Sophisticated as Hell: Some of the cards have apparently been written just to get this out of Hugh.

comment
Strictly Formula: Moreso than Whose Line and even Mock The Week — all-player games start the show, "Sideways Scene" always ends the show (except for episode 6), and this time 'quickie' games, usually a quick Q&A session involving no more than three of the players, are used to fill up time between the usual games.

The Big Guy: Justin Edwards, Greg Davies, and Tom Parry. Humphrey Ker has the height for it though.

Casting Gag

comment
Casting Gag: Possibly for Hugh Dennis, whose old-school BBC-announcer voice gets extra airtime as he doubles up as host and announcer.

Overly Long Gag
 Fast and Loose / int_a188ac4b
comment
Overly-Long Gag: One game of "Forward/Reverse" basically had Jonathan doing the same full-on kiss with Jess, over and over. This Crosses the Line Twice when Wayne gets subjected to the same thing... with Humphrey Ker. Happens in another "Forward/Reverse", when Tom and Pippa were made to do the same full-on kiss over and over, resulting in Tom stating that his back was going.

Deliberately Monochrome: "Early TV", meant to present how recent TV shows would be like if they were created in the '40s.

Writing Around Trademarks: Several new games involve taking the premise wholesale from other actual shows, so this happens a lot ("Weak Links", "Dragon's Lair" etc.)
