Late Night Lycett puts celebrities in a spin with help from a Movetech UK rental turntable

Movetech UK, part of the British Turntable Group, recently played a crucial role in the success of a bold and entertaining game segment during ‘Channel 4’s Late Night Lycett’ live show, by supplying the TV shows production team with a special 1m diameter rental turntable.

The production company, renowned for their creative and engaging television productions, approached Movetech UK seeking a robust turntable solution for a unique game concept featured on the show. The game required a celebrity to stand on the turntable and be spun around, stopping at a random position determined by other celebrities pressing a large red button, adding a dynamic and comedic twist to the evening’s entertainment.

The production company needed a turntable that could handle the speedy rotations and sudden stops required for the game segment. Movetech UK not only provided the team with a high-quality turntable but crucially ensured it was also safe for the celebrity participants. Movetech UK’s attention to detail and technical expertise were invaluable in making sure the live segment ran smoothly and contributed to the show’s overall success.

Movetech UK was responsive and proactive in ensuring that the turntable was delivered and operated flawlessly for the live broadcast. It played a critical element within the show, that ultimately makes the show an award-winning success.

Movetech UK’s turntable solutions are known for their durability, precision, and versatility across various industries, including television production. For ‘Late Night Lycett,’ the turntable not only met the rigorous demands of live television but also enhanced the interactive and spontaneous nature of the game, keeping both the audience and participants on their toes.

Jack Farrimond, Customer Support Associate at Movetech UK, highlighted the importance of understanding their customers’ needs when supplying rental turntables. “When we receive requests for rental turntables, we always ask about their intended use. This helps us provide tailored solutions that meet our customers’ requirements and ensure optimal performance.

“While we regularly supply turntables to the TV and film industries for both people and props for many different uses, this application was particularly unique, and we absolutely loved it!” Jack highlighted the success of their turntable on the show, pointing out the enthusiastic response from the audience and celebrities. “The show itself speaks volumes, and the production company are clearly amazing at what they do, and seeing the joy and laughter from the audience throughout, including celebrities, shows just how well-received and effective the special segment was, and that’s great to see.”

Jack finished by adding “We, at Movetech UK, would also like to congratulate ‘Joe Lycett, his production team and Channel 4’ for their well-deserved achievement at this year’s prestigious BAFTA Television Awards.
