What is a chat show?• A talk show (American and Australian English) or chat
show (British) is a television or radio program where one person (or group of people) will discuss various topics put forth by a talk show host. Ricky Lake
• Sometimes, talk shows feature a panel of guests, usually consisting of a group of people who are learned or who have great experience in relation to whatever issue is being discussed on the show for that episode. Oprah Winfrey
• Other times, a single guest discusses their work or area of expertise with a host or co-hosts. Piers Morgan
• Write down as many chat show conventions as possible.

Task 1 (a)• Research task – You will begin your research
by viewing at least 4 examples of the chat show form. (TIP- try to include a range of US/UK based shows and current/ past shows).
• Your viewing notes will need to identify and compare the similarities and differences in the codes and conventions used in each show.
Green Room
• Is there a room where the guests go to wait?
• Can we see the guests in this room? What are they doing?
Hosts
• Who is hosting the chat show?
• Gender?
• Are they celebrities as well as chat show hosts and if so what are they famous for? Films...etc)
Guests
• How many guests are there per show?
• Are the guests different to each other, how?
Entertainment of the appeal
• Is this chat show entertaining? Why? Examples.
• How does it appeal to its target audience?
Audience
• Live public audiences?
• Do the audiences take part in the chat show?
• Describe the demographics of the audience – age, gender, class, etc.
Music/audio
• Describe the music/audio during the chat show.
• Does the music vary for each guest? How and why?
• Is there a visible band?
Props
• What props are used? Eg sofa/chairs etc.
Quirk or point of interest• Is there something ‘quirky’ that is used during
the chat show?/ Does the chat show have a unique aspect that other chat shows do not?
• For example: Jonathan Ross has 4 poofs and a piano – they wear a face of each guest on their t-shirt and they have an intro song for each guest.
Studio Layout
• Formal/Informal?
• What else can you see in the studio? For example sliding doors, big screens showing audience and guest what’s going on in the green room.
Topics
• What topics are discussed between the host and guest. Why?
Style
• What is the style of the chat show? Comedy, quite rude, sexual innuendo etc.
Duration/Structure
• How long is the chat show?
• How is it structured? For example are there breaks, how long is each guest interviewed, is there a consistent ending for the chat show.
Special effects
• Sound effects?
• Background graphics?
• Video clips?
Interview techniques
• Friendly, chatty etc?
Task 1 (a)
• You can write your viewing notes using the comparison grid (Student Drive) but must be completed neatly and detailed.
• Or in the form of the Task 1a exemplar form also in the Student Drive.
• Keep a record of any websites, clips etc that you use for Task 1 (d)
Task 1 (b)• Research techniques – develop your research
into the four shows that you have chosen by finding, reading, highlighting and annotating secondary research – you will need to include at least two online articles and two print-based articles.
• From your findings establish 5 questions you would like to seek feedback from your audience on Task 1 (b) Vox pops doc on S Drive
• Conduct this primary research by filming ‘vox pops’ – Tuesday 18th May, period 1.
• Is there an ailment at least one Loose Woman hasn’t suffered and is willing to share with the public?
• Never, in the history of television, have so few women experienced so much in such a short time.
• Betrayal, addictions, disease, divorce, debt, toyboys and cosmetic surgery. That’s just for starters. The all-female panellists on ITV’s daytime show don’t just come with baggage, they’ve got crates of it stacked up in containers.
• Lorryloads of sorrow, heartache, misery – and smatterings of joy.
• Once labelled the “Tupperware party” of British television, it’s the show critics love to hate, which is strange because it defies the convention that modern television is ageist – several loose ladies admit they’ll never see 50 again.
• And, in the nicest possible way, it’s no beauty contest.
• It doesn’t need to be.
Loose Women’s Denise Welch shows courage with cocaine confessions
