Highlights included Rolf Harris (literally) painting the audience, an anecdote in which Cool reminisced about the time he imitated the face of an Aquaphibian from Stingray and it stuck and portraying Terry Wogan as an intergalactic alien from outer space.

His head then explodes revealing a variety of Mechanical works and cogs inside it, the lights go out and the Cool It logo appears on screen.

Filmed in front of a live audience in Birmingham, it included impersonations of the Gremlins, Terry Wogan interviewing Michael Crawford and a routine about the hazards of the M25 Motorway.
