Qi Episode: Audience Pleasures

The Episode that I watched was Series L: 10 Lying which starred Jack Whitehall, Sara Pascoe, Adam Hills and of course Alan Davies and Steven Fry. The audience pleasure comes in from the different celebrity guests that come on the show. Jack Whitehall is known by teenagers mostly because he stars in the recent TV show 'Bad Education' and also stars in a panel show called 'A league of their own' which is also popular with teenagers and also adults. The other two comedians Sara Pascoe and Adam Hills are mostly know by adults due to their shows aimed at adults rather than teenagers. The show is all about questions and answers being 'Qi' meaning Quite interesting, which may engage the viewer and the live audience. Having all stand-up comedians on the panel including Alan Davies makes the whole atmosphere funnier due to their comments on a conversation or stupid answer to the question. Also having a very, very intelligent graduate from The University of Cambridge who has all of the knowledge and also some witty banter to add to the jokes going on throughout the comedians. Another point of audience pleasure is that Steven Fry gets the audience to join in too sometimes, and in this particular episode, they find a man at the back of the studio that knows all the answers to the questions. They name him 'the shouty man'. All of this come together to create a friendly funny atmosphere that everyone enjoys even at home.
