Making plans for Nigel

OJ is live through the night from Salford, making enquiries about the name Nigel. Plus Midnight Mastermind, Wish You Were There, Shiftfaced and Midnight Caller.

OJ is live through the night from Salford, making enquiries about the name Nigel. Plus Midnight Mastermind, Wish You Were There, Shiftfaced and Midnight Caller.

Midnight Mastermind is the quiz where you ask the questions and test OJ on your own specialist subject. He never knows the subject beforehand and has just one song to revise before facing the questions.

Wish You Were There is your chance to soundtrack a story or situation that OJ will tell you all about. He wants your suggestions for the perfect song to capture that moment.

Midnight Caller sees OJ follow a burner phone around New Zealand, not knowing who will answer it next!
