As the show so heavily relies on audience participation, there had been some concerns that it wouldn't be able to go ahead because of the coronavirus pandemic.

However, according to a report by Deadline, there are plans to film the series with a live audience in September.

It will apparently be filmed for eight nights starting on September 14 at Bovington Studios, which are located north of London.
