What makes for a chill time on holiday? The host reveals a poll where 66% prefer spending time in nature.
The episode opens with a quick survey result: 66% of respondents say spending time in nature is the top way to have a chill holiday, with 38% preferring doing nothing at all, and smaller numbers choosing luxury, culture, spa, or adventure activities. The DJ gives a shoutout to listener Dylan, who is in Latvia visiting his girlfriend. He introduces Love Me by The 1975 as track two from the album I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful and Yet So Unaware of It. After the track, he briefly discusses Jessie Ware, confusing her with Jessie J before correcting himself, and notes that Jessie Ware appeared on the Nick Grimshaw and Annie Mack podcast to discuss her new album and the track Ride. He plays Ride followed by Heaven by Arlo Parks. He then recommends the BBC Radio 2 Piano Room series, which featured Pulp, Squeeze, and others this month, and notes it's available on BBC Sounds and BBC iPlayer. He introduces a Richard Oscroft track and checks in with listeners about their weekend plans, sharing his own: watching Chelsea versus Arsenal on Sunday, attending a London Woodcraft AGM, going out Saturday with friends including DJ Mark and possibly Hayley, spending time with his niece, and seeing Ross Noble at the London Palladium on Friday night. After the Oscroft track, the show moves into an extended TV Corner covering Friday's full UK prime time schedule: Pointless and The One Show on BBC One, Would I Lie To You with Holly Willoughby and Olympian Martello Douglas, Graham Norton with Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt, and Taylor Swift, Death in Paradise, Big Cats 24/7 on BBC Two, Emmerdale and Coronation Street on ITV, Gogglebox and The Last Leg on Channel 4, and Piers Morgan Uncensored on Channel 5. Saturday TV listings include Michael McIntyre's Big Show, Match of the Day, and the Brit Awards. Sunday highlights include Chelsea versus Arsenal at 4:30 on Sky Sports and Call the Midwife on BBC One. The episode closes with a Coldplay track and a sign-off.
