Trivia

The show was broadcast in the same time-slot on Sunday, 6.40 pm between 1985 and 2005. From 2005 the show starts at 6.50 pm. Most episodes take place on the Thursday before airing, but are shot three months earlier. The producers sometimes use short-term shootings to include important events.
