Its first series aired in October 2003, and was presented by Johnny Vaughan, with the second series fronted by Christian O'Connell. It is currently hosted by Colin Murray and is aired on Saturday mornings for an hour between 11:00 and 12:00. The programme's tenth series began the weekend after the 2012 Summer Olympics; the show won a second prestigious gold Sony Radio Academy Award in the sports programme category in 2011. Judges paid tribute to the old-fashioned Music Hall style of the show and Martin Kelner's many anecdotes.
