A League Of Their Own Representation

A League Of Their Own (Representation).

Background:

With the background colours for each team and the presenter, we expect to see bright colours that stand out. Also the colours are expected to be similar colour coordinated so that the can match the rest of the scenery. This is shown by the teams having red for Redknapp's team and blue for Flintoff's team, and those two colours together make purple which is the background colour for James Corden the presenter.

The bright lighting helps to show the presenter, guests and captains. With the bright lighting the audience can see every part of the set because in different parts of the show there are physical challenges that each team needs to take part of.

The layout of the show has a smallish table in the centre for the main presenter with two large table on either side of him for the two different teams of three to be placed. Then far stage right is  curved wall, which in the final round is lifted up to show the sporting challenge.

When you tune in to watch A League Of Their Own you expect to see the same colours in the background, the same scenery and the same layout of the show. If anything is different it might be a technical error, or James Corden (presenter) will mention that the scenery has had a makeover.

Each show of A League Of Their Own you expect to see James Corden presenting the show, and you also expect to see Jamie Redknapp and Andrew Flintoff as captains, if for some reason one of the captains can't make one of the shows then a replacement sporting celebrity will be called in to be captain. Precious guest captains include: Gabby Logan, Lee Mack, Peter Crouch and Dermot O'Leary. Previously Georgie Thompson and John Bishop were the guest regulars for each team. But since both have now left the show Jack Whitehall is the only guest regular.

For some shows celebrities have been in the audience, including Mike Tindall and Louis Smith.

The format of the show is expected to be the same throughout each show. The first round is a matching up round in which the teams have to match up sporting celebrities with an item that is related to them. After that round a sporting challenge is set in honour of one of the sporting guests. Then to finish off the show there is a quick fire round in which the time the teams get to answer questions is determined by how long the teams can sustain a sporting challenge.

With A League Of Their Own sporting stars are represented as fit athletes, in great shape, and on then sports show they are always coaked into doing some sort of physical activity to do with their sport, as they are represented to be brilliant in that area of their field. They also make jokes about Harry Redknapp and getting injured all the time, this is due to the fact that Jamie had to retire from football early due to injuries and the fact that even after retiring from football he has still managed to get injured. Also with places being represented they have always made fun of John Bishop and his Scouse accent, because of this they pretend not to understand the scouse accent and make fun of it sometimes mimicking it.

  1. How does this discussion relate to representation. You have included a narrative discussion in here (even though you discuss it as a format it still relates to a narrative the audience would recognise). You need to change the representation discussion though as you don't actual discuss how people, places are represented. Re-cap on the presentation.
