I didn't see the programme myself, but I would imagine that they recorded
the soundtrack first in a studio and then mimed along to it in front of the
audience whilst the music was replayed over the speakers.  Unless the tv
show was broadcast live, the performance is usually done a few times to
allow the cameramen to get the right shots.  Its then up to the
editor/mixer (?) to match the soundtrack to the video, which they don't
always do well.  This approach was adopted when we did the "Party of a
Lifetime" programme recently.
