An English DJ, who works for the BBC, had to do the breakfast show from her mobile phone when she got stuck in a traffic jam caused by bad weather. During the four-hour show, a producer played the songs from the studio. The DJ, Anna Foster, had to improvise interviews with unusual guests such as police officers and ordinary people who were stuck in the same traffic jam.
