Production
A pilot episode was made in 2006 for Channel 4 by Room 5 Productions, with Dean Lennox Kelly, Warwick Davis and Raquel Cassidy in the lead roles. ITV Studios began searching for funding from record companies and radio stations to produce a second series for the show, but to no avail, so only one season was made.

This was the second time O'Dowd played a radio DJ; he had previously done this in the comedy movie The Boat That Rocked.

Episodes
In addition to the title being a theme for each episode, they are also all names of songs; continuing the shows music related subject matter. The songs from each title are "Last Night a DJ Saved My Life" by Indeep, "System Addict" by Five Star, "Return to Sender" by Elvis Presley, "Golden Lady" by Stevie Wonder, "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles, and "Blinded by the Light" by Manfred Mann's Earth Band.
