Inspiration!

About this show

A listener's plea for help with slugs somehow gave Kev and Nixxi a brand-new gardening feature. Stuart wanted to stop them destroying his lettuces, cabbages and vegetables, so Nixxi suggested building a wall of salt while listeners offered copper strips and beer traps. Gordon's plan was to let the slugs get wrecked and drown, while another listener proposed a used Fray Bentos pie tin filled with cheap beer. The gardening advice became steadily less horticultural from there.

Kev and Nixxi also launched Inspiration at 9.40, in which Nixxi read supposedly motivational messages from Twitter in her most inspirational voice over suitably dramatic music. The first offering warned people not to criticise others because it reflected badly on themselves. Return of the Track brought back Baby Cakes after the previous week's attempt to get it back to number one, complete with the ridiculous hashtags that had accompanied the campaign.

Simon returned for SmeggHeads after a two-week gap, while Mustang demanded a special mention after threatening to stop listening because Kev and Nixxi had forgotten to say hello. The final half-hour was handed over largely to listener requests, including choices from David and Dawn. Baby Cakes refused to go away completely, with a caller demanding it again before Kev was challenged to sing it himself. By the end of the night Kev had also decided to turn his social-media posts into a book and call his latest literary masterpiece Fifty Shades of Dre.

SmeggHeads finished as a draw, and Kev and Nixxi agreed to leave it that way rather than force another decider.
