We asked the producer of ITVs Youve Been Framed!

It first arrived in 1990 and is now in the enviable position of airing its 29th series.

Its the show, as producer Chris Thornton says, everybody watches but nobody admits to watching.

Weve gone into more detail on thejoys it provides, here.

The 250 fee has remained the same sinceYouve Been Framed!began in 1990.

Have there been discussions about increasing/decreasing the payment over the years?

Yes!

A hundred grand just for a flash of a grandads boxers as he drops his trousers at a wedding.

We still think its the latter in Britain we like all our losers to be winners.

Is there a policy for dealing with clips that have obviously been staged?

For example, pranks require staging yet deliver genuine reactions from the victims.

And Animal Tricks are all staged but still impressive.

Who doesnt love a cat who can play the drums?

One of our favourite staged animal tricks involved a novelty gnome and an enthusiastic dog… Form your own theories, its half the fun.

What has been Youve Been Framed!s most successful clip?

Thats a hard one to judge as everyone has a different sense of humour and likes different things.

No wonder she wasnt watching where she put her feet!

What kind of legal issues have arisen from the clips sent in by the public?

Is there ever cause to involve child/animal protection services?

Thats a bit of a dull answer to that question isnt it?

Is there a blacklist of the sort of clipsYouve Been Framed!would never use?

Particular events or behaviour that would not be deemed appropriate for broadcast?

Top 100 Shockers, or A-Z of Animals, etc.

DoesYouve Been Framed!know whether injuries are ever caused as a result of the incidents shown on clips?

Is there a process to check that serious injury-causing acts arent broadcast?

Were not monsters the clip wouldnt be funny at all if someone was seriously hurt!

Why are video camera date stamps sometimes blurred out on the show?

You hate that too?

What is the volume of submissions like today in comparison with the shows history?

In 2004 (Harrys first year on the show doesnt time fly?!)

What the secret toYouve Been Framed!s success after all this time?

As the technology changes, the accidents evolve!

What advice would you give somebody who wants to get a clip shown on Youve Been Framed!?

Film it the right way round!

And who wants to squint a skinny video that only takes up a third of their TV screen?

Maybe we should only pay a third of the 250 fee?

Best advice film everything.

The more often people film the more they increase their chances of finally capturing something going wrong.

You got a wardrobe that needs building?

You planning on rehanging your pelmet?

Thats a great clip by the way coming to TV this series!

we want to see it.

New episodes of Youve Been Framed currently air on Saturdays at 6.30pm on ITV1.
