Hi, Just got them through on email. I went with my sister last year as my wife was ill. I know you need to get there really early - we got there about 1pm I think. I seem to remember someone saying you could use the BBC canteen for refreshments / loo breaks whilst in the queue. Is that the case, and where is it please?

Also - parking. Now the Westfield shopping centre is open, is that the best place to park? I know it's expensive, but convenience costs! lat time we parked at the one the other side of Sheperd's Bush Green, and it looks as this might be a little closer.

Hi Stewie, I went a couple of weeks ago. We parked in the car park the other side of Shepherd's Bush green because we were there from 10am and it worked out a lot cheaper. If you are getting there at 1pm you could probably park at Westfield. Both car park tarifs are online because I checked it all out before going! As for the queueing, there is a toilet in the BBC building but not refreshments, not all day anyway. However, Westfield is a 3 minute walk away where you can get anything you need - and more! Hope you have a fab time!

How JAMMY to have got tickets two years in a row. Ive applied every year and never been successful!

Do bear in mind though that the 21st show is the day after Children in Need so don't they always do it in a smaller studio (ie many less seats) for the audience??

A friend went to the post CIN show a couple of years ago and there was only about half the GP seats as normal... funnily enough there were the same amount of production guest seats!

I would imagine the Westfield car park would be very expensive for a whole day unless there is some offer on. I live round there, it was complete gridlock around Westfield (on all 4 sides) last weekend. Arrive as early as you can - it took me about 45 mins to go half a mile last Saturday.

Or park further out and get the tube to the White City. Probably cheaper too!
