Codes and Conventions -
- The title sequence is often a montage on current affairs
- The soundtrack is often upbeat and fast
- There are often two panels either side of the host - they are usually split into two teams
- There is usually a live studio audience
- The set is often backlit (at least to start) and the name of the program is usually behind the panelists
- At the start, the camera usually pans from the audience to the host
-There are often lots of cameras filming the show from many angles.
The shows are very often 30 minutes long and share formats - they usually have specific rounds/sections for the opposing teams of celebrity panelists to win points. They are broadcast by most of the major TV channels including the BBC, ITV and Channel 4. They are mostly broadcast late at night, after the watershed so it can appeal to an older audience and make use of transgressive pleasures through the comedians; they can swear and say more offensive, vulgar jokes.
Panel shows are likely quite commercially viable as they simply have to pay for a set and the panelists- therefore, they are likely to make a profit.
The audience being catered for are mainly young to middle-aged adults, as they are aware of current affairs which are addressed in the shows and will understand the satirical humour often expressed by the comedians.
