I finally fulfilled my dream of being in a studio audience the other day which was AMAZING. Not really but I always wanted to do it an I did have a ton of fun.
I guess other people could review this site as a studio for tv and movie crews to use, or people who work there can review its -crew and employee- only bars. The average Jane like me just gets tickets to tv shows. I specifically went to see Who wants to be a millionaire. (yes they are still filming this show :) They also are currently filming Smarter than a 10 year old. I am sure there are many more shows there, these are just the ones I know.
You can take the train to the studios which are just North of London. The nearest station is Elstree and Borehamwood station. From the station, walk out to the main road and turn right. It is about a 10 minute walk to the studio and along the way are a ton of places to eat and grab drinks for standing in line. There is also a bus that goes from the station towards the studio, although I do not know the number. The studio is on the right past a Tesco at a large roundabout.
You are made to queue outside which is fine but it was really hot and there is no shade and or places to sit. If it is raining, bring an umbrella because there is no way to be sheltered.
The studio I was in had no air conditioning and you are not allowed to go to the bathroom once in the studio, however there is one on the lot after you get in. The set I was in had great seating and intimate views, although you sit for at least 2-3 hours, so schedule a butt massage after you leave.
I sat in the front row behind the contestants, and in front of the contestant family, and had a camera in my face for the ask the audience portions of the show of which there were 3. My episode was filmed July 29th and is supposed to air the week before remembrance day. Watch for my television debut. I am the hot chick in the purple top. read more
