Greg James Thats What He Said

Comedian Joe Lycett is here to go through some Fact Controllers, we hear from people who have very important jobs but can’t do the normal everyday things and Greg creates a list of very British things that Drake should be using at his gigs - Mary Berry on a giant cupcake maybe?

What strange habit does your dad have? Washing the car with bath water maybe? We find out your weird ones. Also, Greg investigates friends that are nice but REALLY ANNOYING online and some more listeners are put on the spot in Fake Britain.

Greg and Nichola had lots to share from their day trip to Geneva; most importantly the question of whether it is okay to slump over and sleep on your tray table on a flight - It was time to Ask The Nation. Also, Greg had a very bleak morning when he came home to find a lovely Barney parcel in his living room and teacher Dom reported back about his April Fool’s attempt to convince his students that polar bears have been spotted in Scotland.

More Unpopular Opinions including another shocker from Battle Of Hastings Guy, shocking scenes on Blue Planet Live and a shocking rip off of our favourite Gregg Wallace show. Anyway, are you well?

Zara Larsson helps us make a maths song for some Year 11s and we get some brilliant suggestions on what should fill the 2 hour Brexit-shaped hole on BBC One tomorrow! Also, Katy from The Crown Hotel in Bawtry actually phoned us and she is well! We thought so.

After our discovery of Derek Thompson and our new favourite catch phrase, Greg catches up with teacher Grace who had given the phrase a go at her parents evening last night. Also, Greg heard a horn yesterday that sounded just like the one from our hootenanny last month so he starts an investigation to find it and The Fact Controller returns with a load more nonsense including toasters having different settings.

Chris and Rosie Ramsey were in the Radio 1 Phone room chatting to the R1 listeners about the ‘unveiling of the mask’ moments in relationships, Greg’s favourite racing presenter Derek Thompson from ‘that’s a man actually Derek’ is back with something even better and in the midst of all the hard Brexit news, we were given another great moment from the world’s most relaxed newsreader Simon McCoy.

It’s the first day of spring so we had a big spring clean on the show, which all started with Roisin’s robot hoover Alan. We heard some great clips from the archive, dug out a few bonus bits, and gave the studio a good clean. Plus, Impossible Karaoke was as impossible as you would expect.

We tried to get a bit further with the goat investigation this morning, and got a few theories about what could’ve happened to Trammy. Plus, a dentist has been filmed using Gun Lean to teach students in a school assembly how to brush their teeth and (as it’s the first day of Spring tomorrow) Greg decided the show needs a spring clean of the bits that have happened on the show since it started in August, like Joe Lycett’s poem and Coldplay’s song for the first show.

In the wake of St Patrick’s Day Greg is fascinated by a Leprechaun Whisperer, sets up an investigation into the appearance of a goat waiting at a tram stop and has some brilliant unpopular opinions like, “Bradley Cooper is ugly” ??

Social media went down last night for a few hours and it hit the nation hard so Greg asked listeners to send in the stuff that they missed posting. Also Greg overheard someone answer their phone whilst on the toilet and asked the nation if you should or shouldn’t pick up the phone if it rings when you’re on the loo.

A senior MP was going around Parliament yesterday offering stressed MPs Polos so Greg asked for scenarios where Polos could be great to break the tension.

After a pug at Crufts was called Randy Andy, Greg comes up with a way of finding out your pedigree name. His turns out to be King Donald Flan. Also, as more names are added to Radio 1’s Big Weekend line-up, we speak to Rita Ora, Sam Fender and Billie Eilish (who had never heard of Middlesbrough!)

It's the LOL-a-thon with Scott & Chris. Ricky Gervais shares his unpopular opinion, they go live on ITV with Lorraine plus Rob Beckett critiques a joke from a (massively famous) mystery celebrity.

Today’s Fake Britain saw the R1 listeners name their imaginary pubs, the missing hamper has been found (but some of the contents are missing) and Greg catches up with Chris Stark in a very peculiarly-named place, on the road to the Lolathon.
