What is the Saturday Night Takeaway documentary?
We're 19 successful series in to Takeaway, and now keen fans will get to see how the magic is made in a new behind-the-scenes documentary, due to air this spring on ITV1.
Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway: Behind the Screens will see a documentary team embedded in the production during the current series to show what happens in the months, weeks and minutes leading up to going live, and how the team cope with challenges during each show.
Ant said: "We are really excited to lift the curtain a little on Saturday Night Takeaway. We'll have footage of all the ups and downs, the last-minute dramas that come with making a weekly live entertainment show. Believe me there are lots of dramas that happen behind the scenes."
Dec added: "We love watching fly on the wall shows like Drive To Survive which goes behind the scenes of F1 so thought it could be really fun to allow the cameras to see how we make Saturday Night Takeaway. I’d love to see Behind the Screens on more entertainment shows."
Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway returns on Saturday at 7pm on ITV1.
