Controlling Beccy with old clips
With Beccy absent, Scott used stored clips of her voice as though she were still in the studio.
The fragments included Beccy saying she loved horses, praising somebody’s style, calling herself “the new Jerry Hall” and admitting that she did not own a fish slice.
Scott and Chappers enjoyed being able to trigger her responses whenever they wanted, although the artificial conversation quickly became nonsensical.
Chappers versus Radio Derby
Chappers joined the programme from Trent Bridge, where he was covering cricket.
A listener’s car radio had interrupted Chris Moyles’ show with a Radio Derby traffic update. The local presenter then discussed a stag event where Chappers had recently DJed and allegedly described him as the most boring person on radio.
Chappers argued that a DJ’s main job was to play music people wanted rather than constantly speak over it.
He declared the beginning of a new feud, comparing it with his earlier disagreement involving 50 Cent, and asked whether somebody in Nottingham could confront the presenter on his behalf.
Gerard Butler
Gerard Butler phoned from New York after experiencing problems with his mobile connection.
He discussed the MTV Video Music Awards and said Kanye West’s interruption of Taylor Swift had initially appeared so smooth that he wondered whether it had been rehearsed.
Butler then described seeing a man pinned against a wall and removed from the building, making him believe the incident had been genuine.
Oh, What’s Occurring?: invention special
Gerard Butler competed against Chappers in a special edition asking whether strange new products were real or invented by the programme.
Annie Mac fanny packs
The first supposed product was a range of bum bags branded with Annie Mac’s “whoop whoop” catchphrase.
Butler believed they were real. Chappers recognised the wording as the kind of idea the team would invent.
The fanny packs were fake, giving Chappers the point.
The spy shaver
A hidden camera built into an electric shaver was presented as a device for undercover agents.
Chappers thought it sounded too obvious to be real, while Butler accepted it.
The spy shaver was genuine.
Annie Mac’s granny slacks
The next fake advert offered fashionable trousers for older women, again branded with “whoop whoop” across the back.
Butler and Chappers debated whether Annie Mac’s existing merchandise made the idea plausible.
The granny slacks were invented.
Glow-in-the-dark toilet roll
The programme then described toilet paper that glowed green so users could find it during a power cut or at night.
Butler remembered seeing something similar while working with Robbie Williams and chose real.
The product genuinely existed.
Cranny wax
“Annie Mac’s cranny wax” supposedly removed hair from hard-to-reach areas.
Both contestants rejected it because the concept was too unpleasant. It was fake.
The iBum
The final invention looked like a chair but contained a photocopier in the seat, allowing users to print an image of their backside without climbing onto office equipment.
Butler said something so pointless was probably real. Chappers chose false.
The iBum was genuine, giving Butler a decisive victory.
