A guest Scott was not expecting
Scott spent the early programme knowing that somebody would arrive later but without being given their identity.
He worried about failing to recognise the person and tried to prepare questions broad enough to survive almost any reveal.
The team and listeners offered clues and guesses, but the feature again depended on Scott discovering the answer at the same time as the audience.
Dannii Minogue
The mystery guest was revealed as Dannii Minogue.
Scott discussed her long career in television and music, beginning with her early work in Australia and the move into international pop.
Dannii reflected on growing up in a performing family and the experience of being discussed in relation to her sister Kylie while still building a career with its own identity.
The conversation covered her dance records, television judging roles and the enduring affection attached to 1990s and early-2000s pop.
Scott also asked about her current work and why she continued to enjoy projects that allowed her to discover and support other performers.
The lack of advance preparation became part of the interview, with Scott openly reacting to each stage of the reveal rather than pretending he had known Dannii was coming.
