Punderland XI: Books

OJ's celebrating the National Year of Reading this week with your celebrity book puns, for example; The Catcher in the Rye-lan, or Alice's Adventures in Stevie Wonder-land.

OJ's celebrating the National Year of Reading this week with your celebrity book puns, for example; The Catcher in the Rye-lan, or Alice's Adventures in Stevie Wonder-land. Plus, Midnight Mastermind, Wish You Were There and Shiftfaced.

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. Do you want to take part and quiz OJ?

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 is where OJ’s sent a basic mobile phone out to New Zealand, and calls it at 2.15am exactly. But who will answer it next? Will it get answered? Listen to find out!
