13 October 2009: Scott takes his first Segway ride

 

The first Scott Mills Segway

Scott tested a Segway, the self-balancing electric vehicle controlled by leaning forwards and backwards. He expected it to feel intuitive but initially struggled with starting, stopping and trusting the machine to remain upright.

The team treated the short journey as though it were a major transport experiment. Scott became more confident only after receiving repeated instructions and reassurance that a small movement would not send him racing across the building.

Dear Scott

The letters included listener reactions to the recent breakfast coverage, Timmy Trendy and the Posh Radio 4 Lady. The team used the correspondence to revisit details that had been misheard or misunderstood.

Oh, What’s Occurring?

The game combined a Stupid Street question with another telephone or studio challenge. The contestants predicted the result before the edited clips revealed the answer.
