Ore Oduba: Stoat Alert, Strictly Glory and Hieronymus Bosch

This week on The Harry Hill Show, the team deal with a stowaway stoat before welcoming Ore Oduba — Newsround alumnus, Strictly Come Dancing champion and Rocky Horror Show veteran. Sarah the AI Bot runs through his journey from a sporty Dorset childhood and Loughborough University to a broadcasting career spanning Newsround, Match of the Day Kickabout and the Royal Opera House, plus his unlikely Strictly win. Harry and Ore swap stories about a long-forgotten TV pilot with Janet Street-Porter and Rylan, lockdown’s chaotic drive-in comedy gigs, and treading the boards in The Rocky Horror Show. This week’s Theme of the Week welcomes art historian Verity Babbs to talk us through the deranged genius of Hieronymus Bosch, before Ore puts his knowledge to the test in a game of What Is The Velcro Singing?, and Gary tries out some jokes in his usual corner. 00:00:00 – Stoat Alert 00:02:04 – Licky 00:03:54 – Reminiscing about a forgotten TV pilot with Janet Street-Porter and Rylan 00:05:57 – Ore plugs his podcast “The Actors Safe Space” 00:07:58 – Sarah the AI Bot’s intro and bio: Dorset childhood, school sports and Loughborough 00:10:06 – PE teacher chat and the Steve Redgrave/Olympics mix-up 00:13:29 – Sarah returns with Ore’s broadcasting CV: Newsround, Sportsround, Match of the Day Kickabout 00:14:24 – Newsround nostalgia and why BBC children’s TV lost its way 00:16:19 – The Royal Opera House ballet relays with Darcy Bussell 00:19:06 – Lockdown drive-in gigs and the car-ferry heckling story 00:21:25 – Sarah’s third update: the National Lottery, Claimed and Shamed, This Morning and winning Strictly 00:22:00 – Joining the cast of The Rocky Horror Show 00:26:23 – Theme of the Week: Hieronymus Bosch with art historian Verity Babbs 00:38:16 – What Is The Velcro Singing? 00:40:33 – Gary’s Joke Corner 00:44:01 – Butterfly In Blue Jenas "Ore Oduba" by Wikipedia contributors, used under CC BY-SA 4.0.
