Kilroy is not quite of the nature of Jerry or Maury. Instead of having special guests in frnt of the audience, the participants are seated in a semi-circular kind-of amphitheatre. There are guests on the front row who are miked up and these are specially selected to talk a bit more than the people sitting behind them.

Kilroy sort-of walks in amongst the audience with his hand-held microphone, collecting opinions of other people. Usually the elderley contingent are put on the highest seats at the back! The set was smaller than I thought is looked on television!

It's not quite the same idea as Jerry or Maury, but you still get a few arguments!
You posted this twice, not three times like you thought, Kat.

For those of you fortunate enough never to have seen Kilroy before, this is how the studio is set out: A semi-circular seating arangement with three rows of VERY comfy sofas! I was up on the top right, so was not on-screen that much!
The studio itself is TINY! It looks absolutely huge and open on screen, but it's nothing like that in reality!

When was this filmed? has it been aired on BBC1 yet or did you get a video copy. Nice to see Kilroy is still 4:3. It was marked as being 16:9 on BBC Whats on.

It was recorded last night at 6pm - and broadcast this morning at 9am.

The monitors in the studio all appeared to be showing 14:9 bands .. but that could have been my eyes!!

Its obviuos from the shots that its 4:3. Id like to be in the audience for a TV programme but it looks like you have to be 18. its a shame cos Family fortunes is filmes about 15 miles up the road from me....

Mark, didn't you mind the fact that the show had one of its cameras pointed at your crotch? Mind you it was in the background, but still! Razz:

That camera was pointed there for about 5 minutes! I can't think what the cameraman was looking for!! Wink

Watching today's episode again I've noticed a few chunks which have been edited out: one because of the use of a naughty word - but others for no logical reason!!

Time constraints?

I can't think that it was that: there was a countdown clock running from 56:32 to 00:00 on the monitors throughout the recording - I'm sure that was timed to be in keeping with the BBC ONE schedule!

When I was on Kilroy, I was second row up, on the seating block just to the right of the central walkway down.
