Trivia

The series was stripped across the week with the first four episodes airing at 11.05pm and the final airing right after episode four, at 12.05… in the morning, to 40,000 viewers. Which sounds like C5 was trying to bury it — though at least it fared better than Mark Wright's last attempt at a primetime game show, My Man Can, which failed to air at all.
