Thanks for the confirmation, I was wondering myself then. There's most of an episode of the Saturday Roadshow on YouTube and there are no examples of viewers taking part from home, all the games involve contestants in the studio. Noel makes it clear in the Radio Times interview launching House Party that it was going to be live and a potential risk, and the fact there was a Radio Times interview was a big thing in itself because I never remember reading much about the Saturday Roadshow in the Radio Times. I read more about it in Fast Forward.
I could take issue with everything in this post, but I see David Attenborough was only on BBC management for about five years before going back to producing. He must have been crap as well.
It was definitely pre-recorded! I remember when watching it occasionally noticing some fairly obvious edit points. Many of the NHP features did indeed originate on it, but it was a major part of the publicity surrounding the start of the House Party that it would be broadcast live, unlike its predecessor.

Also if he was that great why was he only ITV for 3 years before going back to producing?
