The crystal maze appeals to new fans by having celebrities from different areas of popular culture. For example there is Rio Ferdinand who is a famous footballer, Michelle Keegan who has appeared on soaps and Josh Widdicombe who is a comedian. The host, Stephen Merchant, is also new and a comedian so people who like him would also want the show. The comedians also attract news fans to the show as people will see the show because they think it will be funny. The graphics and outfits have also been changed to make the show look more modern so younger viewers won't be put off. The show is also made as a one of special for charity so more people are likely to watch it because they feel like they are helping charity and because people don't want to miss watching something if it probably won't happen again.
The crystal maze appeals to old fans because it is set out in a similar way to the original and all the zones are the same. The games in the show have also been in the show before so it similar to the original. There is also a cameo from the original host to attract old fans of the show.

Game Show Pitch
Game Show Pitch
My game show is called: Beat the Pleb
The Target Audience is:
Age: 12+ Location: Studio in Norwich Ethnicity: N/A Gender: Both
Demographic: C1-A
Psychographics – Reformers and Aspirers
The contestants will be: A panel of celebrities and one regular person who has very good trivia knowledge.
Demographic: C1-A
Psychographics – Explorers and Succeeders
Host – who will I audition and why? Jack Whitehall, because we need a well-known celebrity that will react comically to the knowledge of the “Pleb”, and the ignorance of the celebrities.
Any other use of celebrities?
A panel of 4 B-list celebrities with one well known one as the team captain is set up.
What type of games / questions / rounds will you have?
There will be a selection of trivia questions which are catered towards the “Pleb” winning, and making the celebrities look ignorant. They are asked and the first to buzz in with the correct answer wins a point. If they get it wrong the answer passes to the other team. If they get it wrong, then no-one gets points and the next question is asked. This is round one. In round two there will be a team based game for the celebrities, where they have to compete as a team against the “Pleb” e.g. they have to dodge the “Pleb” firing eggs at them from an egg cannon for a minute. Whichever side wins gets 5 points. In the third round, the “Pleb” answers questions for points whilst the celebrities compete in a team based task for points. The final round has a random one of the celebrities go head to head with the “Pleb”. There is a random, completely pointless task that they have to complete to earn a massive 15 points. This gives the trailing team a chance to redeem themselves. It could be anything from who can drink a litre of undiluted orange squash the quickest, or scoop the most baked beans out of a tray into a bucket using their fingers. The team with the most points at the end of the show wins. The “Pleb” will win £5000, and the celebrity team gets £5000 for a charity of their choice.
USP
The USP of the show is that a normal person gets to compete against celebrities which makes the show unique because most game shows only put celebrities against celebrities.
Synergy
The show could work with other companies as the celebrity team could be made up of actors from a new TV series or film to advertise both shows. Also if a celebrity released a new product they could talk about it during the show. Some questions could also be about certain brands to advertise their products.

Reception Theory
The reception theory is a theory from Stuart Hall which states that different audiences interpret media differently to how it is meant to be interpreted or differently to how other people interpret this. How the audience interprets the media depends on there experience. The theory states that the more similar experiences the audience shares with the creator of the media the more likely the audience is to interpret the media in the intended way.
