24 January 2009: Scott and Adam head to Belfast

 

The journey to Belfast

Scott and Adam broadcast while travelling to Belfast.

They read immediate listener reviews of their programme. Comments ranged from praise to complaints that the start had been rushed and that the show improved later.

One message said it had been difficult to tell where Frank Sinatra ended and Scott began. Another concluded: “Poor start, picked up towards the end. Must try harder.”

Scott treated the criticism as though the audience were marking a performance rather than casually responding to a radio show.

Scott in Newcastle University library

A caller named Jen contacted the programme from Newcastle.

She said Scott’s face was displayed around Newcastle University library. The promotion was connected with his visit or appearance, leaving her surrounded by photographs of him while studying.

Scott asked her to describe where the images appeared and how prominently he had been displayed.

Pet Shop Boys material

The archive also contained a short Pet Shop Boys-branded sequence and related Radio 1 links.

The segment formed part of the day’s wider music and travel programme rather than a separate interview.
