Taking a similar format to Chris Morris and Lee & Herring's radio shows that were broadcast around the same time, Armando Iannucci was flanked throughout these shows by Peter Baynham and David Schneider. Also making appearances (with varying degrees of regularity) are Richard Herring, Stewart Lee, Rebecca Front and Steve Coogan. Iannucci's considerable editing skills are given showcases with The Best Of....Simon Bates' "Our Tune" while his imagination runs riot over a number of subjects and phone in ideas. Guests contribute characters and seemingly ad-libbed ideas throughout the shows. The first series consists of two half-hour shows, the second of four hour-long outings.
