    Did anyone in the audience taped this screening?
  2. I don't know. They were quite strict on having phones switched off and I was in the front row so couldn't have even if I wanted to (which I wouldn't).

  4. Yeah the set was really cool. The game selector was in the centre with arches either side for the game hosts to appear in. Gregory's podium (as seen in the photo) is to the left and the scoreboard is on the right.

    The format sounds familiar - http://buzzerblog.com/2010/04/late-night-puppet-game-show-now-casting/
    Did this ever air?
    Ive just applied for a couple of tickets to take a look :)

    "The Jim Henson Company and BBC Entertainment have joined forces to bring you a Saturday night show like no other. It's called That Puppet Game Show. And this is your chance to be part of the experience.

    We would love you to be part of our audience at an exclusive screening of this brand new show. You'll get to see two episodes on screen in the BBC Radio Theatre while we are recording your laughter for the show!

    Each week two top name celebrities will be plunged into That Puppet Game Show - a unique world of puppet comedy and madcap games. As the only humans who appear on the show, the celeb contestants will be going head to head in a number of games, hoping to win £10,000 for their chosen charity. They'll compete in subjects such as sport, science, celebrity, nature, music and mental agility. Each of the games is run and hosted by a different puppet character, who is an "expert" in their field. But that's only half the story...

    In a unique twist, That Puppet Game Show is the first gameshow to include a backstage sitcom. It features all the puppet characters that we've met onstage and more, like the producer Mancie and the bullish Show Executive, Udders McGhee. Combining the comedy traditions of The Jim Henson Company and a top celebrity based gameshow ensures that this will be an amazing event, not to be missed!"

    Wow! Is the presenter going to be a puppet or a live human?

    Wow! I cannot wait for this game show to air. :)
    I wonder if it will air in the United States as well.
