4. (a) compare how and
why two programmes were scheduled on different channels.
The BBC originally commissioned both programmes Miranda on
BBC2 and bad education on BBC three. Miranda was produced by nerys Evans and Emma
strain that each did different series and bad education was produced by pippa
brown. The audience these programmes are aimed at are from teenagers to about
25 as bad education is set in a school and teenagers will relate to the things
that go on but Miranda is also aimed at this age as a lot of the jokes that is
made teenagers would understand and older would relate to her situation as she
is single and her mother is trying to get her a partner. The time that the
programmes are on at relates to the comedy that is in each of the programmes as
a lot of the jokes are rude or racist and mainly based on stereotypes and
children would not understand and be able to watch it due to language. Miranda
was on at 8:30 on a Monday or a Wednesday and bad education as on at 10pm on a Tuesday.
Miranda is not on after the watershed as it is more main stream and is not seen
as rude because it doesn't use transgressive humor. The audience of both
programmes are a mix of males and females as the humor in it is made for both
genders to enjoy.
