It's probably too late to join them for Monty Python's Flying Circus or The Office, but the BBC keeps putting out new TV shows and they always need people to fill the seats in the audience and laugh, cheer, or clap along. You can get free tickets to many of their shows just by signing up on the BBC's Be in the Audience web page.

For the most popular programs, you will need to be quite vigilant, because spots fill up fast. But who knows — maybe you can find your way into the audience for an up-and-coming show before it becomes a household name, and later you'll be able to tell your friends you were there in the early days.

Filming takes place in different places around London (all around the UK, for that matter), so check carefully to make sure you go to the right place.
