The first episode introduces us to some of the features which will run throughout both series, such as Simon Quinlank's hobbies, Peter's poverty stricken life and the general disaparaging of Somerset people. Lee and Herring leap from crates at the beginning of the show, and Richard is excited about meeting Jeremy Paxman 'off the telly'. The Gall-Ery makes its television debut. Rich asks viewers to send in their contributions in the hope of getting an 'I Love Fist Of Fun' badge and having their work ridiculed and thrown into a burning bin. Also introduced is the running joke of Rich not knowing what a simile is.
