神劇公式出爐 英劇《唐頓》奪魁

Researchers have calculated a formula for the perfect TV episode – and found Downton Abbeyconsistently comes closest to the ideal.

Although the last episode of Friends was voted top by the public, followed by Eastenders: Christmas Day 2007, analysts found Downton was scientifically superior.

Studying the 50 most popular shows of the past decade, experts at Bournemouth University's Media School found the best recipe for an episode was 65 percent drama, 12 percent shocks, nine percent comedy, eight percent action and six percent romance.

TV expert Boyd Hilton and analysts at Bournemouth University's Media School carried out painstaking research and found Downton Abbey season three, episode five - where Sybil dies, came closest to this.

It contained 36 minutes of 'drama', 3 mins 10 seconds of shock and surprise, 1 minute 10 seconds of comedy, 3 mins 10 seconds of action and 2 minutes 50 seconds of romance.

That equates to 78 percent drama, seven percent shocks and surprises, two percent comedy, seven percent action and six percent romance.

The study, commissioned by BT TV, found Desperate Housewives: Bang season three, episode seven was the most action-packed with 33 percent action.

Meanwhile, Modern Family: Hawaii season one, episode 23 was the funniest, consisting of 74 percent comedy.

The Friends episode which topped the poll of 2,000 Brits, was made up of 48 percent drama, 29 percent comedy, two percent romance and 21 percent shocks and surprises.

TV reviewer Boyd Hilton said: 'What makes this research so exciting and unique is how it helps us work out why a particular episode is so powerful and unmissable.

'This is the ultimate guide to the recipe for TV Gold.'

Delia Bushell, Head of BT TV, said: 'The small screen now rivals the big screen thanks to the huge number of gripping TV series, unmissable sport and box office hits available at our fingertips.

'As we launch the next exciting phase of BT TV we wanted to know what makes TV so unmissable. Through our research, we've cracked the code.'

The most dramatic episode was found to be The Walking Dead: No Sanctuary (Season five, episode one) - 98 percent drama.

There was a tie for most shocking between Grey's Anatomy: Sanctuary season six, episode 23 andDexter: Seeing Red season one, episode 10 - both with 23 percent of shocks and surprises.

Meanwhile, the most romantic was deemed to be Sex and the City: An American Girl in Paris: Part Deux season six, episode 20 with 28 percent romance.近日，英國的研究人員計算出判定神劇的量化公式。通過數(shù)據(jù)分析，英國連續(xù)劇《唐頓莊園》全劇的表現(xiàn)都近乎完美，堪稱神劇。

盡管在07年的圣誕節(jié)上，美國情景喜劇《老友記》的大結局高票當選神劇稱號，緊隨其后的還有《倫敦東區(qū)》，但是分析數(shù)據(jù)表明《唐頓莊園》的戲劇表現(xiàn)更加出色。

通過研究過去十年以來50部最熱門的影視劇，伯恩茅斯大學傳媒學院的研究人員總結出判定神劇的量化標準：炮制出電視劇完美的一集需要65%的劇情設計、12%的驚險畫面、9%的喜劇效果、8%的動作場面和6%的感情戲份。

電視產業(yè)專家伯伊德·希爾頓和伯恩奧斯大學傳媒學院的數(shù)據(jù)人員在堅持不懈的研究后，共同總結出最接近神劇比例的是《唐頓莊園》第三季第五集，三小姐茜玻因分娩并發(fā)癥死亡。

在這一集中，有36分鐘的劇情故事、3分10秒的戲劇沖突、1分10秒的喜劇內容、3分10秒的動作戲份和2分50秒的情感戲份。

這換算成比例就相當于78%的劇情設計、7%的情節(jié)沖突、2%的喜劇成分、7%的動作畫面，6%的感情戲份。

這項研究由BT TV 委托制作，通過分析，發(fā)現(xiàn)《絕望主婦：沖擊》第三季第七集擁有高達33%的動作場面，堪稱之最。

與此同時《摩登家庭：夏威夷》第一季第23集擁有74%的喜劇成分，榮登搞笑之首。

在2000名英國人投票中，獲得票數(shù)最高的《老友記》則擁有48%的劇情設計、29%的喜劇效果、2%的感情戲份和21%的人物沖突和驚喜。

電視評論家伯伊德·希爾頓稱：“這項調查之所以有趣和特別，是因為它幫助我們了解為什么一部與眾不同的電視劇會對觀眾有那么大的吸引力。

“這是制作金牌電視劇的不二法門。”

BT TV的負責人迪莉婭·布希爾也表示：“現(xiàn)如今電視行業(yè)能與電影齊頭并進，這歸功于眾多精彩的電視連續(xù)劇、不容錯過的體育賽事和我們所播放的賣座電影。

“當BT TV開始了下一個令人興奮的發(fā)展階段，我們想了解是什么讓電視有吸引力。通過這項研究，我們已經破解了這個密碼。”

據(jù)研究表明，最具戲劇性的電視劇是《行尸走肉：》第五季的第一集。在這集中，劇情設計高達98%。

在最驚險的劇集上，《實習醫(yī)生格蕾》與《嗜血法醫(yī)》打成平手。《實習》第六季第23集和《嗜血》第一季第10集同樣擁有23%的戲劇沖突。

至于最浪漫的電視劇的頭銜，毫無疑問落入了《欲望都市》手中。在《欲望都市：情迷巴黎》第六季第20集里，高達28%的感情戲份點燃了滿滿少女心。
