Chris judges the dogs
Chris reported back from the local dog show he had been asked to judge. He missed the waggiest-tail category but arrived for best newcomer and the contest to find the dog most like its owner.
The categories sounded increasingly like an awards ceremony, complete with rosettes and the possibility of presenting a golden bone. Chris found it difficult to congratulate an owner on resembling a dog without making the result sound insulting.
Grimmy prepares for Glastonbury
Nick Grimshaw arrived freshly groomed before leaving for Glastonbury and facing his new role as an X Factor judge. His recent spray tan made him ideal for Innuendo Bingo, because every mouthful of water promised to remove part of it.
Grimmy and Chris produced the ridiculous game Scott had expected. Clips from cookery, athletics and radio comedy created a large orange mess, while Grimmy’s planned festival appearance became progressively less polished.
The team clearing the studio faced one of their least dignified clean-ups, while Grimmy left for the festival with considerably less colour than he had brought into the game.
Will becomes a professional stag
Will’s calendar had expanded since Budapest. In Barcelona he attended one stag party on Friday, left that group and joined a different one on Saturday, managing two sets of strangers in a single weekend.
Other parties were now approaching him directly through Twitter, some producing shirts featuring Seth the Badger. Will had become the Tony Blair of stag dos, arriving as a recognised guest rather than the anonymous buyer of a spare eBay ticket.
His ambition was to reach a celebrity celebration. Scott encouraged the plan, although the number of bookings was already becoming difficult to combine with an ordinary job.
A homemade farmers’ video
The young-farmers remix received a phone-shot video assembled from Scott and Greg’s weekend gigs, footage of actual farmers and Chris lip-syncing his lines. The budget was small, but crowd shots and slow-motion entrances gave it the shape of a superstar-DJ film.
Greg also played Real or No Real, losing 20 points to Scott’s 30. The following morning Scott and Chris would replace Grimmy on Breakfast, while Grimmy headed to Glastonbury with considerably less tan than he had brought into the studio.
