Interesting the original made in Birmingham or was it Nottingham?
The new one made in Leeds, I thought it was going to be made in Manchester?

May have been moved - isn't there an asbestos problem with one of the Manchester studios?

Well at least it's going to have a proper host, Dave's good, when I first saw this I thought, as it was on Challenge it would have someone useless.

Nottingham - Jim Bowen would often say to contestants "welcome to Nottingham" on the programme.

The same thing happened with Treasure Hunt. When Chatsworth made the new series for BBC2 Challenge stopped showing the repeats of the original. The new TH on BBC2 was also a half-hearted, watered down version of the original and did more damage to the memory of the original.

To me, this is terrible news. A show which was hugely popular in it's original run, and hugely popular in repeats does not necessarily lend itself well to a remake. Indeed, the remake is likely to flop and kill off repeats of the original with it.
This happened to Blockbusters - watered down remakes on BBC2 and Sky One which flopped spectacularly did huge amounts of damage to the original too - and only in the past year or so has challenege looked at seriously re-running the original ITV series which was so succesful.

In fact it was made in both Birmingham and Nottingham, I don't know when they switched, but most of the 1980's episodes were made at Broad Street in Birmingham, and this was often mentioned on the show. Up until the 1984 series, Jim would introduce the contestants by which ITV Region they came from.

With regards to the original version of Bullseye made by Central TV ... IIRC, the first few series were made at Birmingham
until 1984 or 1985, I don't remeber exactly which year. After that, Bullseye was moved over to the studios in Nottingham.
I vaguely recall Jim Bowen himself saying on the first show made at Nottingham about the move, and the fact that they
were doing the show in a bigger studio. Are those 1984-1985 episodes of Bullseye still being repeated on Challenge?

Isn't it funny that Charles Allen and the other ITVplc cronies sold the Nottingham studies - saying that more and more shows were now being filmed on location and that studios were more or less now redundant for most programmes shown on TV.
Ironic that less than 2 years later there are at least 3 gameshows (that were filmed at Nottingham at some point in their history) are actually making a comeback. So much for CA's prediction of studio use!!!

And the fact that they are being filmed in studios and not in a field because there's no spare space shows that there is enough studios available without Nottingham
