Yes, but almost all of it is salaries for staff.
So it’s all good.
Is SNL UK going to be a weekly? How does this compare to the other weekly shows in the UK?
I can’t imagine Taskmaster / WILTY / 8 out of 10 cats does countdown costing this much.
The UK has such a steady stream of amazing young comedic voices, giving them an additional path to be creative and get noticed can only be a good thing. Honestly surprised this idea wasnt attempted sooner.
My only hope is that they allow this show to find its own structure and don’t force it to be a copy of the original SNL with UK accents.
With 250k watching it live…
8 episodes a year.
If Comcast, who owns sky, buy itv I could see then moving it to there.
I will never understand why people care about the budgets of shows the way that they do.
