Exam Question

(a) Compare how and why two programmes were scheduled on different channels

The two programmes which I am comparing are Bad Education and Miranda.

BBC produced both of the shows but Miranda was produced by BBC one which means it was paid for by the audience and Bad Education was produced by BBC Two which tells it wasn't a paid for by the audience and a private production company

Miranda is on at 22:00 on BBC Three and is normally on after the watershed because the programme has a lot of adult humour which parents won't like their children watching it so set a time based on the average time which most go bed. Miranda is aimed at 29-39 years of age as the characters in the show are the same and this is because the comedy that they use are would make that specific audience laugh the most. The Demographics for Miranda are from Semi-Skilled workers to Managers/teachers because it's that sort of age.

Bad Education is normally on at 21:00 on BBC Two and is also on after the watershed because of the same reason which Miranda is one at that time. The audience age is similar to characters as the they would use the same language and humour because they are the same age so would here, say and use the same things. The audience demographics of the show are from unemployed/students to Semi-Skilled workers.

The similarities between the two are that they are both produced by the BBC and are both on after the watershed.
