Saturday Night Takeaway 2020

It's amusing how every time they cut back its just Dec there

That's a running gag - at the end of the first link, Dec sent Ant to get changed. He keeps coming back looking inappropriate. Wrong clothes, wrong makeup...

Ooh moment of Dec waiting for cue there...could be live! Nah....

Looking forward to all the usual suspects faking outrage at some of the lines in Men In Brown being slightly more topical than they were at the time of filming.

We’d heard earlier last week that they’d recorded links in the studio, so do you think, now everyone on TV is broadcasting from home, that they’ve decided to scrap those links, and do it ‘as live’ from home instead so it looks much better?

I’m pretty certain these were recorded now, as the subtitles weren’t the usual live ones that take ten seconds to catch up.

Nice to see 7 years after the change, the old ITV font can still appear in the credits of new shows.

They seem to have used the ITV font from 2006 in the credits.

Also, is that the first time that the end credits music has played without an audience?

And closing credits in FS Matthew and not ITV Reem. But the copyright text was in ITV Reem. How did they manage to mess that up?

I'd be amazed if it was live, it would be a very risky thing to do for such a high profile programme. I suppose it might be more obvious when/if they do the quiz at the end*

The bigger question for me is how they are doing it from their houses, I'd assume there's at least one member of crew there to help set it up and help with the direction

*EDIT I'm watching it in delay and didn't realise it was only an hour long

Considering the circumstances and that we can easily imagine these credits were made in someone’s home office, it really isn’t a big deal that they used a slightly different font.

It’s almost like you’ve just discovered there is a similar font to ITV Reem, and you’re just pointing this out because you can.

Because a programme produced with a much reduced crew in a matter of days isn't necessarily checking the credits font.
