The moment that American Paul screwed up the pronunciation of ‘Inverness’ in today’s show opener, you just knew it was going to be one of those shows. By that I mean a crap one. The team were live from the BBC’s Radio nan Gaidheal studios in Inverness, home of the Gaelic BBC Radio Scotland. By the sound of it, the studio Chris was in hadn’t been used in donkeys years as the microphones were distorted really badly during the first hour with Chris so loud he sounded like Lard on The Radio 1 Antiques Roadshow. Eventually the mics got fixed but by this point Daves mic had popped badly and as a result Chris banned anyone from saying a letter beginning with ‘p’. He also struggled to work the studio desk, with the show seemingly falling off the air during most trails. Nevertheless, a workman never blames his tools and Chris tried in vain to entertain the nation.

The team's flight from London to Inverness was delayed last night and there was some turbulence on the way up, much to Chris’s dismay. While he was busy exercising his Paul McKenna de-stress methods, Comedy Dave was fast asleep. Upon their arrival at the airport, Gerry Reynolds had arranged for a piper to be at the bottom of the plane steps playing the bagpipes for them. It was a 13 year old lad called Callum, who Dave and Chris said was very good. They didn’t have time for much of a chitter-chatter though as their huge white limousine was waiting for them on the runway. Chris said that his hotel room was lovely (it’s at the Culloden House Hotel and was once occupied by bonny Prince Charles). After arriving and dropping off their bags, it was off into Inverness City Centre. They went to The Yard pub, which was holding it’s weekly amateur pole dancing night. Dave said he had never seen people pole-dancing in their coats before. There was a leaflet of lap-dancing Do’s and Dont’s that Dave picked up. It said ‘Do always wipe your pole down before performing’. Chris said that Aled had told him he does that. It also said ‘Don’t take part if you weigh more than 20 stone’. Chris said a couple were pretty close last night and after seeing them, he has now abandoned plans to open up his own amateur lap-dancing club. First thing this morning Chris, Dave and Aled headed down to Hector Russell to get their Moyles Tartan kilts fitted. They did today’s show in traditional Scottish dress. They had shirts that made Chris feel like Robin Hood from the waist up, their kilts, brogues and sporrans. Chris said he looked a bit like Mrs McDoubtfire with a Simon Cowell esque waistband up to his nipples. However, he said he actually felt surprisingly macho in his kilt and Dave said his was warmer than he thought it’d be. Dave placed his mobile phone in his sporran and when it went off he said it was the first time his private parts had ever rung, so to speak. He said it was an interesting experience. In contrast, Rachel was wearing another low-cut top with her boobs hanging out. Rachel told Chris to stop looking but he said he said he couldn’t avoid them. The pictures of Chris, Dave and Aled in their kilts are here -

After their kilt fitting the team were back in their white limo, drinking Irn Bru and listening to a bagpipes CD. That was every Scottish stereotype in the bag by 3.30. Dave said they were keen to blend in and not look like tourists. Rachel was given the bagpipes CD from Hector Russell for free. It came in handy as Chris used bagpipe beds in almost every link. After a trip to Loch Ness, the team met up with a man called Michael Cleghorn, who is a professional tosser. A professional caber tosser you understand (Dave and Chris used the tosser gag for near on an hour). A caber is basically a heavy, wooden pole (such as a young tree trunk) that is tossed over the shoulder in a test of strength in the highlands. Chris played the audio of him tossing. Malcolm gave him a rating out of ten. So short was Chris on features today, he decided upon a game of Highland Banzai. Dave said it was ‘Interactive play at home fun’. Chris asked people to text in what they think he was rated as, hence VOTE 5, 6, 7 or 8 to 8119. He actually got 7 and the randomly picked winner was Ken from Telford. Chris said he’d send him some shortbread and a tartan teatowel as a prize.

Chris sent Aled out onto the streets in a true wacky breakfast DJ stylee. He said Aled had to find some people who are going to the Xmas lights switch on tonight - and give them one of the items from a bag he was holding. The deal was that they would then return the item to Chris, for him to take back to London tomorrow. Aled’s sick mind thought the items in question were condoms but it was really non-disposable cameras to take photos tonight. Until Aled was ready on the phoneline, Chris and Dave discussed the various toilet techniques you would/could use while wearing a kilt and a sporran. Aled was on the line from Ness Bridge (where the webcam they were looking at yesterday was). Chris had soon logged onto AledCam and could see him in his Roy Cropper white duffelcoat. Aled said that alongside his kilt it made him look like a flasher. Eventually he did find some people to give the cameras to. Chris said the traffic was very quiet near Aled and turned him up to full volume. At this moment a nearby lorry beeped loudly, almost making Chris and Dave completely deaf in their headphones.

Sat and today are up
