Peel praised the show constantly , citing in particular the Chanel 9 sketches (which portrayed a low-budget TV station with presenters who spoke in a made-up language containing elements of Greek, Portuguese and Spanish, and Aherne as a weather girl who seemed surprised that the temperature of the weather was always 45 degrees: "Scorchio!"), and Paul Whitehouse's dated and unfunny music hall comedian In 2001, Weir and Peel were guests on the Radio 4 programme A Good Read.

  • Peel praised the show constantly , citing in particular the Chanel 9 sketches (which portrayed a low-budget TV station with presenters who spoke in a made-up language containing elements of Greek, Portuguese and Spanish, and Aherne as a weather girl who seemed surprised that the temperature of the weather was always 45 degrees: "Scorchio!"), and Paul Whitehouse's dated and unfunny music hall comedian Arthur Atkinson (reminiscent of Arthur Askey), whom Peel regarded as more documentary of that era than spoof when playing a contemporary Pig's Big 78. He also referenced the show's catchphrases (for example, 01 March 1996). John amassed a collection of VHS recordings of the first series, and according to Paul Whitehouse, wrote about the show in his Radio Times column in praise of it, until Paul called him and embarrasedly asked him to stop (possibly an apocryphal story told for comic effect). Whitehouse was subsequently invited as a guest on This Is Your Life, whence comes the aforementioned anecdote. Although another series and a film was mooted, it appears the show has run its course: a spin-off based on the Swiss Toni character ran for two series. All programmes have been released on DVD, and a number of complete shows can be viewed on YouTube. In 2001, Weir and Peel were guests on the Radio 4 programme A Good Read.
