Anybody know what studio it's done? Tonight's was hosted by Ore the sports guy, so I assumed it would have been done local to Salford. But the guest was Martin Shaw, talking about Hobson's Choice which he's doing in London.
So has Ore gone dahn south or Martin gone oop north...?

But not made public ..... For security,
They don't record, it's done live
Oh, you know what I mean - *film*...
Ta. I've never paid that close attention to it
Regarding Ore, maybe he lives down south and commutes northwards to do the sport...
They record a whole years worth in advance, usually in January.
Strangely there's a high turnover in the crew. Every year they try to hire the same people again but they've all retired or moved to Barbados. Very odd.
Oh, cut me some slack, I meant record as in "do", "make", "film" etc!
Anyway, thanks for the replies above
''Film'' is a means of recording
Blimey, you won't all let it lie will you? Sorry I asked now
I actually didn't mean that. Just thought I'd joke about it being recorded a year in advance and the crew all winning the jackpots. Wasn't a dig.
And the early TV cameras recorded onto film, that then ran into a tank of developer before being scanned by the TV camera a couple of seconds later.
Er, sorry to be perdantic, but the process was :-
Film camera - film development- film fixation-film washed- film (still wet) scanned by a telecine machine, and a little more than a couple of secs delay.
I don’t know what location he does his lottery voiceover from... but isn’t his Strictly voiceover all pre-recorded anyway.
As he does not say a lot and mainly calls the judges names for the points repeatedly, this could well be the case, someone in the control room pressing a button or clicking a mouse.
I've always wondered, what gauge of film did the intermediate film system use. Was it actually 35mm or something like 24mm?
