Granny Tinder
Granny Tinder was a dating-themed segment on Scott Mills' Radio 1 afternoon show, where Zofia's nan Lynette judged listeners' Tinder bios and dating dilemmas live on air alongside the usual mix of show chat and games.
Lynette became unavailable for the first time in a year because she was socialising with neighbours, while lockdown couples explained whether moving in together after only weeks had ended in love or disaster. [...]
Scott and Chris embraced “working from garden”, used Eurovision songs as football goal stings and asked Lynette whether football was finally coming home. [...]
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. [...]
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. [...]
Lynette had to cut short her Tinder judging to make a hearing appointment, while a Maya Jama Big Weekend rumour went into Real or No Real and Bangers travelled to Crieff. [...]
Radio 1 management's warning over extra-long Rasputin only made listeners demand more, while Lynette feared a sailor would leave Zofia with “a girl in every port”. [...]
Solent University explained why Scott had been given an honorary doctorate, premium listener Lorna developed a crush on the man fixing her Sky box and extra-long Rasputin split the audience. [...]
Audio-description user Reanna judged the boys' Naked Attraction narration, Granny Tinder encountered a freelance shepherd and Bill Gates, and Rasputin became a full history lesson. [...]
Lynette decided Ryan Gosling was the ideal benchmark for Zofia, while Chris prepared for possible Watford promotion by checking the lockdown rules on celebratory pond-jumping. [...]
Zofia's misreading of “cologne” gave Granny Tinder a new pronunciation to remember, while Lynette judged Italian fashion designer Stefano and celebrated being fully vaccinated. [...]
