“Catchphrase” will become British broadcaster ITV’s first entertainment show to resume filming, post coronavirus lockdown. Stv Productions will record 10 episodes of the Stephen Mulhern hosted gameshow from July 6, ITV announced Monday.
The episodes will be broadcast on ITV and Stv during the fall.
The show will follow safety protocols that include online health declaration forms; physical changes to the set, galleries and make-up rooms; the creation of working “bubble” groups; staggered start times: and changes to the catering service. The crew will maintain safe social distancing and will have their temperatures checked daily throughout the filming period. Cleaning and sanitization of studios and filming areas will also happen daily, and equipment will be assigned to individual crew members. A live audience will not be present.

British broadcaster ITV has announced that long-running game show Catchphrase will become its first entertainment brand to begin filming again following the coronavirus lockdown.
The Stv Productions format will head back to the studio on July 6 to record 10 episodes, with a number of social distancing and safety protocols in place to protect the production team.
Stv Productions has redesigned the set, crew will work in bubbles with staggered start times, people will have to sign health declaration forms, the studio will be cleaned on a daily basis, and there will be no audience.
Host Stephen Mulhern said: “It feels so good to be back in the studio and it’s taken a huge amount of work from the crew and all at Stv Productions who make the show and ITV who broadcast it to get us back up and running safely. We can’t wait to start.”

On the 23rd of March 2020 two historic addresses were made to the nation. One, by the UK Prime Minister, outlined the rules of lockdown in response to the coronavirus threat. The other, by Alex Horne, outlined the rules of Task 1 in #Hometasking, a first-class wheeze from the Taskmaster team designed to keep people cheerfully occupied and doing silly things for fun exactly when we needed it most.
The government told us not to travel, shop or socialise. Alex Horne told us to throw a piece of A4 paper into a bin… spectacularly. Most spectacular throw wins. People around the world leapt at the chance. Literally. They back-flipped. They headered. They engineered. They used pets, Skidoos and a baby on a Roomba.
That was just the beginning. Over the lockdown weeks, a further 19 hometasks followed, with entries compiled into results videos judged by the Taskmaster himself Greg Davies. The 20th and...
