I went to the dream factory to see a couple of episodes being filmed, shortly after the Box 23 twist, by then I think they had axed the ‘random’ contestant picker bit too!
I also seem to remember they had the ‘stats board’ at that point which spoiled the fact there had been another quarter millionaire for people attending the recording as it had yet to air!
Mark Olver did the warm up, last time I saw him was at a £100K Drop recording. There was of course the episode where he surprised Noel with the fake ‘power 5 all gone in first round’ setup!
I also went to Deal On Tour in Blackpool but that was a bit pointless as they filmed it at the top of the tower and the pilgrims had to watch it all from a TV in the ballroom anyway! I still have my stick of rock from the contestant finding 1p in the first round!
