At the 2006 Sony Radio Academy Awards, the series won bronze in the Comedy Award.[2] The later HBO television series of the same name was a spin-off from this radio series.[3]

The series is regularly repeated on BBC Radio 4 Extra.[4]

A Director's Cut release was planned by BBC, which was set to include "outtakes and full-length songs from the duo", and was initially set to be released on 13 November 2008 and was available for pre-order from the BBC Shop.[5] However, the release date was then pushed back to 31 December 2009[6] and later 31 December 2010.[7] The title has not been released, and the BBC Shop eventually removed their product page for the item.
