Have I Got News For You Analysis

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aByPw403hXM

Have I Got News For You is a BBC satirical quiz show.

The host changes week to week and on the episode I watched it was hosted by Jo Brand.  She is wearing casual clothes and her hair is dyed pink. Whilst those on the left are dressed smart and those on the right are dressed smart-casual.
The background of the set have faked newspaper clippings that are comical which ties into the fact that it is a satirical show and thus is comedic and topical. Every few series they change the backgrounds to keep them more related to current affairs.
The shot type on Jo is a close up and the shot type for the panellists are in mid-range shots but go to close-up when they are speaking.
On the set at the desk where the host sits, there is a counter of points, not that it applies heavily to the show.
With the editing the show cuts away to extracts from newspapers and photos, the background is red and has a newspaper motif, tying into the fact that this is based on the news.
