The One Show
This is a non-fiction program because it involves real people dealing with real issues. Two presenters and several reporters examine current issues, some serious and some more light-hearted. We know that this is non-fiction because the hosts are not actors, they are trained presenters, but they are not portraying fictional characters. Like a lot of non-fiction or news based programs it is filmed in a studio in front of a live audience.

BBC News
Like The One Show, news programs have presenters and reporters and are filmed in studios. But they usually deal with current events, which are generally serious in nature and only sometimes light-hearted. The news is presented in a direct and straightforward manner, the presenter, or Anchor speaks directly to the audience in an informative way. It is not meant to entertain, but to inform.

American idol
Unlike the previous two shows, American Idol is not meant to inform. It is simply for entertainment purposes. Like them though, it has a presenter who addresses the audience directly, and is filmed live in a studio with a live audience. Apart from the presenter, the other participants of the program, such as the judges and the contestants are all real people.
