Not that important I guess but is BOTS not always live, and if not how often is this and when do they record it instead? I think I saw Rylan at the NTAs the other night so I'm supposing he recorded BOTS well before then in the afternoon / evening given the distance from Elstree to the O2 (especially with the bad traffic around that area of London too!) I'm also guessing that that day's main highlights show is fully edited and ready for the BOTS recording if they record BOTS in the afternoon? Thanks

I think during the week it's recorded in the afternoon but on Fridays after the eviction it's live.
Also Tuesday it was recorded a hour earlier.

Don't think it's even live on Friday now with the programme between shows they have time to edit

Thanks, interesting! I got the sense through some posts here it was recorded occasionally, but didn't realise that was the norm. I thought it was live pretty much all the time I've been watching Is it just easier all round in terms of guests and audience?
