Studio Production: Saturday Night Takeaway (ITV)

As part of my research I watched a studio based entertainment programme.

SATURDAY NIGHT TAKEAWAY



Saturday Night Takeaway is an entertainment variety show broadcast live on Saturday nights on ITV1. The show is usually broadcast from Studio 1 at The London Studios, but this will change from 2018 onwards when the studios are closed.

The main point I would like to make about Saturday Night Takeaway is their inclusion of the audience in the show. The show is all about the audience both in the studio, and at home. They surprise people, give away money and holidays, and one lucky member of the studio audience gets to play 'Win the Ads'. Win the Ads is an original format that allows an audience member to win the contents of an ad break from the previous weeks television.

Without the audience involvement the show wouldn't be anywhere near as good. The best part of it is how some members of the audience don't even know they're going to be part of the show, and this makes it all the more exciting. The reactions of the surprised audience members makes those segments even better. Add this with Ant and Decs presenting personalities and you have a very entertaining tv show.

I will take this information and try to incorporate it into my show. I would like there to be some sort of audience involvement as I feel it will make the show more entertaining and more relatable. People would want to be in the audience just because they know they can get involved in the show.
