The series title is based on the title of the Artful Dodger and Craig David song " Re-Rewind (The Crowd Say Bo Selecta)". David is one of the main characters and speaks in catchphrases such as "proper bo I tell thee" and "can I get a reeewind". Much of the show's humour is derived from the deliberate ineptitude of each impersonation and general incongruity; scenes include Avid slapping Justin Timberlake with slices of cold meat, and trying to seduce Patsy Kensit while in character as Mel B. The Bear decides to move out of his treehouse and find himself a family... but not quite everything goes to plan. The Bear interviews Edith Bowman; Avid attends the movie premiere of Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, former Take That member Mark Owen makes an unexpected appearance and Avid has sex with a plastic model of Kim Cattrall and other members of Sex in the City. While Helena and Richard celebrate their last night of freedom, Bear is sent to stay with cousin Kelly Osbourne. Helena and Richard get married at the same time as Dave and Sue. As the wedding takes place, even Bear can't hide his joy and makes up with sister Lilian after treating her like a supporting actress.

Avid interviews a number of celebrity guests, including Myleene Klass, Vernon Kay, Dermot O'Leary and Craig Phillips.
