Prior to the live stream on February 19, 2013, the studio output was switched out live 30 minutes before the show allowing the audience to watch Rob and the guests prepare and rehearse the show. This "pre-show" was never included in the complete episode that was uploaded to YouTube. During the final episode of Season One, a few seconds of the "pre-show" were shown in the "Year that Was" segment. Since the launch of series 2, the pre-show became a regular feature. On 30 April 2013 the show was presented from the QTQ-9 studios in Brisbane in front of a live studio audience. On 21 May 2013 the BBC uploaded a clip from the show on the official Doctor Who YouTube where McKnight interviews himself, reporting from the Doctor Who Pop Up Shop in Newtown.Archived aReferences
