[2] Lycett's aunts, Pauline and Margaret,[7] are in the audience each week[2] and are announced during the starting period of the show, alongside his "local corner shop" owner, Hardev,[2] Yshee Black and Don One.

There was also a recurring segment that as part of Lycett's scheme to hire trainees with no previous experience, Linda Biscuits, portrayed by Chilli the labrador, is shown appearing with the production team.

Another similar segment to this occurs where a small dog is asked by Lycett where his aunties are located as they were not in the audience at the time.

Featured in each episode in series one is artwork, used to decorate the set, from local Birmingham artists such as Tat Vision, Fokawolf, Hannah Alshemmeri, Dion Kitson, Imbue and others.

The show is filmed live at The Bond in Digbeth[2] [10] and is produced by Channel 4, Rumpus Media and My Options Were Limited, Joe Lycett's production company.
