Today's show was dedicated to people who think the slower you scratch a scratchcard, the more chance you have of winning!" The show was entitled: "I'm 44 years old and I've just found some fresh puppy fat!"

Mrs Roderick from Hawthorne Primary School in Pontypridd announced on the Mega-Phone-Call that they were a bit short on races for their Sports Day, until they heard about the "dressing up" race on the show. They are very grateful for the suggestion, and would like to point out: they are not a posh school!"
