The show has always aired on ITV, the episodes normally last between 45-60 minutes. ITV is a commercial TV network which has previously aired some very notable popular gameshows for example “Who wants to be a millionaire“?” and at the moment is airing shows like “ The X Factor” and “Britain's Got Talent”. Therefore ITV is the ideal channel to host the gameshow as it will be exposed to many people who watch the other gameshows e.g. through the channels own adverts.

CHANNEL

THE HOST – STEPHEN MULHERNStephen Mulhern is best known for presenting television programmes for ITV. He has and still is presenting shows like “Big Star’s Little Star” and “Ant & Dec’s Saturday night takeaway” these are very well known ITV shows and therefore makes him perfect to present Catchphrase, he's known for his humour and friendliness.

THE SUCCESS• ITV has confirmed it is reviving gameshow Catchphrase following a

successful pilot, with Britain's Got More Talent presenter Stephen Mulhern stepping into Roy Walker's shoes as host.

• In its original form Catchphrase ran for more than 300 episodes on ITV between 1986 and 2002. Walker was the show's best-known host, presenting it for 13 years from 1999.

CONTESTANTS• All you need is to be the minimum age required to take part in the show (18

years) .• The website suggests that you should be outgoing with a big personality and up

for a fun day out.• When any celebrity competes in the celebrity version they are competing to give

money to their chosen charity

THE PRIZES• Each round you maintain more and more money from each answer you

get right

THE AUDIENCEPeople who may watch the show are people who love guessing games and any type of competition, as there can be some people playing it who are better than others. The show is aimed for the older audience as some younger viewers may not know some of the catchphrases.

BROADCASTING AND THE STATION SCHEDULES• The show is broadcast on ITV2 at either 11:15 or 1:05 on Saturdays or

Sundays

FAMILY FORTUNES

THE RULES• Two family teams, each with five members, are asked to guess the results of surveys, in which 100 people would be

asked open ended questions (e.g. "we asked 100 people to name something associated with the country Wales" or "we asked 100 people to name a breed of dog")

• Each round begins with a member of each family (in rotation, meaning all players do this at least once) approaching the podium. As the question is read, the first of the two nominees to hit a buzzer gives an answer. If this is not the most popular answer, the other nominee is asked. The family with the more popular answer then chooses whether to "play" the question, or "pass" control to the other family.

• The host then passes down the line of the controlling team, asking for an answer from each. After each answer, the board reveals whether this answer featured. If not, the family is assessed a strike, and the family loses control of the board after accumulating three strikes (also referred as striking out) in the round. If a family manages to come up with all the survey answers (most commonly six in the early part of the show, reduced in number after the commercial break) before striking out, they win the amount in pounds of the total number of people who had given the answers. A strike is marked similar to tenpin bowling with an X on the board, accompanied by a buzzer

It used to be aired on ITV and it was then moved out of peak time and became a daily daytime show, hosted by Andy Collins, but it only had a short run in this format before being axed.

THE SUCCESS•The highs and lows of operating a family firm are well documented. On the one hand the extra sense of purpose, strength of commitment and loyalty

•between family members working together is often greater than that of everyday employees. Knowing you're building the business to pass onto future

•generations encourages the longer-term planning mind-set needed for sustainable growth and success.

CONTESTANTS• The type of contestants that would go on this type of game show are probably, obviously families, as

the name of the game show is “Family Fortunes” So• Families will help and join together to try and win a grand prize, they will try and win it together. This

was a very popular game show as it also brought families• closer together by playing and guessing together, and if they win, they will be able to split the cash

prize to buy their own things or buy things together. • The show is broad cast on ITV2 at 5pm.

THE PRIZES• The top cash prize in "Big Money" in the first series (1980) was £1,000. From the second series (1981),

the prize started at £1,000 then rose by £500 weekly if no one won, to a limit of £2,500 (£3,000 from 1982, which it could stay at for more than one week if it still was not won). Once won, it reverted to £1,000 for the next edition. In the 1987 series, it started at £1,000, and if not won rose by £1,000 per week to a maximum of £3,000. From the 1988 series, the prize was stabilised at £3,000. After the abolition of the IBA's prize limits, the top prize rose to £5,000 from 1996. It should be remembered, though, that the money had to be shared out between five people; by the end of its run even the top cash prize seemed relatively small compared to those available on other game shows such as Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

THE AUDIENCEThe type of people who watch this gameshow are the family audiences, because there is no swearing and it is a gameshow which encourages you to get involved

AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL

THE RULES• A group of contestants are chosen to live together in the Top Model House and

compete to become America's Next Top Model. Each week, one girl is asked to leave (called 'elimination') because she does not have the standard and ability to become a top model. The elimination is based on a photoshoot or a commercial and the reward challenge is different every week. The last few girls travel to another country (France, Italy, Japan, China, Thailand etc.) to continue the competition. Near the end, they will do a CoverGirl commercial. Then, the last girls appear in a final runway show against each other. The winner is then chosen by the group of judges that includes Tyra Banks and others.

The show is broadcasted on ITV (Britain) and CW (America). These are ideal channels because they are known for allowing profanity – therefore unlikely exposed to children – and is aired on the channel aimed at the target audience.

CHANNEL

Born in Inglewood, California, she began her career as a model at age 15, and was the first African American woman to be featured on the covers of GQ and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, on which she appeared twice. She was a Victoria's Secret Angel from 1997 to 2005. By the early 2000s, Banks was one of the top-earning models in the world.

This makes her a perfect host as she herself has much experience in the fashion industry and as well as empathise with the contestants, she can help them out in improvement.

THE SUCCESS• There has been 22 successful cycles in which the audience has been verey committed with• Models were born from the show, whether they had won or not• People are always applying to be on the showIn contrast to what I had previously said, The show's cancellation was confirmed on October 14, 2015 and the series concluded on December 4, 2015. It was the last show originally from UPN to end its run. In February 2016, it was announced that the show had been picked up by VH1. Tyra Banks will not be returning to host the show but will still serve as executive producer, and it is likely the judging panel will be revamped. It was then officially announced that Rita Ora would be serving as the host and a judge of the upcoming twenty-third cycle. The show was also on IVT, ITV Is a channel were there is a lot of adult-basd shows, not really for children. Which is why this is on ITV as there’s some swearing involved in this shaow. The host is Tyra Banks, as she was also a very popular model, and wanted to give others a chance to model with her two, which is why she created this show, which lasted 22 seasons.

CONTESTANTS• People who are interested in becoming a model and feel they can

strive to win the show, it is usually the general public however sometimes celebrities have competed, it is open to people of any type of status.

THE PRIZES• The 3 main prizes from the most recent shows consist of• $100,000 • A contract with a type of brand e.g. the most recent one was GUESS• A picture of themselves for the front cover of NYLON MAGAZINE

THE AUDIENCE• The demographic for the audience is anybody interested in models and

the drama that comes along with it. Also there is a lot of cussing, and a few adult scenes shown as they are staying all together. Therefore it is aimed at people above the age of 12 because it is censored.

the channel CW at 6pm on both channels.
