Broadcasting
Despite being a staple of ITV's light entertainment programming for nearly 30 years, comparatively few episodes of It'll be Alright on the Night have been produced, with rarely more than one new episode a year being screened. Episodes presented by Denis Norden have normally included a number in their title screens to aid identification with the audience, however, since 2008, episodes presented by Griff Rhys Jones have not done so.
During its run, several special episodes were also made, including anniversary specials, "late night" versions with less family-friendly content and a one-off 2001 election edition.
The majority of the episodes were filmed at The London Studios, but in the show's later years, Granada's studios in Manchester were also used, as well as the now-closed Meridian studios at Northam, Southampton. A few episodes were filmed on-location; most notably, Alright on the Night's Cock-up Trip which was presented from the Great Cockup fell in the Lake District, and It'll be Alright on the Night 11 which was presented from an empty Haymarket Theatre, London.
During its run, the series has had three main producers: Paul Smith (1977–1984), Paul Lewis (1984–2002) and Simon Withington (2003–2006). Sean Miller, James Sunderland and Stephanie Dennis also produced some episodes. Grant Philpott has been Series Producer since 2011.
