Was the 100th the last ep 5th series, and if thats correct its not true, since it should have been 103th..

One hundred and threeth?

Your right it's 103rd

I don't think it was the last episode of the series.

Yes, it was the 103rd, I remember it being admitted at the time.

Guess what - it wasn't a real village either.

But why would they do that, what stopped them doing the 100th episode on the 100th episode

Because it was set up as the climax to the whole series, which happened to be 103.

This was the first NTV where there got someone outside their house: which of course SNT used alot. That is some feet to take over a whole Cinema...



Grab a grand was moved to an earlier running order... wi there a great sketch with Spike Milligan.

During the Colin Leonard movie montage in the cinema, I'm sure the clip where the little girl throws the snowball at his crotch was shown on You've Been Framed in its heyday.

The hidden camera at 10:30into the second video doesn’t half manage to move a fair bit to tighten up the shot. Were they really that flexible?

The gunging in that episode is a bit of a fail really - picking someone random out of the audience and asking people to vote. Erm,well done. Like they couldn’t think of anything better to do with it.

What if someone was to get a gunging ie a celeb or bad member of the audience but they never turned up? where did the Big poke pie disappear to? This is why you can tell S4 started to have minor issues, but it was still great fun and on par with S3...

The real trouble as we will see is in Series 5, where the format starts to be mucked around with but still managed to keep most people happy, but peak had already been reached and was on it way done. Series 6 is bad and Series 7 was dreadful... There should have pulled the plug and give it rest...

The thing I always wondered is when they did gunge someone from the audience, what did they do with them after the show? Obviously they can just get them into a dressing room to clean up, but did they have to sit around until their clothes were laundered or did they have spares, or were they sent home in a cab in a dressing gown.

If they were truly random it must have been a bit of a bugger if they'd planned a night out after.

They did pay for damaged clothes but imagine them paying for water damaged smart phones and watches these days
