Hilarious - Ken Bruce just had a troll on Pop Master.
Lady with a posh voice who claimed to be retired and her hobbies were knitting and parachute jumping!!
I've been listening to Ken for years and never heard the like.

Got a few laughs in this house!
I take it R2 doesn't have a delay?
I wonder if the person will be revealed?
My friends mum talks a bit like that, she seems the quiet, mild mannered type, but is really quite adventurous, doing things like surfing and swimming in the sea.
Today wasn't that day.
Eh?
Not a fan then?
People can now judge for themselves.
It starts at 1 hour 8 mins, iPlayer link here:

HE handled it very well
I immediately thought something wasnt quite right, but hey, suppose this was a genuine "lady" with a dodgy voice (there are other possibilities of course apart from a troll)....
I was wondering if it was a man too. He could have had a sign from the other side of the glass to pull the plug. We obviously don't know what the conversation was between the 'contestant' and the researcher.
I wasn't sure about the stammer either.
Poor Ken was clearly a bit flummoxed by the messing up of his show's timings though- he gave the wrong score out at the end! Luckily he noticed and apologised, and the other guy is going to get an MP3 player too.
I was on Popmaster last year. I phoned in a couple of times, gave them my name each time and was asked 3 questions each time. I got 2 out of 3 a few times (you have to get at least 2 out of 3 to qualify). The researcher then asked me a whole load of stuff about life, work and music tastes - and then he told me to stand by as I may be called back.
Anyway, the day finally came. After getting the intial 2 out of 3 correct, I was called back and was invited to play on air. The researcher called me back, then put me through to the producer; he then put me through to a studio engineer who tested the line sound and quality and that was it. Eventually, 10:30 came and I was on - I was actually the second contestant.
If today is anything to go by, the dodgy contestant had a few hoops to get through. Of course, it's entirely possible that the contestant acted "normal" and then only started to be a bit odd live on air. Maybe the researcher and producer realised that the on air effort was radically different to the person who they'd spoken to previously.
C'mon don't be coy - what did you score and did you win!
I suspect I clicked for the same reason as you.
Not a lot, and no I didn't. I ended up with the Radio 2/Ken Bruce CD Wallet!
Was rather embarassing, I didn't have a lot to beat but didn't manage to beat the other person. Having made an arse of myself, I was pleased that for some reason that show didn't end up on iPlayer.
I've never been anywhere near 39.
