QI TV PROGRAMME ANALYSIS

I watched series N, episode 11
The genre of this programme is Game show comedy
The host of QI is Sandi Toksvig, the guests on this episode were Holly Walshe, Nish Kumar, Phil Jupitus and Alan Davies.
The Relationship between Toksvig and the panelists is very witty and quick. They bounce off eachothers humours and communicate with a high level of illentegence. The relationship between Alan Davies and Toskvig is slightly different as he is seen as the 'genial fall guy' so Toskvig laughs when he gets things wrong and has a funny buzzer sound
In the episode I watched it was all about 'nonsense'. I learnt that Glass Armonicas are beautiful instruments that are widely regarded for. Marie Antoinette even use to play it.
Its funny when Phil Jupitus reacts like he is throwing up when Toksvig shows a picture of a worm and how he reacts. This makes the other panellists laugh and the audience feel involved in the joke.
Toskvigs extended knowledge is shown when she is quick and on the point. She always seems to know a lot about everything and if  a guest brings up a subject she can often add interesting facts and insights to the conversation in an educational and informative way.
They are active as they laugh at all the right moments and occasionally join in with singing or shouting at Alan Davies.
Alan Davies is the Genial figure that is the one to make the mistakes before anyone else but not feel embarresed by that. He accepts this role and thats what is so humourous, the fact that he is involved in his own mishaps, when he hears his buzzer sound for example, he just laughs like he expects it. he is also relatable because he says the answers that some of the audience members are thinking.
It educates by having the purpose of talking about current things in the news, popular trends and political and religous affairs, but with also a lighthearted banter fulled side to it which makes it more appealing to more audiences such as young people that can relate to the quick witty humour.
Even though the audience do laugh and contribute slightly they are still powerless as they dont become involved in answering questions.
