Hammond in DC either today or yesterday: https://twitter.com/drphilhammond/status/1321779122834649088?s=21 The Doctor 23:35, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Um. That’s an 8? JohnnyCanuck 00:57, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Yes, I thought so too. But on the other hand, it's not being denied that he was there by Susie or Rachel, and it's very possible Damian's gone back to 8 letters. The Doctor 03:41, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Damian has said they've gone back to 8 letters. Writing today's game now. The Doctor 19:18, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

Just a note- think Phil Hammond's games are in the wrong place. They'd have started filming immediately after the finals, which (if it was to follow a typical schedule), would mean that 7 shows have been filmed so far, instead of 10. Spikeg1

I wasn't going to change it though in case anyone had heard otherwise. Spikeg1

So you think that it's 2 more for Levi Roots, and then either Hammond, or 5 then Hammond. His tweet said "today", and I thought it was finals day + 2 days? Also, Spike, you can just type ~~~~ to sign your messages - it's Shift+#. The Doctor 14:43, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

It was my understanding that the three special episodes were filmed right after the finals, so ten episodes across three days, though I could be wrong.--Launchballer 14:50, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

You're definitely wrong - the specials are being filmed (out of sequence) this Monday. The Doctor 14:56, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

I'd just find it a bit odd if Levi was to only do 3 for the finals, and not finish the day off. I'd have thought that Levi would have done 2 for S83, and then Phil would do 5 the next day. The current table suggests that 10 episodes have been filmed already, which I personally doubt would have been the case. Spikeg1 18:47, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

They definitely only filmed four episodes the day they filmed the semi-finals. It's quite possible they're isolating the contestants who travel; I believe at one point they were only admitting contestants within a 50-mile radius.--Launchballer 20:13, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

Spike, in the case of Hammond, it's tweeted on 29 Oct, which is finals day +2, and my understanding is recordings for S83 began the day after finals day. So 5 on day 1, Hammond on day 2. The Doctor 21:36, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

Jenny Eclair recording at the end of the month- https://twitter.com/jennyeclair/status/1325791833096646656 Spikeg1 13:50, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

Right... we're going to have to work out which episodes those are, then! The Doctor 14:01, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

Just as a note- didn't filming for the finals finish on a Tuesday? Spikeg1 20:21, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

They were recorded on 26 and 27 Oct, weren't they? The Hammond tweet is from 29 Oct. The Doctor 21:55, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

Only say that because Hammond didn't specify that he'd been filming on the 29th. Plus, am fairly certain that Leith wasn't after Dr Phil, because I'm assuming that Rory Bremner did 2 shows after Phil in the next filming block (9th Nov), given that he recorded the specials.Spikeg1 15:12, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

Pru Leith filming in DC tomorrow- https://twitter.com/garywillerton/status/1330845651161264128 Spikeg1 13:27, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Wrong tweet, I think, Spike. The Doctor 14:00, 23 November 2020 (UTC) - changed it, thanks Spike. The Doctor 14:12, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
