The show was recorded the week of broadcast at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club.
One famous guest appearance was Canadian comedy legend Leslie Nielsen (series 3, episode 8).
Currently, Van Man just plays the main sound effect of the week.
Benn normally chooses a music-related candidate and sings a song relating to it, Longworth or Greenall often do stories about dumb criminals (frequently American), and Perkins covers something sexual.
Originally he also chose the winner of each section; now it is done by a topical "guest announcer" (impersonated).
