Female guests included Lucy Porter, Jo Caulfield, Julia Morris, Sarah Kendall, Kitty Flanagan, Nina Conti, Geraldine McNulty and Nina Wadia.

Most shows were recorded at The Drill Hall in London, although some were recorded at the Pleasance during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Some of series eight and one show of series nine were recorded at the University of London Union on Malet Street.

Production for the show started on Tuesdays, when the commissioned would meet at Broadcasting House at Portland Place. The show also had an open door policy, allowing non-commissioned writers to submit unsolicited scripts.

A 'best of' compilation album was released in August 2003, and shows were often repeated on BBC7.
