Throughout the programme, Carr and Forbes/Sykes would encourage listeners to phone in with mostly amusing stories about a topic on daily life, which was usually related to what was in the week's news.
Carr had turned on the famous Blackpool Illuminations the previous night, and the show also contained live music from Mika.

Other famous faces to stand in on the show included former Spice Girl Melanie C, television presenters Kate Thornton and Penny Smith, talent show winner Jodie Prenger, comedian Stephen K. Amos, Christopher Biggins and Anneka Rice.
