Which chaser did you get to see, or is that classified information?

I don't think we should be discussing content of an unaired show - sorry!

Why? As along as you dont tell us if there won or lost or who was in it.

On The London Studios twitter account, they are acting as if this was the last day the complex would be operating. https://twitter.com/London_Studios/status/991015961347182592 "This really is a wrap as we say a very fond farewell from The London Studios. It has been home from home for generations of crew and support staff. A big, big thank you to all the programme makers who have made our jobs a pleasure. See you on the other side."

I see on the Hatrick Productions website that Have I Got New For You will be moving to Elstree Studios in October 2018. Thursday 4th October 2018 will be their first edition recorded there. Probably using either Stage 8 or 9 at Elstree.

Today is the last day the studios function with all the employed staff. Anything remaining in the studios (HIGFY etc.) will be serviced solely by freelancers. All support staff etc. are officially redundant.

Not quite all staff I think. A number are being retained for a while to assist with the technical decommissioning of the site.

Agreed - but I would say that if they want to keep it a total surprise as to who the Chaser is, studio staff needed to learn to carry their clipboards round the other way. Both the warmup and Bradley were at pains to point out that they didn't know who it was til they came out. The rest of us only needed to look at the list of production guests as one staff member walked past, as "XXX XXX's GUEST" was clearly marked on at least two people's list of production guests Rolling Eyes Razz

I just heard the CA says Vanessa Feltz will be dropping by the South Bank on This Morning tomorrow.

Either the CA didn't get the memo or they're playing a horrible trick on Vanessa.

Vanessa may just turn out to be a fake guest of course.
Ittr, Lou Scannon and peprice gave kudos
