Another aspect of the 'overexposure' problem is the relationship between producers and agents, where a producer will likely use several of a given agent's clients, thus meaning the same groups of people turn up on the same shows.

[@sarcasticstartrek7719]

Why are the same people always on the telly? Because they're all signed up via Avalon and Hat Trick - all the same celebrities run on all the same tv shows owned by two companies that just rotate them in and out each week. It's why every panel show is the same.

It's great that ITV work out that 80% of the public love *insert celeb presenter name here*, so they put them on every show, but for the 20% that don't TV is basically unwatchable.

[@mary-y8x8h]

Pleased to see this mentioned. There are some new shows I do not even start to watch now because I do not choose to see the same presenter/s who have nothing new to show me, except their new series wardrobe collections. So if a new show comes on, I may not bother to tune in rather than giving it a chance. However, 20% is a large chunk of potential audience to right off unless you are making plenty of money. Are TV companies just playing safe bets here by using the same people? Richard illustrated the producers thinking lines and talents points of view by using the emergence of Sarah Millican, and explaining what the producers and Sarah need to consider with potential overuse. (I would always watch her if she's on the schedules - even repeats and laugh in the same places.) Sarah has proved very popular on many KZbin reaction channels, and she has also chaired/presented comedy panel shows on Radio 4. She' is obviously doing something right.

[@jbaldwin1970]

The broom cupboard where Philip Schofield got his start was the continuity announcement’ suite’. The morning after the 87 hurricane it was used as a temporary studio for the news. Somewhere on KZbin there’s an old BBC training video that shows the job in action. Back when it was all done with tapes the team would get everything ready, cue things up, and announce them. They working just sit watching the telly…

Not a blooper but a massive cost.. we (art department) had to replace a double fridge in a stately house with a cutaway back panel for the fridge door opening shot, getting the heavy American style fridge in to the house we had to transgress across a hallway parquet floor .. we did this by putting it on its side wrapped in packing blankets and carefully sliding across the floor..... on wrap we returned to extract the said fridge the same way only to be told a few runners had got it out for us, by pushing it upright back across the parquet floor, digging a gouge so deep, you could fall in! out of this very..very..VERY expensive floor, cost production a hefty % of the films budget to replace the floor. ref sustainability, the film industry is the worst, i literally spend a month building a set, its used for two weeks, then its skipped, the turn around from fresh timber to skip is criminal, i do believe there is a compony that says it will recycle your set, but they charge more than a skip so.... alot of films also save key parts of a set for re shoots just in case for six months, these like the game show sets are kept in various farm out houses round the country, many a time iv rocked up to pick up something for a previous production and a farmer has diversified and built some nice new farm buildings that you would store farming equipment and its full of film sets, nice passive earner from a production compony... also big yellow etc have to my knowledge a few props within that will be needed for next season.

I have to say ITV is limited on talent. Yes it would be nice to get a fresh face that isn't box ticking. I feel getting Holly Willougby and Stephen Mulhern is very box ticking. You Bet when it when it was broadcast the presenters Bruce Forsyth and Matthew Kelly were/are talented entertainers that entertain, you can have a laugh. My other question to ITV, why bring it back? I also feel ITV has lost its way for decades since its loss it's regions channels e.g. Granada, LWT and Yorkshire TV. These regions introduced very diverse TV from different genres, sitcom, drama and light entertainment. Now ITV is just the same gameshows, Simon Cowell BGT, soaps. If you take them away, ITV would dry like a drought. I feel give it a couple of years it either by just ITVx or they be brought out by Netflix.

Silence Of The Lambs is one of only THREE movies to win the so-called big five - best picture, best director, best actor, best actress and best screenplay.

Incidentally Jonathan Demme (who directed SOTL) went on to direct Philadelphia a few years later (also winning an Oscar) and also the 2004 remake of The Manchurian Candidate, the original 1962 film Marina also mentions, starring Frank “one take” Sinatra.

23:41 the problem is that these repeat guests are not doing “a brilliant job”. They’re just playing it totally safe and making it easier for the producer and their team. They aren’t bringing anything interesting to audiences at all. They’re just providing a formula. Most panel shows or talking heads are totally flat. The jokes are out of touch and most people don’t enjoy them. That’s why they’re on the decline. This closed shop attitude really ruins comedy and entertainment in general. It’s time to take risks. Yeah let some things fall flat, that’s part of taking a risk. The reward will be that you find a lot more new talent and keep things fresh and when it works it’ll work way better than the tired formulaic boys club that seem to be on everything.

[@tyrannicalchocolate]

Never Mind The Buzzcocks would have 4 really random panel guests - Singers, C list celebrities, older actors, etc that didn’t do panel shows normally, and while the offensive humour wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea, the interactions between the guests and hosts were really unique and interesting.

This is something I ask myself time and time again,I never understand why we do not see more variety and different people presenting as I have no doubt at all the talent is out there.There are very few presenters who are so irreplaceable. I would love to see more different faces on TV and especially BBC as a public braodcast channel,I often wonder why they do not open out their recruitment process more often and encourage would be presenters,writers and documentary makers. I do not know enough about how TV gets commissioned but I sometimes think there must be people wout there who really have a documentary in them on a subject they feel passionate about or are knowledgeable about and it would make a great programme. I think another reason for some of the abuses that have happened with the likes of Huw or Philip did nothing illegal Schofield is that these people get an inflated sense of themselves and their importance and paid too much money.There is plenty more talent out there and TV should be actively looking for it and nurturing it.
