Quick question:

Where do you think Sir Alan's boardroom is actually located?

[Patsy]

Do you know already, or are you merely curious?

[Haydon_acc2]

Never answer a question with a question!

In Sugar Towers, London?

[Andrea]

Probably in a BBC studio somewhere!

[Groucho]

Well, obviously from the way the camera swings around the shiny towers at Canary Wharf for about 5 minutes and then cuts straight into the boardroom........it's in an old brown building opposite Brentwood Station, about 25 miles from London!

[Patsy]

It's called Brentwood House, isn't it? Kings Road, Brentwood, I believe. Probably number 169, but I could be wrong.

[Fee For All]

Do they use the actual boardroom then? I'd assumed it would be some BBC studio.

[Groucho]

I imagine AMS's time is at a premium, so he probably gets the BBC to come in and tatrt up his boardroom for him so that he doesn't have to travel too far.

Incidentally, all the lovely trees and plants outside Brentwood House that you see as they leave have all disappeared now!

Last year's final, with the last 2 contestants in the boardroom, didn't the walls swing open to reveal a television audience?

[Mars]

I don't think that happened in the British version SF, but it definately did in the American one with Donald Trump.

It was shown on BBC3 towards the end of last year
