Comparing Magazine Shows
The One Show&Top Gear
Presenters
THE ONE SHOW TOP GEAR
•Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley•Team of reporters on different subject areas•Usually have one or two guests on the show
•Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May•Also features Test Driver ‘The Stig’•Each show features one celebrity that takes part in their ‘Star in a reasonably priced car’ challenge.
Comparison of Presenters
THE ONE SHOW
The one show is a mix of gender’s and cultures to give a varied look on each reporter piece.
The ‘Couple’ is a nice friendly team which doesn’t wish to scare the viewer or make them feel uneasy, instead they want the audience to feel like ‘friends’ of the presenters.
TOP GEAR
3 ‘Blokes’ as presenters to add emphasis that it is a traditional male subject area
The trio is used in my opinion to make them look like friendly rivals rather than have just two presenters in a ‘couple’ role which would look very strange in a Car magazine show.

Comparison Of Content
THE ONE SHOW
Varied but not very in depth looks in reports
Constant feedback with guests and celeb is brought into more than one discussion
Not too threatening, not likely to offend anybody
TOP GEAR
Not so varied but very in-depth about it’s subject area
Very little celeb interaction, they have their piece and that is usually it.
Can be offensive to some viewers due to the risqué nature of some of the talk elements
The Sets
THE ONE SHOW
Bright Set Living Room feel,
couches one for couple another for guest(s)
Outlook into the city to show it’s live
A few dozen members of the public in the studio
TOP GEAR
Dark set, Similar to a garage
with a lot of ‘stats’ walls (cool wall, stars in cars, fast cars)
Several 100 members of the public in the studio
The sound
THE ONE SHOW
Jolly theme tune Non-threatning, nice
songs and old classics used in VT
TOP GEAR
Main Theme: Jessica – Allman Brothers Band
VT pieces usually have either 70’s rock/heavy metal or 00’s indie, rock and roll depending on how modern the car is usually
The Audience
THE ONE SHOW
From the episode I watched the audience did little more than provide claps and cheers but the guests would come via the crowd
TOP GEAR
Constant chatter with the audience, in fact the presenters will occasionally go off-topic to embarrass the audience members.
Also a vote for items such as the cool wall
Guests make their way via the crowd.
My Personal Opinions
THE ONE SHOW
First time watching it and found it O.K
Didn’t find all the pieces interesting but realised they were trying to cater to many different audiences
Would watch if nothing else was on.
TOP GEAR
Huge Fan of the show Not a huge
petrolhead, but I enjoy the challenges and the ‘chat’ segments of the show
Aim to catch every episode.
