Why are you up late?

We know why Sabrina Carpenter is up late; she's a singer. But OJ wants to know why are you up late? Heading home after a gig, or just starting work?

We know why Sabrina Carpenter is up late; she's a singer. But OJ wants to know why are you up late? Heading home after a gig, or just starting work! Plus a Midnight Mastermind, Wish You Were There, Midnight Caller and a huge Ravio 2 to end the week.

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 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!
