Just a quick question. As the contestants didn't seem to change clothes all week, noticing Karina, as I did, seeming to have the red and blue outfit on every day, did they do a marathon recording session of 5 shows in one day??

The filming dates table (which is also the answer to world peace) is confirmed for all the shows due to be screened until at least early January 2009. It reveals that the 6 Halloween shows were filmed across 2 days (albeit with a weekend in-between) - Fri 16 May and Mon 19 May.

Thanks H. I wondered if Noel kept his nail varnish on over the weekend!??

It's quite handy that the shows filled the space of 2 days exactly, so they had the evenings either side to prepare and clear stuff up. I believe there have been occasions when special shows have started in the middle of a filming day, meaning they have to prepare the boxes, studio, costumes etc. in-between filming the shows.

Correct H, it seems a lifetime ago when we saw these shows recorded.

Karina's show went on almost an hour longer than it should. You heard her say to Noel that she had been on 22 shows and that she didn't need to be told what to do. Later she told him to "shut up", we were shocked and Noel may have looked like the devil himself but he had the patience of a saint with her. My friend fell asleep at least three times as she took ages to choose each box.

Noel said to her at one point " I hate to rush you but Channel 4 news comes on at 7pm" but that just made her take even more time choosing.

If the powers that be at Endemol read this please give the person who edited Chris and Karina's games a bonus. When Karina's show went out it looked exciting and didn't relay the boredom and the vibes between her and Noel.

We only just caught our train home thanks to the kindness of the Mum of the lady who designed the costumes. She let us share her taxi and just made it to the station.

Of course when we left they had to have a meal and then do Pam's game. Only then could the set designers get ready for Tuesday's shows.

We met some people in the queue who were so excited about being there and they had brought fancy dress and joined in the fun of it. We spoke to them on the way out and they said they would never go again as it was so boring. We tried to say it was a one off and not to judge on one visit. I hope they do go again.
