Programme and party combined

It's always difficult getting end-of-show-party dosh at the BBC, but the producers of This Week pulled quite a stroke for a 'political' programme. The final episode was an hour and 10 minutes long (presumably pulling in twice the normal budget), and featured expensive (in copyright terms) filmed sequences, pastiching Grease; a wedding band; and a live and watered audience. All from Central Hall, Westminster (basic hire starts at £8k).
