Talk shows are often appropriate
for sociological scrutiny, as they are recognised for their unique discourse
and their simulated setting meant to generate public interaction in a relaxed,
easy manner. This setup challenges a lot of sociological theories about human
behaviour and how they act in natural settings. In this report the chosen segment
to be analysed comes from the well-known television program Graham Norton. The
segment emerges from the societal understanding of age appropriateness - specifically,
the ageless question of “where do babies come from?” and escalates to match
making and mischief. The point of this report will be to analyse and interpret
the chosen naturally occurring data in order to give an empirical reading to
the occurring social interaction in the chosen data. With reference to popular theories
in sociology such as breaching, concept of self and symbolic interactionism, its
importance will become apparent.
