I’ll always remember my very first TV audience experience, which happened to be The Million Pound Drop Live
Doors closed around 6pm and then every audience member subject to full airport style security checks including handing in all items until after the show and a body pat down (although shoes could remain on
)
They were quite clear that the million quid cash was real and not just prop money!
Most other TV audiences fairly laid back and allowed personal items and phones in the studio but constant reminders from warm up to keep them turned off during the recording (but they’re generally happy of you to take a few pictures of the set or whatever before they get going), although MediaCity seem to have a standard security scan using their staff for every production these days
