Coronavirus effect on the production of tv shows

[XIII]

Coren Mitchell said once they filmed a series of Only Connect and followed it up [url="http://www.victoriacoren.com/main/blog/archive/only_connect_series_11"]on her blog[/url] about being eight months pregnant on air for the best part of seven months.

So I think that implies they can knock a series out relatively quickly. Indeed, [url="https://quizquizquiz.com/2021/04/reflections-on-only-connect-series-16/"]https://quizquizquiz.com/2021/04/reflections-on-only-connect-series-16/[/url] suggests filming was scheduled for March 2020 but for obvious reasons that was dropped and pushed back to August 2020.

I can only presume they came back to a normal filming schedule (ish) but the show still aired over the autumn, winter and spring. It never did that on BBC Four, that's only started when it moved to BBC Two, though of course they've ordered more episodes and fiddled around with the format tournament a few times.

University Challenge managed to get 13-14 episodes in the can before they had to shut down filming due to the first lockdown,

Tipping Point will still have the socially distanced look for one more series since the episodes filmed in 2021 haven't aired yet but I would assume the upcoming series will be back to how it used to look
