Key moments

Serial game show contestant Carolynne Selway appearing surprised at being picked to appear on the programme. You must have some confidence in getting on by now…

Gilligan himself. The series was based on a series of Instagram games Gilligan had played earlier during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Theme music

For a show seeking to establish Mo Gilligan as a standalone star, it must have rankled that the theme tune (for the first episode anyway) was Big Narstie's biggest hit, Craig David's When the Bassline Drops.

The show also credits Zoom for "Title music".
