Researching TV Productions-Mock the Week

Visual Codes The set for Mock the Week is based around Panels and the 'Stage'.The  panellists are often comedies and they have a selection of  'Scenes we'd like to see' and 'If this is the answer what is the question'.During the programme they talk about important topics that have happened in the news and they 'mock' and make these topics funny but they do also tell us the true information.When the panellists go to the stage they perform stand-up comedy sketches about a given topic.

Between each question it is best to leave a slight gap as the interviewee may suddenly think of something that they want to mention.It's also important to not interrupt your interviewer as it
