One of the most innovative and noteworthy features of Double the Fist is its extensive and imaginative use of CGI, especially considering that the programme was produced for a very low budget, even by Australian standards ($250,000 for all 8 episodes).

Each episode contains a separate part of Steve's plan, and a new award, the 'Man of Fist', is presented to the most fistworthy team member each week.

However, the second series featured an in-depth storyline (possibly added to increase the show's praise), and vastly improved digital effects.

From 2002 to 2003, the team, minus Anderson who was lecturing at the time, made Saturday Morning Fly, a kid's music/comedy program for ABC.

Their work on Video Dare and Saturday Morning Fly allowed the team to perfect their use of special effects and the pilot for Double the Fist was soon made.

In 2004, Double the Fist caused some controversy when it won an AFI award in the category of Best Television Comedy- Sit-com or Sketch.

Compared to that series, Double the Fist was not as well known, and the comedy was deemed by the casual observer as something more akin to the American show Jackass.

The following day, many newspaper columnists printed their disgust that such a puerile and juvenile show had been selected by the AFI over the more popular Kath & Kim with one describing it as "the unfunniest joke of the night".

Craig Anderson and Doug Bayne are currently working on a new interactive "Double The Fist" website,[9] which will feature weekly content, tricks and games, and a Steve Foxx blog.
