Bond has never interested me. I've seen maybe 3 of them. Nothing before Brosnan.

An interesting comment in the comments. A peek behind the curtain.


'I was in the studio audience for this.... it was recorded months before broadcast, so for the topical jokes Bob did some improvised topical stuff in front of us, then recorded some topical stuff on the day in an empty studio and it was cut together with some wide shots of us laughing.

As for the rest of the show, we saw the final round only recorded multiple times with different couples and had to pretend to be excited about couples we had no knowledge of. It was great to be in Studio 7 at Lenton Lane though.'

It's been a while since we had letters, sorry Bob. This week in 1974.
