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. From the twelfth series onwards, the show was broadcast on radio and TV on the newly launched BBC Scotland. These are essentially the same programme: it remains a radio show first and foremost, but the recordings are also filmed and broadcast on TV a few hours after the radio show goes out.
