The One Show Special is the second non-numbered special of No Such Thing As A Fish, and the 47th episode of 2015. It features regular presenters James Harkin, Andrew Hunter Murray, Anna Ptaszynski, and Dan Schreiber. It was recorded at Broadcasting House.
Although The One Show's hosts Matt Baker and Alex Jones, and guest John Bishop can all be heard at various points during the episode, they are not considered “guest presenters” of Fish because they did not choose or present one of the episode’s facts of the week.
