Good for you Gromit, I've been to one of those recordings and its good fun. you'll enjoy it and you'll have plenty of spare seats around you for social distancing if youre mates are staying home!
//I have decided to go on my own. Girlfriend and friends not going, but meeting them in the pub afterwards.//
What makes them think that they'll be safer in the pub?
Have a super evening, Gromit. I would love to go with you, but Huddersfield is a bit far and I have not yet served Sunday lunch. (But it would get me out of the washing up ...)
//Ah Grom, so you get the opportunity to pass the virus on to them anyway. Good show.//
It's far more likely to occur the other way around. People in pubs share glasses (which are not properly washed in a pub) and frequent visits to the toilet. "Social distancing" is not usually practical (unless you go to Wetherspoons and order your drinks by App). If I was going to abandon either (which I wouldn't) it would be the pub.
