Overview
Live ITV entertainment show Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway returned after a four-year hiatus in February 2013. With comedy sketches, guest stars, musical performances, physical challenges and competitions, Takeaway has been a huge ratings hit all over again.

Our Involvement
We provide computer systems for many aspects Saturday Night Takeaway. Most prominent is the system we designed for audience competition Win The Ads. The live 3D graphics environment adds a dynamic aspect to what had in the past been a static game graphic, with the added benefit that major prizes can be zoomed and emphasised for placement purposes. Comprehensive contestant, prize and question management also feature in the custom software which controls all aspects of the game. We work closely with the production team to enable animated sequences of the prospective players to be displayed on screens all over the world, before one is chosen to play the game. We also engineered the Takeaway SuperComputer, which tours the country challenging the public to do crazy things and win great prizes.
