Scott’s attempts to speak Russian seem to be having an unexpectedly powerful effect on female listeners, while he vehemently denies rumours that he’s about to appear on Strictly Come Dancing.
The show opens with Scott firmly dismissing claims made on Tom Ford’s programme that he might participate in Strictly Come Dancing. He explains he turned down both Strictly and Dancing on Ice previously, citing his complete lack of coordination and embarrassment about the sequinned outfits involved. Laura brings up the topic repeatedly, but Scott remains adamant it will never happen.
The bulk of the episode focuses on Scott’s discovery that speaking Russian has become oddly attractive to listeners. After discussing a Russian holiday (Conception Day, when prizes are offered for babies born on Russia’s National Day), Scott performs a Russian-accented sketch that prompts an immediate flood of texts and calls from female listeners claiming their clothing has come undone — bras popping open, flies unzipping, and trousers falling down. Scott finds this hilarious and somewhat confusing, repeatedly calling listeners to verify the claims.
The team also run the Bookshop Game, where they call real bookshops asking for non-existent books with deliberately suggestive titles and author names. One call to a New York bookshop involves requesting “Keep It in the Family” by I.J. Kiss Me Mama, which the bemused staff member struggles to locate.
Later segments include Scott discussing his local shopping centre’s upcoming reopening, where he’s been invited to cut a ribbon, and a feature spotlighting unintentionally suggestive moments from cooking shows — Jamie Oliver’s various uses of “toss,” “push,” and instructions to “get your balls in there,” plus Ainsley Harriott discussing how “good jerk takes time.”
The show concludes with running jokes about Simon Webb (of Blue) inexplicably performing at boating lakes and car parks around the country.
