Victoria Wood found the series to be a "boring, diabolical and awful" experience and regretted not having an actual studio audience during recordings.
The six scripts for this series were published in 1990 by Victoria Wood as "Mens Sana In Thingummy Doodah and Five Other Nuggets of Homely Fun".
In a tongue-in-cheek introduction titled "How a television series is made", Wood wrote: "Our audience were having such a good time they forgot to laugh! Never mind, let's switch on this clever machine that sounds almost like an audience laughing. Let's turn it up really loud, then everyone will know just how funny our 'programme' is."

Despite there being no second series, the programme was a reasonably sizeable hit with viewers, averaging at 18th place in the charts.
