Rehearsal of the show was carried out daily for three to four hours until the Friday recordings,when two tapes were made.Due to the presence of only two tapes,if an actor made a mistake or misses a line then the fault will be broadcast providing the show some concurrence.The only exceptions were the pickups that are used for musical numbers most of the time.
