Over The Rainbow - The New Search For Dorothy

Began last night, any thoughts on the show tonight

Well do you have any thoughts?

the BBC signed up Dorothy years ago from Channel 4!

Lovely big studio used for the show, it came as quite a surprise. Its certainly the biggest used since Joseph & Nancy.

Also, I notice its only on for 10 episodes...that seems quite short? Was Nancy/Joseph on longer?

Where was this pre-recorded? I don't think its TC1.

It's at Fountain, so the run is slightly shorter as they need to be out in time to hand it over to Britain's Got Talent at the end of May.

I guess BBC Resources couldn't fit it in at TC1 because of the up and coming Election in 5 weeks!

He isn't Dorothy, but he does know her very well!

If it's in use for 'Talent' straight afterwards Talkback Thames probably just booked it straight through

according to the official twiiter it is - someone asked that and the reply was

Yep, tonight's show was a pre-rec (done on Tuesday) and they've got a full dress rehearsal on 1st and then it's live from the 3rd April up until 22nd May. The studio is handed directly over the BGT after the 22nd.

Forgive me if it's an obvious answer, but the studio being used at Fountains is the same studio (two combined into one) that X Factor uses?
