In this interview, Alan Carr's approach to One Direction is different to any interview that I have previously watched with another host. Firstly, he gives a fun and entertaining introduction to his guests and so sets the mood for what is about to come and what sort of show his is, if anyone hasn't seen it before. He allows the audience to get involved by asking their opinions and allowing them to scream in return.
When One Direction come on stage for the first time, he greets them all with a hug and so sets a friendly mood also, as hugs are seen more friendly than just a handshake, which can be considered as more formal and his show isn't very formal. To prove that it is not a very formal chatr show is, to start with, Alan Carr does not ask them questions striaght away. Instead he pulls out some dolls which have been made and starts to laugh and joke about them and how some of them don't look like them at all. It is very funny and has everyone laughing, even the audience at home. Alan Carr is always saying jokes and making the conversation very light-hearted which will relax the boys and give them confidence in the interview. There is also a dance off at the end between One Direction and Alan Carr, which you never normally see and so it was unique and different.
Alan asks a multiple of questions, both open and closed. A closed question he asked was 'So do you all have houses of your own now?' to which they answered 'Yes'. A closed question is when you ask someone something to which they normally only say yes or no to beacsue there is nothing to elaborate on. However, an open question is when you ask someone a question which they can describe something or give you more detail on a particular topic. An open question that Alan Carr asked during the interview was 'Tell us what the name of your album is about'. to this question One Direction explain and describe their new apartments to Alan and the audience and give a lot of detail about them so the viewers get a good description as to what sort of place they live in. The reason that both open and closed questions are asked is because some questions are more important than others and are what people are really wanting to ask about. For example, the housing question you can't really go into it too much because of security reasons, but the CD is what they have come to promote and so an open question is more suitable so that it can be spoken about in a well explained way so the audience has more insight into it.
The interview starts off with the boys being introduced in a humorous way, and there is music to lift the mood and the audience are allowed to scream and shout, whereas in Interviews such as Piers Morgan's life stories people normally only clap in appreciation, which shows that The Alan Carr Show is aimed at a younger audience because they are having One Direction as the guests which would appeal to the younger audience rather than older people who adults would recognise and grew up with.
Alan Carr then asked each boy a question in turn about things that involved only them so that they all got a mention of something that has happened to them or that they can do. He doesn't linger on one boy for too long to make the others feel like they aren't as popular.
After these questions was the dance off, and so entertainment was given after the questions so that there was that light-hearted feel again and then Alan Carr wound it up whilst dancing and introduced his next guest at the end and so it had a different ending than most chat shows.
