It first aired on ITV on 6 May 2017 and ran for two series with a total of 11 episodes. The show features the duo recreating iconic Hollywood films in a condensed, humorous format, often with the help of celebrity guests. The series originated from a sketch in The Keith Lemon Sketch Show and was commissioned by ITV after a pilot in 2016. The first series included parodies of films like Dirty Dancing, Ghostbusters, Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, Jaws, and Rocky. The second series, which aired in 2018, featured parodies of Grease, Top Gun, Pretty Woman, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Jurassic Park, and a Christmas special parodying Gremlins. The show is described as a "comedic tribute" to some of Francis and McGuinness's favorite films, combining parody with affectionate homage. It has been praised for its inventive plots, chemistry between the leads, and humorous adaptations of classic movies, though reception varies by episode
