The show was originally presented by Amanda Hamilton, Tim Lovejoy and Simon Rimmer. In 2010, Louise Redknapp replaced Hamilton.

The show was cancelled in 2012, and Lovejoy and Rimmer moved to Channel 4 to front Sunday Brunch, with a similar format.

Something for the Weekend is the sixth studio album by the British rock group Stackridge. It was released in the UK by Angel Air.

"Something for the Weekend" is a song by The Divine Comedy and the first single from Casanova. It reached 14 in the UK Singles Chart. The song became a hit when Chris Evans heard it at a friend's party and had it played on his radio show the following Monday.

The song itself is about a Lothario (possibly married depending on your interpretation of the chorus) who is trying to seduce a woman, but she tricks him by asking him to investigate strange noises in the woodshed - upon entering her accomplices knock him unconscious and steal his car and money.
