The series was called "The Last Resort" because Jonathan Ross was literally the last resort to host it.
The in-house band for the first series was Nick Plytas and Ecstacy. From series two onward they were replaced by Steve Nieve and the Playboys.
The characters of Mrs Tina Bishop and Dr Martin Scrote were introduced in series three and went on to appear as semi-regulars throughout the remainder of the run.
Veteran announcer John Benson joined the show in the second series as an in-vision announcer and sidekick to Jonathan Ross.
