Louis Theroux, Professor Brian Cox and Two Surprise Guests #537

Louis Theroux, Professor Brian Cox and Two Surprise Guests #537

Author: Radio X March 13, 2026 Duration: 1:36:58

Chris and the team are back after a week away - which means normal chaos has officially resumed… with a BANG!

This week’s show had everything from Chris braving a driverless car, Dom announcing that his favourite word is quench (even though we’ve literally never ever heard him say that until now), and Captain getting a haircut in a very unusual location… a bus! Plus, some Chris Moyles show classics: Reverse Words, Stupid Amnesty and a fresh batch of your brilliantly ridiculous WhatsApp Messages!


Our first visit was Louis Theroux, making his Netflix debut with his brand new documentary! Inspired by what his teenage sons have been watching online, Louis dives into the mysterious and controversial world of the “manosphere”.


We were also joined by Professor Brian Cox, who returned to chat about space, science, his role working with the United Nations, and his upcoming Emergence world tour. Plus he admits that he thinks knowing absolutely everything about the universe might actually ruin the fun.


And it doesn’t stop there, somehow amongst all that there’s still more…

  1. One finger boom!
  2. Polly has a Guess Who!
  3. Aaron-Alan’s car noises


P.S. We had a gap for guests on Wednesday’s show, so Chris said “if you’re famous and have something to plug”, then make yourself known! We had two excellent takers of said offer, and those who hate spoilers, don’t read the next part…


Surprise guest number one… was the legendary Barry Scott from the Cillit Bang commercials! You know, BANG! And the dirt is gone!


And, surprise guest number two… Jamie Oliver popped in to surprise the team and even taught Chris and Dom a bit of Italian! Jamie’s Italian 2.0 is now open around the corner from the studio, so naturally he popped in to tell us all about it – and left everyone extremely hungry!


Enjoy!
