The show frequently contained swearing, sexual innuendo and nudity, and because of this it was usually shown late at night. The show sometimes featured deleted out scenes from the news and soaps as well as documentaries and many other TV programmes. From 2004 to 2005, the show consisted of a voiceover and continuous clips, with commentary from Neil Morrisey who took over from Penk.
