Bad Education
Day: Tuesday
Time: 10:00pm
Channel: BBC3
Commissioned: commissioning editor of the BBC
Producer: Ben Cavey and Pippa Brown
Tiger Aspect Productions
What audience are they aimed at and why: teenagers and young
adults (aged 16-22) because it includes many transgressive jokes that are aimed
directly at a young audience with the context they are in (a school). Also Jack
Whitehall is a popular comedian with the younger generation so he’s in the
programme to attract the target audience.
Are they on after the water shed? Bad Education is on after
the watershed because it contains unsuitable entertainment for young viewers
with sexual references and swear words, so it’s on after the watershed to
prevent young children from watching it.
What is the audience demographic? The demographic is E mainly because this category includes students and they are the target audience of Bad Education.
Miranda
Day: Wednesday
Time: 8:30pm
Channel: BBC1
Commissioned: commissioning editor of the BBC
Producer: Nerys Evans (series 1) Emma Strain (series 2–3)
What audience
are they aimed at and why: they are aimed at adults (aged 28-40) and families because
Miranda is about a woman and her experiences with adult life, mainly about relationships,
and how she copes. This means the middle ages audience can relate to her
experiences and enjoy it more. Also Miranda is aired before the watershed so it
doesn't contain much transgressive humour and is suitable for families.
What is the audience demographic? The demographic is C1 and B because these categories are based on middle aged and have a well paying job but aren't at the top of the profession, so this is the same as Miranda.
