    How do I get this job?

    1. The cast is filmed with remote-controlled cameras, normally located towards the side of the television.

    6. No lines are scripted and Tom and Wayne have said they don’t re-film reactions.

    7. Adam and Symon don’t actually live together.

    8. The households are filmed over a five-day period.
