During a discussion about the Bob Skeleton event at that year's Winter Olympics, the suggestion arose that a character with that name could be the star of Brand and Fielding's next show together. The pair subsequently became known as the "Goth Detectives" (opposed to their original name, which arose from a joke Jimmy Carr made about their supposed parentage), which was suggested for the show's title. Though it began as a joke, the pair eventually performed a "Goth Detectives" sketch for the Teenage Cancer Trust event at the Royal Albert Hall on 28 March 2007.
