1 October 2009: Scott wears the airport hot pants and Timmy Trendy targets television

 

The airport hot pants

Scott honoured the result of the programme’s abandoned-suitcase game by arriving in the denim hot pants found inside his case. They were far smaller than the 46-inch-waist trousers he had expected, leaving him unable to sit comfortably and creating a revealing photograph for the studio webcam.

Beccy had received baby clothes and appeared in an adult romper suit, while Chappers was criticised for failing to dress in anything from his own case. Scott kept rearranging the shorts beneath the desk and eventually asked to take them off, but the team insisted that they still needed a usable photograph.

Dear Scott

The listener letters included several messages about cheese and a correspondent offering an unusual signed picture. The Posh Radio 4 Lady was away, so a “Posh Radio 4 Man” temporarily adopted the formal reading style.

The team treated the substitute as a full replacement and asked visiting singer Mika whether his famous friends could help improve the programme’s newly expanded Posh Radio 4 universe.

Timmy Trendy

The programme continued trying to turn fashion expert Timmy Trendy into a television personality. Beccy called the production team behind Britain’s Next Top Model in character and presented Timmy as a potential new judge.

The game asked how long Timmy and the woman from Living TV would remain on the phone. Although the call was transparently absurd, the conversation lasted long enough for Timmy to discuss his credentials and ambitions before the approach was rejected.

Stupid Street

Ten members of the public were shown a photograph of Bruce Forsyth and asked whether they recognised him. The answers became the day’s final prediction round, with the team estimating how many people could identify one of British television’s most familiar presenters.
