25 August 2009: Beccy becomes stylist “Barbara Windsor” and recommends a mint suit with an eye patch

 

Beccy’s stylist prank

Beccy attempted another prank call after Scott and Chappers had discussed suits and professional styling.

She phoned Joe Cole pretending to be a stylist called Barbara Windsor, supposedly recommended by Danny Howard.

Her accent and opening explanation were so difficult to understand that Joe repeatedly asked her to start again.

Beccy told him he was “totally a summer” and should wear pastel colours including baby blue, pink and mint.

She also advised him to wear an eye patch and delivered a confused line about having two breasts rather than one.

Joe summarised the recommendations as two breasts, a mint suit and an eye patch and said he was not sure he trusted her.

Beccy finally abandoned the call, claiming she would contact him another day. The studio agreed that Joe had not been fully convinced.

BBC Radio Cymru

The archive also contains the first of several Welsh-language Radio Cymru clips connected with the programme.

The automated transcript is too corrupted to support a reliable translation, but recognisable English names and phrases include Greg James, Scott Mills, Twitter and Radio 1.

The later discussion confirms that English-speaking listeners were following the Welsh broadcast as a form of entertainment and searching for isolated English words.
