GENERIC RESEARCH & AUDIENCE FEEDBACK- Friday Night Comedy- Dead Ringers 14 June 2019
When writing my script, I wanted to make sure that it had some reference to pre-existing Radio 4 comedy shows. 'Dead Ringers', is one of Radio 4's most popular political comedy show. However, it follows the traditional standup comedy scriping, which my focus group said they didn't prefer as much.
PLANNING- Have I Got News For You Inspiration
- Have I Got News for You, is a game show on BBC 1, where celebrity contestants find themselves in the hot seat as they are quizzed on the latest news.
- I wanted to incorporate this style of comic commentary into my radio show, as it fits the brief, in terms of a comedy show, but also incorporates a similar house-style of Radio 4's interest in politics
- Here, the celebrities and stand-up comedians, create an analogy for Brexit, whilst mocking Nigel Farage
- This is a style I am hoping to incorporate into my show
