It was shown on Channel 4 and aired in the United Kingdom only, though it was broadcast from New York.

It was filmed around 7pm local time, which due to the time difference made it a late-night show in the UK.

Each week, Moore was joined by guests, and one of the regulars was an illegal UK alien in the USA named Nigel.
