Sandra Mills treated vaccination day like an outing, Lynette preferred Barack Obama to a young Joe Biden and Ali Plumb turned Bangers into a three-way movie battle. [...]
The ever-cheerful Dickie returned on his birthday with thousands of litres of unsold cider, while the Four Lads in Jeans judged Bristol and Guernsey and Chris faced another round of Lucky Underwear. [...]
Lynette accidentally turned seven Scrabble letters into a radio puzzle, while listeners supplied more evidence that Tom Grennan was one of the nicest people in music. [...]
Listeners pitched Chinese buffets, clubs and strange local rituals to the Four Lads in Jeans, while an old Stark Guide proved Chris's geography had always been adventurous. [...]
Lynette remained unimpressed by another batch of dating profiles, while Scott and Chris discovered it can be surprisingly hard to tell a rapper's stage name from an accountant's surname. [...]
Radio 1 listeners auditioned to impersonate Scott and Chris on phone calls, while producer Grace's inability to say “spaghetti” became an unexpected highlight. [...]
Lynette weighed up a barman called Carl who wanted to take Zofia down under, while Bamboleo Wednesday revived classic clips and the quiz became fractious again. [...]
Ella Eyre revealed she could recite adverts from memory, Kate Thistleton admitted the same habit and Scott celebrated listeners' tiny wins before Cocktail or Wrestling Move. [...]
Chris sent a voice note to 220 Kid and somehow helped turn the viral Wellerman craze into a proper Radio 1 remix featuring the original postman singer Nathan Evans. [...]
Dominic and Niamh deliberately blurred the clues to their relationship, while Scott and Chris had to decide whether dramatic quotations came from Mr Worldwide or William Shakespeare. [...]
