Years ago I worked at Granada media and sat next to the production desk for the GMTV website team. Not only were we subjected to it live, but then had to see it again and again throughout the afternoon as the team sorted out the site

slightly off topic, but I went to a night club in Camden a few years ago, but it was during the day, like 15:00 ish
The staff were stocking up the shelves and getting ready for the mad house.
They had some sort of projector and Had 'Monty Python and the holy grail' on one of the dance floor walls.
It was probbly the best couple of hours I ever spent in a pub in London
