Codes and Conventions of TV Panel Shows

Codes and conventions of Celebrity Juice

Celebrity Juice has many different fans who like the show for all sorts of reasons but here are some of the main reasons why:

• Funny and well known presenter- Keith Lemon the presenter of Celebrity Juice is a well known celebrity as he has stared in shows such as: Through the Key Hole, Take Me Out: Celebrity Special, Keith Lemon Sketch Show and many others. Keith Lemon's real name is Leigh Francis but his alter ego Keith Lemon is based of his best friend.

• Famous guests- there is always a big range or guests on the show who do many different things so nearly all the people watching will know at least one of the guests if not the presenter Keith Lemon. There are three  guests that are always on the panel that are Fearne Cotton, Holly Willoughby and Gino D'Acampo. Some of the most recognisable guests are: Chris Ramsey, Dynamo, Danny Dyer, Rizzle Kicks, Jimmy Carr, Olly Murs, Joey Essex, Paddy McGuinness and loads more. 

• Small games- in every episode of Celebrity Juice there is a multiple games in it that are nearly all original this make it a random factor so the audience don't know what to expect, this means it isn't too repetitive and keep the show fresh.

• Live Audience- As there is a live audience is keep the codes and conventions of a normal TV panel show but it also makes things funnier, as the panel has such a range of celebrities it means when one of the guests makes a funny joke it make it funnier when the whole audience laughs.

• Running time- Each episode is around 30-60 minutes long so it is a good amount of time and gives the audience enough time to get to know the guests, it also gives time for funny moments.

• Celebrity Juice normally starts at 10pm so this is just after the water shed this is a clear sign that it is rude and not for young viewers because after the water shed most children will be in bed, this gives us a rough guess on what age range the audience is, I think the people who watch this are older teenagers around 16-18 and young adults around 20-25.

Car Share Audience Pleasures

Car Share Audience Pleasures

When people are watching Car Share they find certain things funny and certain techniques make it even funnier:

• Arguments between characters make the audience laugh because it is very relatable for everyone watching.

• Another thing that makes the audience laugh is two opposite characters being put together and forced to talk to each other it causes more arguments because they both have two different views.
  

• Peter Kay is a well known comedian so when people watch Car Share they will most likely find it funnier because they know one of the main characters.
  

• As the all of the episodes are filmed in a car there are a lot of songs being played and nearly all of the songs are old songs to attract an older audience as they will recognize nearly all of the songs.
  

• Car Share uses a technique called snowballing this is where they carry on a joke and make it bigger and bigger this means the joke gets better and more funny.

Episodes

1) In episode 1 it introduces us to the main characters and we can see from of the start that they are both completely opposite, the first thing that we see is that they are both going to argue for example when Kayleigh sprays John with her urine and John is shouting at her yet Kayleigh stays carm and doesn't really recognize what she did wrong so this shows us what the characters are like and what is funny about them.

2) Episode 2 shows the audience again that Kayleigh maybe isn't as smart or as grown up as John because when they are talking Kayleigh mentions what she does in her spare time which is dogging which can be taken in two ways but Kayleigh doesn't know about the other way and involves her old neighbour Ken, this is known as snowballing as they carry on the joke and it gets bigger and bigger each as the episode goes on.

3) Episode 3 shows us that the two main characters

even though they are both different they do think the same because when they see a worker in the same store as them they both know him as someone who smells of fish this creates a bond between the two characters and shows the audience that then can get along. Later on in future episodes we can see them create a much better bond between each other.


4) In episode 4 the audience will be able to see that John is clearly the older character because when he get a hands free phone fitted in his car he is amazed by it whereas Kayleigh isn't as surprised, while Jonh is still in amaze with his hands free phone Kayleigh is remembering last night when she went to watch Beyoncé this shows us that Kayleigh is still young and still goes to concerts.

Walliams and Friends is aimed at teenagers but older teenagers around 16 and above because there is a lot of rude language and shocking scenes also younger people might not get some of the jokes, also some of the star actors like Jack Whitehall wont be well known to the older generation and the younger generation as he usually appears in rude comedy's.

The show is aired after 9:00 PM because children will be in bed because it is not suitable for young kids and they are not allowed to see it, it is on BBC 1 because that is one of the main channels meaning more people will know of it meaning it will attract more attention.

It is on after the watershed as it is not suitable for younger people so by that time they should be in bed meaning they will not get exposed to the rude language.
