It was broadcast at 9pm on Thursday nights, and was successful, but not a major ratings-winner. The second series was aired on Friday nights, and although its ratings were relatively good, the show suffered from a lack of preparation and poor promotion. The show was not given a third series, and Lee and Herring went on to write '' This Morning With Richard Not Judy '', for BBC Two.


MAJOR CHARACTERS

  • Simon Quinlank, a self proclaimed "Hobby Lion" and "King of all hobbies". In each episode, he presents a slot relating to his latest invented hobby. He also has a fondess for "weak lemon drink". Played by the actor Kevin Eldon .


  • "Rod Hull", a recurring character who claims to be the genuine Rod Hull but is in fact an obvious fraud. He has an obsession for jelly (possibly the reason for his attempted imitation is a belief that the real Rod Hull would receive gifts of jelly), and a rubber arm. He persistently claims that the rubber arm is real despite the fact that he has an actual real arm tucked inside his shirt. Also played by Kevin Eldon.


  • Peter, a 29-year old Welsh virgin from Balham who provides lifetsyle tips from his unique perspective, usually cheap (and revolting) alternatives to well known recipes. Played (and written) by Peter Baynham .
