Trivia
The seventh episode of the eleventh series was tested out as a TV pilot for BBC Two Scotland on 30 November 2018 as part of the Funny Firsts season. The twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth series were broadcast on radio and TV on the newly launched BBC Scotland. These were essentially the same programme: it remained a radio show first and foremost, but the recordings were also filmed and broadcast on TV a few hours after the radio show went out.
The Covid-19 pandemic caused the show to revert to radio-only; the 15th and 16th series had the guests contributing from home. Three TV specials appeared in 2021 (a look back at 2020 on New Year's Day, a Valentines special in February and a Euro 2020 edition on 17 June) but otherwise the show is once again audio-only. It seems in no immediate danger of being pulled from radio, but equally it appears unlikely to return to television, bar the occasional one-off.
