In the show four regulars, primarily [[Graeme Garden]], [[Tim Brooke-Taylor]], [[Barry Cryer]] and, (until December 1996, [[Willie Rushton]]), are given 'silly things to do' under the chairmanship of 'Humph' ([[Humphrey Lyttelton]]), while [[Colin Sell]] provides the musical accompaniment, and is the foil for much of the humour, for example: "We've just heard some great news — I'm very pleased to announce that the BBC have arranged a special collection of Colin's entire work... they've bagged it up and the council are sending some men round for it on Tuesday."

The show has a cult following, notably a Mrs. Trellis of [[North Wales]], and supports the care in the community initiative by providing work for geriatric comic performers and superannuated jazz musicians. Samantha sits on Humph's right hand and scores regularly.
