Giving the press men a taste of what to expect when the show commences, a prank was played on MTV producer, Tim Horwood . A guy walked in during the course of the briefing, pushed all security men aside, walked towards the Horwood and began to harass him, claiming he owes him a certain amount of money. ' Where's my money! I want my money now! You've been owing me for six months; I'm not leaving here until I get my money ', the heavily-built man screamed as he rough-handled Horwood and pushed him to the floor. Guests were fooled for a minute, until Basketmouth walked in and began to laugh. He (Basketmouth) then told Tim that he had just been pranked. The Big Friday Show will also feature a fashion segment  titled 'cool and fool', filming of Rhythm FM 's on-air-personalities and their guests. Tweets from fans, E-mails, Text messages and creative Facebook comments submitted by viewers by the host will be read out on the show by Basketmouth too!
