The series attempted to book the post-punk band Half Man Half Biscuit, but they could not come as they were watching their favorite football team Tranmere Rovers at the time. They were offered all kinds of sweeteners to attend, including the production company filming the match for them, which they declined. They were even offered a helicopter to fly them up for the show and get them back again in time for the second half. Following much effort which ultimately failed, they were asked why they did not write a song about Tranmere Rovers if they liked them so much, to which they replied that they "don't do love songs."
