Laura
Laura Sayers was Broadcast Assistant on Scott Mills' BBC Radio 1 show from 2002 to 2008, having joined through a BBC traineeship. She is now a commissioning executive at BBC Radio 2. Here are all our write-ups featuring Laura.
Scott and the team create a chaotic audition video for Laura to submit as P. Diddy's personal assistant, after the rapper's MySpace profile advertises the position online. [...]
Scott tests out a viral email of "seven hot things to say to a woman" by calling up colleagues and his own mum, with hilariously mixed results, then moves on to fortune cookie messages and the "add in bed/in my pants" game with listeners. [...]
Scott and the team dive into Canada's unlikely national sport of competitive pillow fighting, play Laura's new quiz game "The Biggest Loser" where yes-answers spell out L-O-S-E-R, and attempt a sticky new game involving fizzy drinks and pop sweets. [...]
Scott and the team pose as Castaway producers to interview the four Radio 1 listeners in the running to join the island, asking increasingly outlandish questions about nudity, romance, and crawling into a dead moose carcass — while Laura navigates a blindfolded mouse trap minefield in the studio. [...]
Scott and the team hit the streets with a silly new game testing whether various excuses actually get you to the front of a supermarket queue, with increasingly absurd results. [...]
Scott Mills is filling in for Grimmy on Breakfast with a bumper Flirt Divert feature, complete with hilariously garbled voicemail messages — and Laura's speculative baby names cause chaos with the unofficial fan site. [...]
Scott sends Laura into a public library armed only with a whoopee cushion, tasking her to get thrown out using the classic fart gag — but the librarians prove remarkably unfazed by her efforts. [...]
Laura attempts to ring up people across Europe to find out about their World Cup songs — but armed only with an internet translator, the results are hilariously garbled and mortifying. [...]
Scott discovers "The Baby Mindreader," a genuinely baffling TV show in which a camp psychic called Derek claims to read the minds of babies to diagnose their emotional and behavioural problems — and the results are hilariously dubious. [...]
Two massive Hilary Duff fans – Sophie and Laura, who works on the show – go to a Hilary Duff concert together, and Laura secures a backstage interview that becomes increasingly uncomfortable as her questions veer from flattery into invitation-to-stay-at-my-house territory. [...]
