The show was a success and nominated for the Chortle Award for Best Full Length Show 2008.[4] White and Ward currently co-present on Dave Gorman's Sunday morning show on Absolute Radio, where White has a regular slot performing an improvised song, covering as many of the topics discussed on that week's show as possible.
