The series is broadcast live without a delay, which has resulted in a number of occasions when the series has accidentally broadcast foul language. Wright had to apologise after special guest Giles Coren repeatedly used a vulgar term for oral sex while he was being interviewed and Rula Lenska accidentally uttered "bollocks" on the programme. Several callers to the programme have used foul language deliberately to cause offence.
In 2002, Wright accidentally named John Leslie on-air as the television presenter being linked to the alleged rape of Ulrika Jonsson. Leslie's career never recovered.
