Yes, that's the ONLY thing I remember that show for!
The over-run was pre-arranged without Liza's knowledge as she'd been adamant there would be no farewell.
I really enjoyed the Johnny & Liza era although unfortunately a lot of damage was done during that time. During Kelly Brook's tenure the show was still generating 5% of Channel 4's entire earnings (to put it into perspective, that was more than any other show, including Friends). During 2000 that dropped to 3%, largely due to an aging demographic.
Surprising then the 2001 revamp wasn't more focused on bringing in a younger demographic. I know Dermot has said he was offered the job when Johnny left which may have ticked that box more than Tonkinson or Bacon but their other signings at the time didn't obviously suggest they were after a younger audience.
IIRC ratings held up much better than critics would have you believe when Kelly was on the show.
The 'I love the Queen Mum' jingle and the bouncing Queen Mum from behind the clock every minute or so.

Looks like the current owners have sold up or are ready to move.

Two random images of the house as it is now.

Always found it odd that the house was spared considering its in the tip of an island which was all taken over for the Olympics. The boundary of the Olympic site was the northern boundary of the house
Yeah it's a new school, a legacy from the Olympics. That is literally where the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park starts. The house was very lucky not to have been flattened.

Not wanting to take this thread off-topic, but ... Netscape? On a ZX Spectrum?!?

I didn't detect any piss taking going on. But now you mention it, the joke did go over my head earlier.
Quite clearly taking the piss out of JasonB.
