On Air – We learnt that Jeremy Vine was in a band called ‘Flaming Generation’ when he was at school, also his brother is Tim Vine. Richard won the ‘Pub Quiz’, (Crocker had an epic fail, scoring just 2!). Bristol is twined with Hanover –FACT. We were all very disappointed to learn that Jo Lo is the most powerful celebrity on the planet and earned 52 million dollars last year. David from Bishop Sutton scored another 9 in ‘Gone In 60 Seconds’ he now has a whopping £400 in the bank! Crocker and Downsy embarrassed themselves with a lack of knowledge of British music, new and old. Crocker didn’t even recognise a song by her supposedly favourite band (Blur).

Off Air – Downsy was going to let us record him ‘playing his teeth’, but he’s gone AWOL (we think he may well be in Mcdonalds).

Today – Richard is going to the seaside (for work purposes). Downsy is getting food from somewhere. Crocker is off to the gym.

Tomorrow – At 7.10 it’s your chance to win cinema tickets in ‘That Morning Thing at the Movies’. Find out if David will risk his £400 in ‘Gone in 60 Seconds’ at 8.10am.

On Air – We learnt that Peirce Brosnon is a trained fire eater. Downsy really likes Kit Kat Chunkeys. The King of ‘King of ‘ was Downsy. If you’re on facebook you are worth £100 to Mark Zuckerberg. Downsy started putting together some policies for his Mayoral campaign; post to be delivered before 9, roads to be made the same colours as they are on the maps, and free ice cream on a Friday. Crocker is the best driver in TMT because she has had less insurance claims. David from Bishop Sutton scored a brilliant 9, so after just two days on ‘Gone in 60 Seconds’ he’s already got £300 in the bank. Richard won our version of Blockbuster. We also discovered you don’t need a lawn mower you need a pet wallaby. Also tired of talking about being Biff in ‘Back to the Future’ Tom Wilson hands this out;

Today – Downsy is going to be cooking his secret spaghetti bolognese recipe for his house guest and welcoming his lodger back from holiday. Crocker is going to see Dara O Briain at the Hippodrome tonight.

We learnt that Zara Phillips often attends charity poker events. Downsy’s has a big head (apparently his top hat size is a 7 and half). Crocker proved her knowledge of Chelsea Football Club is masterful. The theme tune to 'Match of the Day' is the most recognisable theme tune off of the telly. Downsy has disturbing dreams. We were all excited about the return of Blockbuster (not so keen on the return of ‘Surprise, Surprise’). On his first appearance on ‘Gone in 60 Seconds’ David scored 10, and a mega £200! We took the Mcquiz and we learnt that Mcdonald’s are the world’s largest toy distributer (Crocker wasn’t happy that Mcdonnalds actually deliver in some countries). Richard taught Downsy and Richard some grammar.

Downsy won the Weekend Quiz (but only because there were two questions about Mcfly, and Crocker got 6 points deducted for being a know it all). Downsy was quite disagreeable about Man City winning the title. Crocker was disagreeable because Bristol Rugby won’t be promoted. We learnt that the world has unusual talents. Downsy spent the weekend celebrating his birthday and learning to drive a quad bike (he was still quite tired). Phil took his £300 in ‘Gone in 60 Seconds’ and Dave crashed out scoring just a 5. Crocker isn't keen on Olly Murs. The Queens pants are being sold. We debated whether it is ok to have crisps for breakfast.

Basically every Bristolian puts in a tenner (which will cover the 4.5 million pound asking price) and we all share ownership! In the ‘Master Quiz’ Richard proved he knows far too much about Paddington Bear – He scored 8, and surprisingly put Downsy in the hot seat for next week. We had a rundown of the top ten songs played at weddings and as a result we played Black Eyed Peas ‘I’ve got feeling’ much to Downsy & Crocker’s delight.
