Resaearch for Scheduling Question (4a)





Bad Education:


Date scheduled: Tuesday 10:00pm
Channel: BBC3
Commissions: Commissioning editor of the BBC
Producer: Ben Cavey and Pippa Brown Tiger Aspect productions
Target audience: The humour contained in the programme and the transgressive jokes are aimed at the younger audience (aged 16-20) in the aspect that they are in a school and also the fact that Jack Whitehall is a popular comedian amongst the younger generation which makes it more relatable for the audience. It is shown  after the watershed which mean that the content is not suitable for younger viewers as it contains sexual references and inappropriate language and behaviour. As it is shown on the public service broadcaster it has to have appropriate content before the watershed which is 9:00pm. It is shown on the BBC because to attract he younger audience and the fact that it is a terrestrial and because of this there will be no adverts in between and you will not have to worry about the amount of people that watch it as it is not paid for the adverts.







Friday Night Dinner:

Date scheduled: Sunday
Channel: Channel 4
Commissions: Channel 4
Producer: Popper Pictures and Big Talk Productions
Target Audience: The programme would be aimed at 18-25 year old boys in particular because the main characters are male and of that age and so everyone within that age boundary can relate to the scenes that the characters go through to make it humorous. The characters that play the boys have made an appearance in the hit film The Inbetweeners and so the show will be related to their target audience and will be more popular as all of the cast have been recognised from former films/sitcoms. In addition it is also aimed at the Jewish community and their interpretation of a typical Jewish Family dinner however  something always goes wrong which is where the comedic side comes in.


Channel 4 is a commercial channel and so it gathers their funding by selling time slots and commercials. This is also the reasons why the programmes cannot be so controversial such
 as Bad Education.
