Style
Both coming from a stand-up background, with a strong slant towards improvisational comedy, the style of the show was light, with only the occasional nod toward more serious issues. The pair both had little radio experience beforehand which brought a relaxed and unprofessional style to the show which the listeners enjoyed. The two presenters have been friends for years before coming to the show, and this is evident as the - occasionally spiky - but generally good-natured back-and-forth exchanges on a range of subjects frequently result in a humorous outcome. Listeners have also noted the excellent chemistry between the pair, which often involves mimicking each others voices. For example, Russell would mock Jon's Lancashire accent and use his characteristics to create a more extreme version of Jon. In return, Jon would depict Russell as a very simple West Country man.
