I wonder when this will be filmed - Pinewood Studios means almost anything is possible. Maybe it's due to be recorded soon and that's the actual reason for the Bank Comedy Robbery break in September, I imagine this has been in the works for a long time. I imagine it's partly the reason but also so the cast can have a break since I imagine it'll be recorded either in one night or over a few days since it's with a live studio audience.

It's being filmed at Pinewood infront of a live studio audience

Yes, Pinewood as been mentioned above, filmed on Fri 9th & Sat 10th Sept with the original cast. You can apply for tickets on the BBC Shows and Tours section of the website! It's a random draw for tickets, you can apply until Mon 22nd Aug - a week today! www.bbc.co.uk/showsandtours/shows/peter_pan_goes_wrong_sept16

I've given it a go and applied. I doubt I'll be lucky, but then you never know with these things, and especially how many would apply for something like this.

Brighton? Couple of hours by car, possibly not well-served enough by public transport to be worth wrestling with trains and stuff. Easier from central London, but they still recommend a taxi for the last leg of the journey.

And you never know how long they will go on for, or how many more tickets than seats have been issued?

Oh there's always a multiple more allocated than available, simply because so many people don't bother in the end. I expect it'll be a straight up performance of the entire thing both nights and they'll edit together afterwards. I doubt it's one half or the other as a lot of the set up jokes won't get a punchline in the second recording if the audience haven't seen the first half. So I'd expect roughly three hours all in of a recording, including some pick ups on the Saturday. Given the usual delay in getting everyone in and the warm up act etc - you're probably looking at a four hour evening from start to finish.

I wonder if it'll be an edited version of the play since I imagine it'll either be 90 minutes on television or shorter

Depressing to see it's a random draw for tickets. I'd happily pay if there was a guarantee of tickets. Has anyone tried applying for tickets for BBC shows before & had any luck? I really am desperate to see this.

I've applied on several occasions for the Friday Night is Music Night tickets through BBC, I've got tickets more often than not. Also the ALW BBC shows, the final Joseph show and the tribute show some years ago. Stuff like Strictly you can't get for love nor money, but you might be ok with this. How many email/postal addresses do you have? I've applied with work address tonight, I'll do for home tomorrow.

I really am desperate to see this. Is it the filmed performance for the BBC you're desperate to see, or the play in general? If it's the latter, then they are doing a run this Christmas at The Apollo from 21st October 2016 - 29th January 2017. I'm sure they'll let you pay for a guaranteed ticket! www.nimaxtheatres.com/apollo-theatre/peter_pan_goes_wrong

I wonder why they are not filming it in the theatre. October/November performances would give ample time for editing for a Christmas slot in the schedules. I would have thought it cheaper to do it that way too.

I assume it's going to be a lot more elaborate than just filming the stage version if they're shooting it at Pinewood plus I assume it's going to feature the original cast who will still in be in CAABR rather than the cast who will in the stage version of PPGW

Ah yes, I see what you mean regarding cast availability. However, part of it's success is the "amateur" nature of the staging. It does not need to be more "elaborate".

The filmed performance, of course. That is why I'm bemoaning the random draw. I have seen it on stage 11 times between the 3 productions & am already booked a couple of times for the forthcoming revival. However this filmed performance will probably be the last time the original cast perform the show & therefore I'm desperate to see it.
I once went to a FNIMN recording but I don't remember having to enter a draw, I think I just booked tickets like for any other concert. I've applied in my name from home computer & in my mother's name from work computer. A pity it says tickets are non-transferable or I'd be begging all my relatives to apply for me too!

So has no-one else on here had any luck with tickets? I was expecting to see lots of people posting. There must have been a heck of a lot of other people applying then. Depressing.

Yeah I was unsuccessful too. This would have attracted a lot of applicants as they emailed out their entire mailing list by the seems.
Most shows do not find an audience through the BBC website, and those sites have less attention generally. Just luck of the draw, as such.

Quite strange - I'm pretty sure I definitely received an email from the BBC telling me my application had been unsuccessful, yet I've just received a text and an email from the BBC with my e-tickets, telling me I've now been successful and been given tickets! Though of course they still over-subscribe, therefore getting a ticket doesn't guarantee you entry, it just turns it into a game of 'who wants to queue outside Pinewood Studio the longest' - and it is quite far to go in the middle of nowhere. Still, got a week and a half to work it all out! Quite exciting!

Yeah - Pinewood, Uxbridge Station and take a cab -?- I've taken a half day off work. I've done my fair share (and then some) of queuing outside studios.

Still, got a week and a half to work it all out! Quite exciting! My daughter and I both had "unsuccessful" emails, but she got another one about an hour ago saying she has got tickets. I suppose some people have given them back; it is an awkward palce to get to if entry is not guaranteed, probably putting a lot of people off.

It did say in the original "you have been unlucky" email that we'd go on a waiting list in case more tickets became available. I guess more tickets became available! (Not for me though.....)

Envious wailings & gnashings of teeth coming from me! I know it's highly unlikely but if anyone end up with a spare ticket I would be EXTREMELY interested. If only Pinewood studios were easier to get to I'd be tempted to turn up holding a "Ticket wanted" sign.

As if I wasn't hacked off enough about the words "Peter Pan Goes Wrong" and "tickets", I've just discovered the next London run now starts 21st October. I have a ticket for 20th October. It would have been nice if Nimax had bothered to tell me!

Standing outside a dark theatre having spent 2 hours & £20 to get there would be a bit too much Going Wrong for me.
