Though the actual worst thing is when a programme is shot without a studio audience, but then shown to an audience later to get a laugh-track (like Red Dwarf series VII), because then you have the actors pausing and not pausing in all the wrong places and the audience laughter drowning out lines that you need to hear. idk why anyone would ever think it was a good idea.

I can understand why they do it that way (because having audience laughter does seem to make shows more popular, and I assume it's way cheaper to just show the tapes to an audience instead of filming it in front of one). But it sucks so much. It takes away one of the primary benefits of filming in front of an audience and having a laugh track for me, which is the sense of an interaction you sometimes get, where everything feels fresher and more spontaneous somehow. Like in Newsradio, basically.

But if it's just to save money then they could forgo the audience altogether and just add canned laughter in the right places, like How I Met Your Mother did for most of its run. Cheaper, and avoids the 'laughter in the wrong place'-problem. Recording it audienceless but showing it to an audience after seems to have none of the benefits of either.

I agree though that shows can be incredible when the actors really cultivate a dynamic with the audience, e.g., a lot of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore sketches where the audience feels almost like a third character in the scene.
