The Scott Mills Show - Features

Features

Recurring features on the programme include:

  • Innuendo Bingo—a game that involves playing clips from other radio or TV programmes (particularly other BBC programmes), where what is said can be misconstrued as innuendo. The clips are played to someone from the BBC (or a guest) while the person's mouth is full of water, and the challenge is to not spit out the water while laughing.
  • 24 Years At The Tap End—an autobiography of contributor Chris Stark.
  • Dear Scott—a long-running feature in which listeners have their e-mails, texts and letters read by Kathy Clugston (also known as 'The Posh Radio 4 Lady' or 'PR4L'. Questions are answered on-air.
  • Real or No Real—a feature in which Newsbeat newsreader Chris Smith reads out tweets from fact-based and hoax Twitter accounts. Mills and Stark then decide whether the facts are "real" or "no real".
  • Show 'N' Tell—this features team members bringing in items which they think are outstanding.
  • Loving the Trolls—a new segment in which Mills reads out abusive tweets and Facebook messages through the voice of Laurence, the automated speech system.
  • Follow Me, Follow You. Who Follows Who?—a feature where Chris Stark guesses whether particularly likely celebrity pairings actually follow one-another on Twitter.

Famous quotes containing the word features:

    ““It looks as if
    Some pallid thing had squashed its features flat
    And its eyes shut with overeagerness
    To see what people found so interesting
    In one another, and had gone to sleep
    Of its own stupid lack of understanding,
    Or broken its white neck of mushroom stuff
    Short off, and died against the windowpane.””
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event—in the living act, the undoubted deed—there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask!”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “The features of our face are hardly more than gestures which force of habit made permanent. Nature, like the destruction of Pompeii, like the metamorphosis of a nymph into a tree, has arrested us in an accustomed movement.”
    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
