Thats the end of the flipper radio on Ken Bruce popmaster. Hello to the MP3 player.
Did anyone win one? I wonder what they look like. |

 Brilliant...comic genius  This place is such a joy.
That flipper thing looks rubbish. A DAB would be a much better prize. Dead impressed with our DAB. |

| I would assume a flipper radio is a small radio that has some sort of flip lid to it. The sort of thing you get on a magazine cover. |

That's a 'flipper radio'? It looks more like something that the baddies might stick to the underneath of a boat that they suspect James Bond of being aboard when trying to blow him up in one of those films!

I don't think either are the radio that Ken was giving away.
I can vaguely remember seeing a pic of Lynn Bowles holding one up to the webcam when they changed from the previous type. It was oblong and looked like the the ends folded in, if that makes sense!

| I read recently shower radios were poor quality to use, in a shower. |

I always equate a radio in a shower with the old habit of smoking on a bus. Surely something which you can do without for ten minutes.

Mark the Flipper radio wasn't a shower radio. Did they give those away before the Flipper one? I can't remember.

| I do think an MP3 Player isn't exciting prize. If a way you listen to radio will be by digital, a digital Radio would be much better. |

You get a Digital Radio if you win "3-in-10" - the prizes have to be different or what's the point?
