Hi,

Welcome to the world of Sim!

Hear the show at midday UK time (see local listings for other timings).

Listeners in the UK can hear the show on SKY guide number 0211 and online at ww.bfbs.com/radio

 

 

 

Bottoms Up!

 

No one said this job would be easy. On Wednesday we're taking the entire show to Earl's Court to bring you the atmosphere of the UK's biggest beer festival. We're doing it for sound editorial reasons, and not at all because there'll be over 450 ales to sample, honest.

 

Chesney Hawkes

Other highlites this week include all the Olympic build up to the opening ceremony this Friday, a chat with actress Claire Goose and we ask "Where are you now...Chesney Hawkes?"

Ultimate Summer CD

 

That's it! Give yourself a pat on the back - you've made a compilation album! You're now a record company executive! Let's go for a huge binge lunch and wait to win a Brit award! The last 3 tracks to fight for a spot on the album were:

 

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Road Trippin'

Stranglers - Always The Sun

Gnarls Barkley - Crazy

 

 

The winner was The Stranglers! If you voted you're in with a chance of winning the final album on Monday!

 

You can see the finished album here.

 

Listen on Monday when we'll play it ALL and give it away!

 

 

 

Video killed the radio car

During the OB from the Motor Show I got flung around in the passenger seat of a highly powerful Westfield sports car. You can see the video of me doing that right here! The sound is from the little camera, not the microphone you see me holding, so isn't great - but the pictures more than make up for that, especially the G-Force indicators! (I want those on my Renault Scenic!)

WIN! WIN! WIN!

A Doctor Who experience out of this world !

 

 

Sim explores Time And Dimensions In SpaceIt's Doctor Who week next week! We're giving away loads of tickets to the brilliant exhibition at London's Earl's Court.

 

Check out our game 'Who's in the Tardis?' on Monday!

 

Doc & Donna

 

 

Blame Simon!

He's the producer. Blame him.

Our sheepish producer has another confession to make.

All of these are genuine incidents, but which can we blame Simon for? Did he....

a)   Turn the M4 motorway into a winter wonderland by shedding a load of millions of tiny polystyrene balls off the back of a truck.

b)   Transport a Shetland Pony the length of the M1 not in a horse box, but in the back of a Ford Mondeo.

c)   Get overtaken by his own wheel on the M40 when it fell off his poorly maintained trailer.

To bag the ALL NEW Mouse Of Destiny mousemat, and be in with a chance of winning our star prize this week, just tell us the big pop hit being played by Corporal Crumpet on his big pop trumpet!

 

Mouse Of Destiny mouse mat

 

Expect our favourite military musician to make an appearance on Tuesday and Thursday this week, if we can drag him away from his 'Reveille' duties at Catterick.

 

 

 

Tipsy Talker

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said "No, no, no...because I wasn't actually tipsy, it was just a game"

 

 

We're tweaking the Tipsy Talker quiz because we're at the Great British Beer Festival. Tune in to our live OB to see how you can win in our new 'live' tipsy talker challenge!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Friday Mash

Another blend of tunes forms something wondrous before your very ears!

 

A retro/modern collision this week when Dunproofin introduces The Police to The Klaxons. Golden Skans is the perfect chord structure for Sting's vocals on Can't Stand Losing You. Who'd have thunk it?
