The actor Kevin Eldon also reprised two of his characters from the earlier Lee & Herring series "Fist of Fun", Simon Quinlank (the "King of Hobbies") and his portrayal of "the false Rod Hull" as a jelly fanatic with a false arm and giant chin. A run of sketches featuring Eldon as the false Rod Hull was filmed for the second series, but dropped when the real Rod Hull died just prior to the start of the series. A new sketch was filmed as a tribute and featured as the closing item of the last programme in the series. (Rod Hull had taken this in good humour and had featured in one episode of "Fist of Fun" as a guest, pouring scorn on the false Rod Hull.)
