TV show tickets

Morning all,

I went to see Mock The Week being filmed last night (the show that will be aired tomorrow night). We registered with a company called SRO Audiences recently and got an email to say that we had got tickets, so off we popped to Television Centre in White City - that's London for all you up in't north - for a really fun evening.

If you watch the show you'll know the format. It wasn't the best line-up, but it was pretty funny and still really interesting to see the production side of it.

If anyone is interested in doing this, it's totally FREE. Just register your details here: https://www.sroaudiences.com/

Television Centre is conveniently located on Wood Lane, directly opposite Westfield shopping centre. We parked there (£8.50 for I guess about six hours in total), got an early dinner and walked across the road to the studios. Filming started around 7pm and finished around 9:30pm. I never thought I could be tired from laughing! It's a shame really that half of the funniest stuff won't make it to air!

Highly recommended.

I'd love to see that, and the Graham Norton show too.

Last one I saw was Sale of The Century in Norwich. I went a couple of times as my uncle knew Nicholas Parsons. I was there on the night he asked "What is the Capital of France Paris….Bugger!"

I’ve seen Mark Thomas, and the Infinite Monkey Cage at the BBC Radio Theatre near Oxford Circus. Both excellent.
As said, it’s fascinating seeing the production process and there were some hilarious bits that you knew weren’t going to make the broadcast.
The sessions finished off with re-takes for continuity, losing an untimely cough or expletive, or splicing two bits of dialogue together.
