The special is largely a parody of the ITV series This Morning. Husband and wife presenting team Judy Finnigan and Richard Madeley are imitated by Victoria Wood and Duncan Preston, as married couple "Sally Cumbernauld" and "Martin Crossthwaite" and even This Morning's famous set at the Albert Dock in Liverpool is replicated. Finnigan and Madeley later revealed they loved Wood's spoof of them.
Despite being critically acclaimed and given a prestigious Christmas evening timeslot upon release in 1992, the show has never been repeated or had a DVD release until Christmas Day 2020
Broadcast again for the first time in almost 30 years on BBC One on Christmas Day 2020.
