The groups that are represented are males and females, straight men and gay men. This is seen as the host of the TV show is a gay man and the other members who are seated on the show are straight. I think Graham Norton is a dominant representation of a gay man as people see them to be talkative, happy, loud ect. Arnold Schwarzenegger is a dominant representation of a male as men are seen to be tall, confident, strong creating the image that he is the ideal male. This links to Medhurts theory as it talks about how stereotypes can be negative which creates a negative image of Graham Norton as he is a gay male.
The groups that are represented in this are British people, tourists and royalty. The representation of the Queen is dominant as it shows the power that she has and how wealthy royalty is. The representation of the tourists is also dominant as they are usually from other countries and are usually interested in the royal family. Tourists are also seen to be on holiday and learning new things about different cultures. This links back to Richard Dyer: Stereotyping and power as the British people were mainly white and the tourists were from other ethnicities.
The groups that was represented was a dominant representation of girls in high school but also an alternative representation as the girls were playing football and this is seen as a more masculine thing to do. This links back to Mulvey as the dominant view in the media is masculine and created for the benefit of men. Women are presented for men to look at, hence the ‘male gaze’. This links to the idea of ‘sex sells’ and women being represented as sex objects.
