10 March 2008: Chappers’ Sport Relief Tour and Filthy Old Toys

 

Chappers kicks off his ambitious Sport Relief challenge, visiting every English and Scottish Premiership ground to run a mile at each venue, while Scott marks the occasion with a specially written song — performed in Chappers’ own distinctive style.

This episode celebrates Chappers’ launch of his Sport Relief fundraising tour, which will see him tackle all the Premiership grounds across England and Scotland, running a mile at each stop. Scott has composed a novelty ditty in honour of the occasion, with Chappers delivering it in his characteristically expressive manner.

The show also features the return of Flanders (the feature where listeners leave answerphone messages), with several memorable voicemails this week. Highlights include the mysteriously named “Donkey Man,” whose donkey impression falls decidedly short of the real thing, and a woman attempting a breathy, seductive accent that clearly isn’t her natural voice. One caller delivers some characteristically cheeky chat-up lines about mirrors in pants, while another offers what sounds suspiciously like a campervan sales pitch disguised as a romantic overture — a message that bears an uncanny resemblance to Chappers’ own delivery style.

Scott also demonstrates the instructions for assembling his Hawaii chair, a feature that proves considerably less straightforward than one might hope, and revisits the “filthy old toys” theme from earlier in the week, looking at the innuendo-laden playthings that kept children entertained in previous generations.
