Although all of the Bob Monkhouse Wipeout episodes were recorded without a studio audience and the "crowd" noise dubbed on later, he very much plays to the idea that there's an audience in this edition.
Starting the show with a "nice to see some familiar faces", he then introduces the concept of the quiz, pausing to thank the audience for their "kindness", and starting his sentence again, as if interrupted mid-flow by the continuing applause.

Bob refers to A Clockwork Orange (1971) as being banned by Stanley Kubrick himself in an Auction Grid on the director's films.
The film would be rereleased in the UK just over 17 months after the broadcast of this episode, redistributed in March 2000 following the director's death.
