almost every football joke required a full explanation. [...]
Returning students rated the homes that had fed and housed them through lockdown, with complaints about privacy, toilets and sofas alongside five-star praise for free food and spider removal. [...]
Simon Neil listened back to Biffy Clyro's rewritten version of WAP while Scott and Chris fell deeper into the wonderfully strange karaoke catalogue of Bez and Bob. [...]
Scott complained that every business near his new home wanted to phone him, then rang Joel Corry and Jordan North simply to hear what their voicemail greetings sounded like. [...]
Chris was back in the studio for the first time since March, only to find himself stuck at a socially distanced “command centre” and unable to log into his BBC computer. [...]
Jonnie Peacock discussed Rising Phoenix, Stoke Mandeville and his golden postbox while Tap End revisited Chris's Cub Scout badges, camps and unlikely Hyacinth Bucket performance. [...]
Eddie Hearn returned with Stormzy, Lil Wayne and AC/DC for a boxing-themed mix, while Tap End revealed Chris passed his test despite hitting the kerb and repeatedly unnerving the examiner. [...]
Robbie Williams talked lockdown songwriting, art and his enormous Los Angeles home while Chris remembered the youth football team whose centre-backs fought each other. [...]
