The series was filmed in a sound stage in West London, with the set designed to resemble a cabaret club.[1] The programme's house band included drummer Ray Weston (of Wishbone Ash)[2] and members of Pink Floyd's touring band.[3]
The first episode, which debuted on 14 April 1993, was hosted by Tom Jones.[4] Subsequent hosts included Julian Clary, Mark Lamarr, Mike McShane, Jools Holland, Mark Thomas, Eartha Kitt, Paul O'Grady as Lily Savage, and Lee Evans.[1] Competition for slots on the show was intense, with many stars of the British alternative comedy circuit hoping to make an appearance.[5] In addition to the show's British stars, regular international guests included Americans Greg Proops and Sandra Bernhard, and Australia's Doug Anthony All Stars.[3]
