Lampard was joined by comedian Romesh Ranganathan as a regular panellist.

Former professional footballer Jimmy Bullard was the host's assistant in the first series.

The show was made by Hungry Bear Media and the executive producer was Dan Baldwin, Holly Willoughby's husband.

Baldwin stated that the host's lack of sports knowledge would help viewers in the same position.

The show's title came from the phrase used in football; the idea that players should continue with the game, even if they believe play should be stopped for any reason, until the referee has blown his whistle to halt play.
