True. Looking at clips it seemed commonplace on ITV regions into the 80s. Bar kids tv, the only other examples I can think of is The Core (it was still aimed at teenagers though) from Channel 5, ITV2 in their first year or so, the period on Channel 4 where they had a camera in the continuity booth, T4 - which felt like a bigger production than just a locked off camera and similarly the forgotten Destination Three that I’ve got lurking around my mind - I have hazy memories of it airing during the late evening hours on BBC Three, aired around programmes and had guests and games, I think Rufus Hound was one of the presenters and it was on around 2005.
