TV Comedy Panel Shows

All TV comedy Panel shows are topical and have abusive banter between the panelists. There are usually main panelists and a presenter who appear every episode, but also different guests to give the show variety. Panel shows are usually 30 minutes long, much like sitcoms and sketch shows. An example of a comedy panel show is Mock the Week on BBC1. This show has a presenter, Dara O'Briain and a team captain, Hugh Dennis who feature every episode, and five different guest comedians. The show mocks the current news stories of the week, which is funny for the audience as the comedy is up to date and relatable.


Another example of a comedy panel show is a League of Their Own on Sky 1. This is a sport based panel show with regular panelists Freddie Flintoff, Jamie Redknapp, Jack Whitehall and presenter James Corden. A huge feature of a League of Their Own is the banter between the teammates and the sporting guests. A League of Their Own makes a large revenue through advertising and the big audience figures on Sky 1.
