I don't understand whilst he waited so long either - he let Alan get through reading almost all the numbers before stopping it.

Maybe because there was no dispute with the first run of numbers, drawn from the first machine? Or maybe he was waiting for an instruction on talkback from the Camelot management team?

BBC1 are to screen the Euromillions draw from next week - but it won't air until 11.35pm, after Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, despite the draw taking place between 8pm and 9pm.

Probably have to suffer the Voice of the Balls on that too - was he used on UKTV Gold's coverage?

Not sure, although when it was originally broadcast for the first year on Sky One, Liz Bonin (where is she these days - retreated back to RTE land?) voiced the draw.

Where does the Voice of the Balls do his voiceover from these days, is it "Lottery HQ" or wherever the main show the draw is part of is from?

I'd imagine it's "Lottery HQ" as some shows, such as 1vs100, are now filmed in bulk in advance of broadcast.

Wouldn't it be amusing if we discovered that the draws were also filmed "in bulk in advance" also
