How to speak British English
Scott played an online lesson designed to teach American listeners a British accent.
The instructor demonstrated isolated words and phrases, including “everybody got lovely apples”.
The team thought her voice moved between the Queen, Liam Gallagher and several unrelated regional accents, making the lesson less useful than promised.
The Rasmus alert and toaster
Scott apologised for accidentally cutting off the beginning of a Rasmus track, meaning listeners had not received the programme’s usual “Rasmus alert”.
A listener named Jackie claimed her toaster played the same alert when the toast was ready.
Scott phoned and waited on air for the appliance to finish, treating the ordinary toaster cycle as a major live event.
Mills: The Musical
More songs were placed online, and listeners were directed to the programme’s musical pages and Twitter account.
Craig and Tashaka sent a number whose ending proposed that Scott marry Beth Ditto. Scott was wary of locking the plot into marriage so early, but the team kept the idea under consideration.
Oh, What’s Occurring?
Kelly Osbourne was challenged to continue singing after being given the wrong opening line or melody. The song involved Amy Winehouse and The Boy Does Nothing, producing a confused musical performance.
Another round counted Simon Cowell repeatedly telling a female performer she was a “good girl” during Britain’s Got Talent.
The game also included a further public or celebrity challenge in its usual three-round format.
