Has anyone been an audience member at a BBC show?

Just that really.

I have applied for tickets for a show and I realise it's a random draw, but just wondered how soon BBC contact you if it's successful.

Yes - it was Question Time though, we were contacted within a day or so.

I've been at a few different TV and radio recordings. Ticket confirmation is usually only 2-3 weeks before the recording.

My daughter and I were in the audience for gladiators. We found out 3 days before we had tickets.

We have applied to strictly but get emailed the Tuesday before we have been unsuccessful.

Yes, Michael Mcintyre and a game show. I applied through applause store and you find out quite quickly. Just keep applying, you'll get in!

Honestly it’s usually quite last minute. Also, they always overbook to ensure a full audience even with no shows, so go early or you may not get in even with tickets.

Attended the Dog Ate My Homework filming with the kids but I don't think that's the vibe you're looking for...

Yes it was a kids tv show presenter was then thought highly of because he fixed things. Enjoyed it at the time but now wonder about the girls that were on the show

Was at Have I got news for you years ago. A guy I knew constantly applied for tickets and one time he couldn’t use them. Lucky me!

Yes. We got strictly tickets. Got told about five days before I think. You still have to turn up on the day at stupid o clock and only the first however many in the queue get in as they over allocate to avoid gaps. You then have to come back again about four with a ticket they gave you that morning to get in.

it was worth it though (and I’m lucky as I only live about twenty mins from where they film so it wasn’t a big risk (the people in the queue behind us came from Newcastle).

Eh?! What show was this?

I think the poster means Jimmy Savile...

Oh haha I get it now. Not sure why it's censored,, he's long dead and it was proven he was an awful beast.

I went to a recording of the radio 4 panel show The Kitchen Cabinet.

I've just checked my emails and I was told I'd got a ticket after about 3 weeks.

It was another 7 weeks before the recording, when I got there nearly an hour before recording the theatre was just about full, but I don't know if anyone was turned away or everyone just followed the advice to be early to be sure to get in.

Friend went to a recording for QI. It was their Christmas special. Was early June and everyone carried a Xmas jumper with them to the studio as it was too hot to wear it.

QI, Celebrity Mastermind, Strictly, some Dick & Dom kids show, The One Show .. also a few ITV ones

My partner was part of the studio audience for an episode of George & Mildred when she was a teenager.

Went to see The Army Game many years ago. Saw Michael Medwin and co coming out after an rehearsal.Also saw Des O’Connor in some kind of comedy show in 1960. He was young of course and I thought at the time he was very ham.

A recording of I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue in Harrogate, back in 2007!

The one show has an audience???

Only in the studio...

Like a pp, I applied for question time. That's slightly different to other shows because you have to put things like how you voted in the last election on the application form. You also get a phone call from a member of the production team before they decide whether to give you a ticket.

I used to go in the late 90s when I was skint student. A few failed sitcoms, nothing of note.

Saw Alexei Sayle in a live show recording- brilliant!

A few mostly radio, depends on the show but typically a couple of weeks out

I was in the audience of The Really Wild Show in 1989. Not sure that’s the kind of experience you’re looking for though…
