This Morning

Another programme that I am deciding to write about is the day time magazine show This Morning, I have watched this show many times and I enjoy watching it each time. This Morning is broadcast on ITV1 weekdays 10:30 until 12:30 and varies at the weekends. It has a large amount of viewers and it covers a number of topics such as serious and emotional subjects such as rape, but its balanced out with entertainment subjects such as Dancing on ice and soap guests. It is a very relaxed show and the presenters make the interviewees very comfortable, the presenters are Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield.

The researcher for this show would have to do a tremendous amount, this is because of the number and variety of topics that are discussed throughout each show. For example if a serious subject was discussed such as a rape victim to be interviewed on the show, the researcher would have to make sure that everything that is discussed is allowed to be discussed and to make sure that the guest is completely aware of everything that is going to happen. The researcher has to make sure that every guest would be able get to the studio when they are needed there. There are also a number of VT-s that are shown throughout the show and this can be interviews that have been undertaken outside of the studio, the researcher would then have to make sure that everyone and everything including equipment could get to that location. Again as said in my earlier post the researcher can have a creative out take on the show, is in charge of resources and also has to have a number of meetings with the crew members such as director and producer. 

I will continue to watch this show and feel that when I am watching I am active viewing.
