Going five nights a week caused many problems for the production team, and celebrity guests were regularly "found" just hours before recording the show.
The show was recorded between 19:00 and 20:00 on the evening of transmission. However, due to studio restrictions, both Thursday's and Friday's shows were recorded on the Thursday evening.
"Betty" was a dinnerlady at Graham's drama school. She came to see the show and Graham recognized her. As a result she became a regular member of the audience although, towards the end, producers tried to include her in the show as little as possible.
