After the series, these panels were displayed in the Blackpool and Alton Towers exhibitions. The exhibitions repaired studio wear and tear, making a number of changes. The top and bottom panels were repainted with a darker blue-grey colour. Some of the individual panels were swapped around and some removed, probably because some were damaged (by, for instance, explosive squibs). The individual panels were fixed in place with screws in the corners. The originals were simply slotted into the frame and held by cup hooks. As the rubber bands would perish over time, it was more secure to fix them permanently with screws.
