Hollywood makes the show late
Clara Amfo begins the programme because Scott and Chris are trapped in a nearby room recording something they are not yet allowed to identify. They can only say that two of the world's biggest film stars were involved and that an unseen representative of Hollywood has forbidden them from revealing more.
Both insist the interruption was worthwhile. The guests were friendly, the video is enormous and the finished result will explain why Chris had to buy a smarter shir [...]

Greg James returns to the wet area
Greg James appears in a grey suit that instantly reveals every drop of water. His latest Innuendo Bingo includes Lewis Hamilton's mother getting a little bit down her, a spy watching Dak Prescott come and pull out, Richard Madeley's late-afternoon nosh and a Grand Designs stream delivering pleasure downstairs.
The closing National Lottery clip repeatedly confirms that the answer is “head”, preserving Greg's position as the king of the game. Chris's improvised o [...]
Another BBC opportunity emerges
Chris's Celebrity Mastermind appearance, with Scott as his specialist subject, is still awaiting its Christmas broadcast when another booking arrives. This time Scott and Chris can take part together in Glasgow on a returning programme involving robots.
They initially try not to name it, but the clues and conversation with Sam McTrusty make the answer obvious: they are filming Robot Wars. The sleeper train back to London is almost as exciting to Scott as operating [...]
Chris invites the wrong waitress
Chris assumes both First Dates waitresses are appearing and publicly asks Laura Tott why she is not coming. Only CiCi Coleman has actually been booked, leaving Laura to reply that she is still waiting for her invitation.
CiCi explains that the restaurant team have become a family and remembers the contestant who tried to move Laura into his date's chair while the actual date visited the toilet. She also discusses the Wolf of Worthing and his extraordinary joke ab [...]
The Bromley parade eventually arrives
Scott switches on Bromley's Christmas lights after spending a very long time filling on stage while the parade slowly travels along the high street. He thanks the Snow Queen for her performance and Mayor Ian for an extensive conversation, although Ian refuses to let him try on the mayoral chain.
With Chris away, Scott turns the whole programme loose for a large Whooo Game. Red-eye photographs, ringing once for a call back, inflatable neon furniture, free toy [...]
LL Cool J enters the 1950s
Scott replays what may be the worst answer ever given on The Chase. Asked who had a 1950s number one with “Stranger in Paradise”, contestant David responds “LL Cool J” before the correct answer, Tony Bennett, arrives.
The pressure of the studio explains an answer from the first name that entered his head, but Scott cannot stop imagining LL Cool J launching his career decades early. It also confirms the programme's old rule that the most extraordinary multiple-choice op [...]
Scott becomes an Only Connect answer
Scott is delighted to appear as an answer on Only Connect, a programme he normally watches only to feel intellectually inadequate. A sequence of Radio 1 handovers begins with Newsbeat and Danny Howard and requires contestants to identify what follows.
The players do not reach Chappers at 13:00, but Scott considers the mention a major personal achievement. The far more difficult questions elsewhere in the quiz preserve his belief that its contestants are opera [...]
Chris survives the black chair
Chris returns from filming Celebrity Mastermind and describes it as one of the most terrifying experiences of his life. In the green room he mistakenly calls a contestant's brother Steve, having decided that a leather jacket made him look like the first winner of The Apprentice.
The silent walk to the chair is even worse. Chris stands at the wrong moment, begins moving before he should and cannot reveal whether his eventual performance was triumphant or disastrous. [...]
The specialist subject is chosen
Chris films Celebrity Mastermind in Manchester the following day. He will not be told who his competitors are, but he has finally selected a specialist subject and performs extremely well when Scott tests him during the programme.
The subject remains secret, despite listeners offering suggestions ranging from number-one singles to Watford Football Club. Dev is recording an edition on the same day, although neither knows whether they will be placed in direct compe [...]
