| The pilot for the show was recorded in 1967. The chairman was originally planned to be Jimmy Edwards but he was unavailable on the proposed recording dates and was replaced by Nicholas Parsons. Whilst executives at the BBC disliked the pilot, its producer, David Hatch, threatened to resign if he could not oversee a full series. Not wishing to lose Hatch, the BBC relented. David went on to become Head of Light Entertainment in the seventies, Director of Programmes in the eighties, and Managing Director of the BBC from 1987-1993.
