Tea and Toast features

Prank call
This feature involves Adele or Sam being given 5 words that they have to fit into a phone conversation. This feature will be pre-recorded so that it can be edited so that it’s shorter and all content is suitable.

This feature is suitable for our audience because this age range find prank calls funny. This is proven by Scott Mills’ show on BBC Radio 1 as they have a similar feature (see bibliography) and our show is targeting a similar audience to this show and other Radio 1 daytime shows.

Know Your Lyrics
Know Your Lyrics is when one sentence of a song is said and then the contestants have to guess the next lyric. We choose to have the competitors making an animal noise when they want to make a guess, as this will add another humorous element to the game. We decided to get Millie to present this feature as then it’s different voice for the listeners and allows all three presenters to play along and therefore create more of a competition. We chose this feature as it allows the audience to play along. This feature is going to be live, as this will create a better competitive mood.

This feature is similar to the ‘Next Line’ round on Never Mind The Buzzcocks. Never Mind The Buzzcocks is repeated on the channel, Dave. Our audience is similar to the audience for this channel and show (16-34 year olds) and therefore we believe that our audience we be entertained by this feature.


The Encore Features

Interview with musical theatre student
We decided to take advantage of our college’s popular musical theatre course by interviewing a student and finding out what interests them about musical theatre, why they chose the course and what they plan to do after college.

We thought that this would appeal to our audience as it gives them an insight into how a performer might get a career in musical theatre.

Musical Reviews
The idea behind this feature was to give people who haven’t seen the musicals an insight into what they’re like and whether they’re worth seeing. We have created 3 pre-recorded musical reviews written by members of our production team.

We think that this idea will interest our audience as the songs from musicals entertain them and therefore hearing more about the musicals and what other people think of them would appeal to them too and might influence them to see the musical.

This link is an unedited version of Amy's review. For the final clip we will be editing out the pauses and putting a soundbed underneath the voice.

What Is This Musical?

This feature involves a few members of The Encore Show acting out a short scene from a well-known musical. This will then be uploaded onto the shows Facebook and YouTube page so that our audience can guess the answers. The audio from these clips will be played out on the show and then the answers will be revealed. We think the audience will be interested in this feature as it tests their musical knowledge.

The idea behind this feature is like all guessing games, to get the audience involved. It also gives us the chance of creating some cross media content for our Facebook and Youtube pages.

See one below. Others on our facebook page.
