Anyone know where / who to ask? A friends son wants to go - he's 12 but a serious car nut. All help appreciated.

Not sure they allow kids. At least I've never seen any there.

They do BUT they are told to stand away from the camera hence there are never any on TV

We got ours through the BBC Just ring up and ask.

Sorry, didn't mean on the TV, but on the two occasions I was part of the audience myself. There were no children present at all. Don't know what the rules are though, so I guess it does no harm to ask.

In fact according to the applause store website there *is* an age restriction of 18+. Also it says for the new series you can *only* book for equal numbers of men and women. Quote:

THE PRODUCER OF THE SERIES REQUIRES EQUAL AMOUNTS OF WOMEN & MEN IN THE AUDIENCE, SO IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON BOOKING TICKETS, YOU MUST HAVE A 50/50 SPLIT OF GUYS & GALS IN YOUR PARTY FOR US TO ACCEPT YOUR REQUEST.

WE HAVE TO BE VERY STRICT WITH THIS - ANY EXCUSE ON THE ACTUAL DAY OF RECORDING WILL RESULT IN NOT GAINING ENTRANCE INTO THE STUDIO ITSELF.
