10 October 2007: Real Or No Real Quiz Launch with Phillip Schofield and Mr. Methane

 

Scott launches a brand new quiz feature called “Real Or No Real” and speaks to Phillip Schofield on the phone, while the show’s special guest Mr. Methane — the performer famous for farting recognizable tunes — joins the studio.

The main focus of this episode is the debut of “Real Or No Real,” an interactive game where Scott reads wild headline stories to listeners and the team, who must guess whether each story actually happened or was made up. The first story featured on air concerns a groom who allegedly suffocated at his bachelor party in Geneva in 2002 — a tale sourced from the Weekly World News. Scott reads the detailed account to team member George and contestant Laura, who is currently 2-1 up in the game. The story, complete with specific details about the stripper involved (Candy Kane, 72DD measurements, the Pretty Kitty strip club), generates audience participation via text votes on whether it’s real or fabricated. Both George and Laura vote “no real,” correctly identifying it as an urban legend originally reported by Weekly World News in January 2002. Scott confirms the verdict, noting how the absurdity of the premise makes it unlikely to be true. Phillip Schofield is also on the phone during the show to chat with Scott. The episode also features Mr. Methane as a special guest, bringing his unique talent of performing recognizable musical tunes through controlled flatulence — a novelty act that has become a recurring element of Scott’s show.
