Really loved this show - I'd recommend doing more episodes of it. Especially the "Alan, Alan, Alan" gags. Decision's entirely yours, though.

I suspect because it was a pilot, they only had access to so much copyright material, obviously this is just to show the shape and format of the show to those potentially commissioning it.
The show has a lot more funny and diverse material through the couple of series it did. The main sketches that most remember from this show weren’t even featured in this pilot.
It’s not groundbreaking tv but it’s not pretending to be either. It’s just a nice, fluffy half an hour that’s pleasant to watch.
It started on BBC One by the way, and was then cut down into little 15 minute children friendly episodes to show on CBBC a year or so later.
