The show was filmed at [[Baddesley Clinton]] and subsequently aired on 23 October 2016. A smaller but otherwise identical replica was also made by the company [[Thomas Fattorini Ltd|Thomas Fattorini]] for the North Wales Coast FA Cup trophy which is contested annually by members of that regional Association.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Williams|first1=H.R.|title=North Wales Coast Football League history|url=https://www.welshsoccerarchive.co.uk/history.php?league_id=22|website=Welsh Soccer Archive|access-date=4 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180105011623/https://www.welshsoccerarchive.co.uk/history.php?league_id=22|archive-date=5 January 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref> ====1992 replica==== The 1992 replica was made by [[Toye, Kenning and Spencer]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.toye.com/products/sports/trophies-awards/ |title=Toye trophies page |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100522093435/http://www.toye.com/products/sports/trophies-awards/ |archive-date=22 May 2010 }}</ref> A copy of this trophy was also produced, in case anything happened to the primary trophy.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://footballpink.net/2016/03/01/the-history-of-the-fa-cup-trophy/|title=The history of the FA Cup trophy|last=Godfrey|first=Mark|access-date=29 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160403083902/http://footballpink.net/2016/03/01/the-history-of-the-fa-cup-trophy/|archive-date=3 April 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> ====2014 replica==== The 2014 replica was made by [[Thomas Lyte]], handcrafted in sterling 925 silver over 250 hours.
