Following the end of the BBC radio series, Dan Patterson and Mark Leveson, the show's creators, began discussions with the broadcaster on creating a televised adaption of their concept. However, the BBC was hesitant on making the move and delayed making a decision until after further debate on the matter. In the meantime, the producers had been talking to one of their original contestants - Jimmy Mulville - whose newly-founded Hat Trick Productions were keen on the idea. This led to Channel 4, the then-newest terrestrial channel and who also eagerly liked the idea, making an offer that Patterson and Leveson quickly accepted. When the BBC came round to possibly offering a pilot show, even though it was really a "radio idea", they were told "Thanks, but Channel 4 have offered us a 13-part series and we start filming next week." One episode did get shown on BBC1 in 1989, for a Comic Relief segment.
