Sketches of the show included a character who liked to run around shouting the show's title "Monkey Trousers" (Reeves), the moronic, yet fearless 'Croc Botherer' and Alistair the hopeless estate agent, who replies to every question with "I don't know" (both played by Mortimer), the swearing chef (Thomson), the 'Geordie Astronauts' (played by Reeves, Mortimer and Benton), a shouting policeman (Morrissey), a 1950s footballer (McGowan), and Roy the eerie, lonely toy-shopkeeper (Coogan).
A DVD of the series was released on 4 July 2005, which includes the unaired episode.
