Scott makes an embarrassing on-air blunder when he accidentally compares Sky Sports News presenter Georgie Thompson to comedian Harry Hill, then watches in real-time as she reads the sports bulletin unaware of his gaffe — before Wolfgang’s Poetry Direct delivers a brutal breakup poem to a betrayed listener.
Scott opens the show in a panic, having made a mistake involving Sky Sports News presenter Georgie Thompson. He reveals he’d emailed a mate who works at Sky Sports to comment that Thompson, who presents with another colleague in the afternoon, was wearing an enormous college shirt — and jokingly compared her to Harry Hill. His mate read the email out on air while Thompson was sitting right next to him, and she’s now seen it and is reportedly not pleased. Scott watches her live on screen reading the sports bulletin, imagining her mortification as she works through the bulletin knowing viewers might be thinking the same thing.
The main feature is Wolfgang’s Poetry Direct, a prank where the team calls someone with a vengeful poem. This time, a caller named Caroline comes in after being cheated on by her boyfriend, who left her for her best friend of two years. She’s devastated and furious but too polite to say what she really thinks. Wolfgang calls the ex-best friend under the pretence of delivering a randomly selected poem, but it’s a scathing rhyming message from Caroline about the betrayal — calling her a “low-down cheating idiot” multiple times and describing the ex-boyfriend’s infidelity in unflinching detail. The poem is crude but cathartic, and the caller seems to appreciate having her anger expressed for her on national radio.
