Ben came up trumps with this one! We got tickets to see “Would I lie to You” a panel show with Rob Brydon as host and David Mitchell and Lee Mack as team captains
Set off for Pinewood Studios (where they also film James Bond!) straight after work and after a quick detour for KFC we got to the studios just after 18:00. Doors opened at 18:00 but our numbered wristbands suggested lots of people got there early.
After some very hairy moments where we didn’t think we’d get in we finally took our seats.
The warm up guy was very funny and did lots of musical dancing! Then it was time for the show.
The other people on the teams that night were Sanjeev Bhaskar, Richard E Grant, Fern Britton and Martin Clunes. The 30 minute show took 2 ½ hours to film. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so much in my life. My cheeks and my stomach hurt for days afterwards. Obviously an awful lot won’t be broadcast, especially since a huge chunk of the show was horrendously libelous against a certain rotund restaurant critic.
Unfortunately we weren’t in the part of the audience that might be on the TV but Ben reckons my laugh certainly will!
We weren’t allowed to take pictures but spy minded Ben managed this one.
