This edition did not make the national Top 100.
Both of the "Bores" have the first name of Geoff.
Harry Enfield disclosed that he'd initially wanted the character of DJ Dave Nice to have a darker edge than shown in the series.
In the 1997 book "Harry Enfield and his Humorous Chums", Harry revealed: "I had a different sort of character in mind. I wanted him to think he was 'mad' and 'daft' but in fact be totally humourless and incredibly pompous. I wanted Nicey to think that because the odd looney wrote to him telling him he was great, he thought that the whole nation was in awe of him, hanging on to every one of his idiotic thoughts. I wanted him to be mean-spirited, not a very nice man.
But the first time I did him in the studio, the audience just found him too unpleasant. So we had to go back to the drawing board and make him into a cuddly old buffoon, always going on about his 'young friend', though never admitting he was gay, and talking rubbish with Smashie to his heart's content. It was only in my special, Smashie and Nicey - The End of an Era, that I allowed the true, nasty Nicey, to really come out."
