23 December 2009: Lee Mack on Christmas, stand-up and losing his voice

 

Lee Mack

Lee Mack joined the programme as Scott and Chappers struggled with damaged voices.

The conversation covered Christmas, stand-up touring and the difference between prepared television comedy and reacting to a live audience. Mack used the team’s hoarseness as immediate material and questioned why broadcasters who relied on their voices had allowed them to become so strained.

Dear Scott

The final listener letters before Christmas included messages for Chappers, questions about the team’s holiday plans and reactions to the Timmy Trendy campaign.

Preparing to say goodbye

Although Chappers had asked for no emotional farewell, the programme was already receiving messages about his final show. Scott continued pretending that the departure would be handled casually.
