I say that, but I notice no Central globes at the start of the shows, which is unusual as Bullseye and Max Bygraves' Family Fortunes often have these kept in.

Does seem to vary though. Some of the Bob Monkhouse FFs they showed either didn't have a Central globe, or it was silent (the applause starting over the globe, so clearly silent on the master tape, not muted by Challenge), I do wonder if sometimes they were played in live.
