ITV do not want to have the BBC logo on their prime time Saturday night show, so no surprises there that they covered the logo. They are lucky that Television Centre logo outside on the famous Studio TC1 building does not have BBC on there anymore.

I'm half expecting the endcap to tonights show to state: A Thats TV/Made In Co-Production for ITV This episode of SNT is amateur hour!!

Sound bloody terrible, audience irritating, the studio mics sound echoey. Hating every minute of it.

Maybe turn over and watch something else instead?


Oh come oh. This is a mess compaired to "normal" SNT.

Can't be helped at the moment, they're doing their best. Granted the virtual audience will probably be tweaked next week.

This is a really poor episode.

I'm glad I'm missing this looking at the recent posts on here.

(From what I've heard anyways, not trying to be horrible, it's the best they can do right now)

I doubt Joe Public would notice a small BBC logo in a corridor during the walk and talk and think anything of it...

And why are they lucky? It's no longer BBC Television Centre. The development is called Television Centre and is now named as such.

You think it’s bad this week, I understands next weeks star guest announcer is an up and coming young chap from the ITV continuity department.

Really? I haven’t smiled/laughed this much in weeks & many on Twitter are saying the same.

Technically it’s fine, a few things to tweak but hey, it’s a different climate for a show like this. They’ve done well to adapt, loving the rainbow in the sky.

75 seconds instead of 60 for Win the Ads due to the delay.

Seems they're proving the point as to why many earlier entertainment shows were pre-recorded in order to get the levels of the virtual audience correct. I think this is the first one to attempt it live other than the last half hour of the BGT Final.

Looks like we don't know what Karen has won as Karen is watching the show. Surely they could just get her to turn around?

Agree, wouldn't say it was poor. The actual content is vintage takeaway - surprise done over a year, one of the better Get Out Me Ears, Olly has been a great announcer and Stephen actually had some decent gags and happiest minute worked really well.

The audience undoubtedly needs tweaking, to be honest I'd be tempted to "enhance" some of the cues, such as the laugh track. The sound can be a bit muffled, don't know if it was me, but it sounded like they were booing Stephen when he came on at first!

To be fair though, it's the sign of the times.

Sure, they could have used the laughter tracks, but they likely wanted the audience to be involved one way or another, that's what SNT is all about.
