9 December 2010: Scott’s grammar and the Surfin’ Bird campaign

 

Scott’s bad grammar, innit

Scott reflected on a fraught appearance on 5 Live about language, where the woman he had been speaking to did not seem impressed with his approach. Elsewhere, Les had been dumped during the Christmas transfer window and Stupid Street supplied festive answers, including a surprising appearance from Macaulay Culkin.

The campaign to make The Trashmen’s “Surfin’ Bird” Christmas number one gathered pace, while Scott also got confused by a football score involving FC Twenty and Tottenham. The team then set up a test after a Radio 4 programme accidentally interviewed the wrong person: would Scott’s friends pretend to be celebrities if a local-radio presenter got the wrong number?

Chris reluctantly answered questions as Phillip Schofield, eventually even recording a station ident. Lucky Gary was put through the same ordeal as P Diddy, gave generic advice about following dreams and never giving up, and struggled to invent a name for his supposed new single.
