I'm sure this isn't just a coincidence, and is intentional, but Channel 5 are showing a documentary about Ant & Dec immediately before the first episode of Saturday Night Takeaway next weekend, which appears to be a repackaged version of the Ant & Dec Story from a few years ago.

ENTERTAINMENT: Ant & Dec: Kings of Saturday Night
On: Channel 5
Date: Saturday 22nd February 2020 (starting in 7 days)
Time: 17:30 to 19:00 (1 hour and 30 minutes long)

Documentary celebrating much-loved duo Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, who in a career already spanning more than 25 years, have conquered almost every part of the TV schedules, from anarchic children's programmes to some of the biggest shows, including the Queen's 90th birthday celebrations. Contributors include friends, fans and some of the celebrities who have fallen foul of the duo's trademark tricks, or actually found fame through their formats.
(Subtitles)

Starring: John Quinn

I’ve just put this on, despite the announcer saying it was ‘new’ and except for a bit talking about this year’s NTA’s at the start, it’s obviously a remake of something from absolutely ages ago

All the ‘recent’ clips are ancient, the talking heads are all people from I’m a Celeb or BGT from about 10 years ago which was obviously recent when it was first made.

It’s also got the most ridiculously cheap title card you’ve ever seen.

All in all, standard for a Channel 5 show.

I hope there is a new title sequence, not just a rehash of the titles introduced in 2013.

I wouldn't be Suprised if they just cut the ending shot from the 2013 titles and stick in a shot of them running into TVC.

This video features the 'new' studio and the new audience area:

My only wish for the new titles is that they bring back the original theme. Although I can't see it happening

Is it just me or does the audience seating look smaller than what they had in TLS Studio 1? Looking at the Instagram video, when Stephen showed us his view of the studio, the audience platform looks reduced - maybe this is due to TLS Studio 1 had that unique built in platform which allowed over 600 seated, whereas TC1 has to use portable seating.

It looks a bit cramped too tbh. Perhaps it'll look different once we see it at 7.

It is strange as they are using a larger studio, TC1 is around 2,000 Sq Ft larger than TLS Studio 1 was, so it is strange that they have chosen a smaller audience platform and look for their set. Yes, when it airs it may look larger on camera, with the wide angle lenses, but the large audience is the key part of the show, when Ant and Dec walk down the stairs, it looks like they will not have far to walk with this platform.

The audience space looks like it's half the size it should be, to the point I wonder if it'll effect the atmosphere when they all start cheering and highlight how less intense it is.

Is this the first big Saturday night show (and certainly live show) since TC1 reopened - most shows filmed there have been chat shows which would usually have a smaller audience.

Also where are The Greatest Dancer live shows from - guessing LH2 or the George Lucas stage?

They recorded the opening segment of the Strictly Launch with Kylie outside TVC but went back to the George Lucas stage for the rest of the show.

The titles are very poor.
