@misternewham Yeah I caught that too, very eerie, who do u think it is, the resident studio ghost? lol

It was interesting to watch this. If we can thank the Royal Family for anything then it's the fact we got to see the set up for the recirding of a 1970's sitcom which was nice to watch because you don't gt to experience the original recording when it's all cobbled together for television and is perfectly seamed. I liked seeing the joins.

The Queen at the recording of a sitcom? lol I'd be too scared to make a joke at all for fear of her stony face not laughing. Well done to Pen, Paul, Richard and Felicity for getting through that half hour nightmare

At the end of the video, there's a picture of a girl right at the end of the 4 second countdown on the monitor.

@therealcaldini I think it is the responsiblity of the viewers to refuse to watch the shite and then it wouldn't be made, unfortunately today people seem to be content to watch just about anything, so it is our fault for accepting it.

Isn't the presenter Brian Johnson the cricket commentator ?
