There will be a break inbetween recording show 1 & 2 so if you came down at 5:30 then you could be there for the Christmas show. We have to change the set inbetween shows to apply the TV magic and make it look like Christmas!!!

Just to answer a previous question: the band are prerecorded.

Dominic

God, you have to love that band, whoever had the idea for that is a genius. I'll be sad to see Turn on Terry go, it's become cult viewing even though it's being shunted around the night time schedule. So why no more then Dominic ?

Oh and as it's the last show perhaps you could persuade Terry to send his loyal fans on the TV Forum a special Christmas mention.

It's a shame - I've enjoyed watching it despite it being far, far past my bedtime. It really is weird it isn't being recommissioned - the thing must be dirt cheap to make, and I bet if they had it on at 11 or 11.30 they'd get a much bigger audience.

Then again, ITV seems to be rather short-sighted like that. Strange, because Dare To Believe (on straight after) got a second series and yet is very strange and inexplicable, and I can imagine gets no viewers at all.

Dare to Believe is awful. Its supposed to be a comedy, but it isn't funny and is awfully produced, and terribly confussing to watch. It's like an A-Level Media Studies project gone wrong!

I do find some of it funny though, from the bits I've caught after taping Turn on Terry.

This week's ToT is on at 12.55am by the way, slightly better than usual, and then next weeks is at Midnight, back at the time slot at which it started in the summer

Cheers for that, shame it will be the last one, though ITV have treated the show very badly, I would rather it be on a Tuesday night, as I have to be in at 9am on Fridays.

BTW Is anyone on the Forum getting tickets to the show? But it would be cool if gets a mention by Terry himself.

So I take it no one got tickets and went then?

Anyway, Tonight is the final normal one, with the last ever show being a Christmas Special. Tonight it's on at 00:05 with is a great time I think!!! Just like the good old days!!

I didn't get any tickets, but I've been to Manchester many times and I don't even know where Satan's Hole is, though I'd assume that if someone off the forum got tickets it's likely they would brag about it.

I am glad it's on earlier tonight, 12.05am should have been the time which they should have kept it at, plus I can watch it tonight as I don't have to be in until 10am tomorrow, for once!

Though I'll try and look out for the credits, see if the forum gets a mention.

Well last night's show was very very good, we even had a visit from a streaker flashing at Ana Boutler and it was very funny. Last night's show was very relaxed but Terry kept having a go at alot of people mainly Jonathon Ross and Eammon Holmes. Though I have to say it was funny when they were giving away some prizes, these were two books written and signed by Terry and 24 hour Party People was given away by Anthony Wilson in English and Japanese.

Though the end was amusing when they said that they will be back next week, when they're filming next week's just after that one, though they were laughing about it.

Just one more show to go now. Hope you can tune in on Tuesday night. Who knows, the forum might even get a credit... Wink
