TV Comedy Panel Shows

What are the codes and conventions of a comedy TV panel show?
TV panel shows often last for 30 minutes and have an even layout to show all guests on screen at once usually sitting at shared tables for each "team". Dave is one example of a TV channel which shows panel shows including but not exclusive to; Mock the week, 8 out of 10 cats and Have I got news for you. Mock the week is shown on TV at 10 pm, which is after the watershed, as it includes swearing and rude comedy. It's target audience is teen to adult as it include sexual and rude jokes, it is a household TV show that is often watch late at . Mock the week likely earns lots of money as their guests include famous comedians such as Frankie Boyle, Russell Howard and Hugh Dennis. Their studio is only a large room with some space for seats for the audience and for tables for the guests, this allows them to have a low budget. The guests they invite on to the show allow the show to have a large viewer base with minimal advertising.
