http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvan ... n-set.htmlI completely understand the need for the set. What was the point of this article?

TV programmes are filmed on sets. I doubt they could fit all the lights, cameras and sound equipment needed for a good show in a normal person's kitchen.

It's a mixture of snobbery and bog-standard right-of-centre BBC cost bashing:  _________________Jim

So people are not mislead in to thinking it was filmed in her home? Full disclosure so to speak. _________________Still the official cheeky one

People think it was filmed in a kitchen. Who cares if it was in her home or in a studio. It makes no difference to the content of the programme.
Would people get upset if I told them Allo Allo wasn't filmed in a real French cafe?

I actually saw them do that show on stage (my girlfriend of the time was a big fan). Gordon Kaye did the whole rhyming thing that starts (IIRC) with 'the candle with the handle on the gateaux for the chateaux' and goes on for about... maybe four minutes.. without as far as I could tell dropping a line or indeed taking a breath. He got a spontaneous round of applause for it.
That show was.. vastly politically incorrect and often quite crude (in many senses) but it had several actually stellar lines and ideas. The whole rhyming thing running joke was genius.
(confession - I actually fancied the woman who played the leader of the resistance much more the the girlfriend I was with at the time. It was something about the coat).
