17 August 2009: Beccy is named 25 times in the musical and Danielle discusses constipation 13 times

 

After Edinburgh

The team returned from a week they described as a blur.

They said the musical had received a surprisingly strong review in The Observer and continued directing listeners to the filmed production online.

The Chippendales’ birthday visit was also mentioned in the review, confirming that it had become part of the wider Edinburgh story.

Oh, What’s Occurring?

The first round counted every use of “Beccy” by characters in Mills: The Musical.

The montage included introductions, arguments, romantic scenes and repeated cries of her name.

Beccy was named 25 times. Her own estimate of 12 was closer than Chappers’ 64.

The phrase that pays

Scott called four Radio 1 listeners and immediately asked for “the phrase that pays”, despite never having announced a correct phrase.

Answers included a marriage proposal, “Good morning everybody, this is Charlie XCX on Radio 1”, “first dish” and “everything tastes better with custard”.

None was accepted. Chappers was awarded the point through the game’s deliberately arbitrary scoring.

Young, Dumb and Living Off Mum

Scott had become fascinated by Danielle from BBC Three’s Young, Dumb and Living Off Mum.

Danielle had not had a bowel movement for 17 days and repeatedly discussed constipation, laxatives, waiting for them to work and her desire for a “poo nap”.

The programme counted 13 references to the problem in one episode.

Chappers won the overall game.
