Bad Education


Bad Education is commissioned by the BBC. It was produced by Tiger Aspect Productions for BBC3.


Bad Education is aimed at 15-20 year olds, both males and females. This is because the programme is based around 15-16 years olds as many of the characters are that age. As it is set in a school it is relatable to the 15-20 age group as they are either in school or have shortly left school. It appeals to both genders as both genders are featured it dose not favour one or the other. Teenagers can relate to the characters as they are ordinary (like themselves) and are in the same situation and have the same mind-set as the teenagers watching.


Bad Education was shown at 10:00 PM on a Tuesday night. The programme was shown at this time as that is the time the target audience is free and likely to be relaxing and watching TV. Bad Education is shown on the BBC as it a British programme, set in a British school featuring British actors and characters. The BBC may also commission Bad Education to help attract a younger audience. Bad Education is shown after the 9PM watershed as it includes sexual references and inappropriate language. Bad Education also portrays school in a slightly more realistic and negative light, that older viewers and the target audience will understand and find funny but younger viewers won't and will be more shocked.








Friday Night Dinner


Friday Night Dinner is commissioned by Channel 4. It was produced by Popper Pictures and Big Talk Productions.
Friday Night Dinner target audience is the Jewish Community as the programme is about Friday night dinner which is part of their culture so it appeals to them a lot. The ages of the target audience can really vary as the age of the characters do. It will appeal to 18-25 year olds, mainly boys, as two of the four main characters are this age making them very relatable. It will also appeal to 40-55 years olds, both males and females, as they will be able to relate to the parents in the programme.
The programme is on a Sunday after the 9 PM watershed.
