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.
The German station honoured its football bet after England's win, while Lynette advised Olivia to stop chasing a man who had disappeared after several promising dates. [...]
Armed with Chris's crib sheet, Scott pretended to be an England football expert on one of Germany's biggest radio stations and still managed to mention Joachim Löw's notorious finger-sniffing. [...]
Lynette resumed swiping after prioritising her neighbours, Chris mourned a missing AirPods charging case and Don't Look It Up invented an extremely plausible magazine cover for Jack Saunders. [...]
Griff immediately picked apart her first one-take Live Lounge, while a football-song roulette wheel denied an England fan Vindaloo and the quiz uncovered a real Glasgow pub called The Muscular Arms. [...]
Sixteen-year-old Eve surprised her form tutor to thank him for being a father figure through two disrupted school years, leaving teacher and pupil emotional on air. [...]
Chris recreated the childhood toe-wiggling rhyme Scott had somehow missed, using a socially distanced litter picker before Jura and Aaron fooled almost everyone on Brother or Lover. [...]
Scott and Chris imagined Lynette judging global politicians while Newquay prepared for the G7 summit and the quiz tested nursery rhymes adults had somehow forgotten. [...]
A friend tried to catch her own poo with toilet paper in a public cubicle, dropped it and watched it roll under the door into the communal area. [...]
Lynette rejected names including OAP-E and OnlyGrans for her proposed exercise podcast before returning to the serious business of swiping through Zofia's Tinder. [...]
Easy Life listened back to their first Live Lounge and immediately shouted “mistake” at themselves, while Rob finally landed a bakery job after six weeks of applications. [...]
