This week’s show saw the return of a feature I’d not run for a while – Stuck in a Moment – where I ask if you can identify a song from just a bar or two. I also gave the clue that this 90s song caused a linguistic controversy*:

Amongst the sport headlines was news of horse racing returning to Essex, with the first official meeting tomorrow at the brand new Chelmsford City Race Course near Great Leighs – although as Joe found out when he chatted with its Chairman, Joe Scanlon, on yesterday’s Breakfast Show, tomorrow’s meeting is for invited guests and competition winners only:

You can hear the full interview here.

We also heard part of Mikey Porter’s chat earlier this week with TV favourite Lucy Benjamin, who’s starring at the Queen’s Theatre in Hornchurch later this month alongside members of resident company Cut to the Chase in the psychological thriller Deadly Murder. In 2009 Lucy took part in I’m a Celebrity… Get me Out of Here!, and Mike asked her how hard she found it, as an actor, going into the jungle:

Deadly Murder runs from 30th January to 21st February; listen to the whole interview on Mikey’s show page.

*Stuck in a Moment was Ironic by Alanis Morissette, the linguistic controversy having arisen out of the fact that the situations in the song weren’t considered to be ironic. Ed Burne is recorded as having joked: “The only ironic thing about that song is it’s called ‘Ironic’ and it’s written by a woman who doesn’t know what irony is. That’s quite ironic!”
