The complete series has been released on a CD by the BBC. Cook received the sole writing credit whilst Morris also produced the series.
Morris played a variation on the abrasive interviewer character he had perfected on The Day Today, cleverly prompting Cook into some of his best work. The short pieces provide further insights into the Streeb-Greebling character that Cook had created for Not Only... But Also in 1965. Topics of conversation include Streeb-Greebling's work with eels, his role in the racial violence following the Rodney King trial, his military career and his habit of strangling his business partners. The listener learns that Streeb-Greebling was put in prison by his father at the age of four and hears of his next project: cloning from the fossilised remains of the infant Christ with the assistance of BMW, Honda and Sony.

@@Perry_Winkle That's the segment of the Video where they showed her tearing up a picture of the Pope on SNL.
The problem with that - was that no one had any idea why she was tearing up a picture of the Pope.
One of the things that happens to you if you say something that sets a lot of people (or even one) off emotionally - is that from that moment on - the people you are dealing with are in Broadcast Only Mode. That is - they are so busy screaming at you that they are not listening to anything you say.
Another example of this would be John Lennon's remark that the Beatles were more popular than Christ. Here - he hadn't thought that was a good thing - but - people chose to think he was bragging - and no one was listening to his attempt to explain what he meant.
Now here - another factor in things like this - is you have people pushing an Agenda of some kind - who are taking advantage of the situation to push that agenda - without regard to the actual facts of the situation. They don't care about the facts - they only care about pushing their Agenda - and you have a lot of that.
