Save for the odd clip from a compilation programme, no tapes of this series have been kept by Grampian, thanks to a mass clearout of their archives when the station moved studios in 2003. The reason for the clearout was...storage.

The Renaissance Man of BBC Sport, Dougie Donnelly, presides over two teams of comedians who were posed questions by ver Donnelly. Much time was taken up taking the Michael out of Dougie's hair/clothes/career.
