documentary about technology and which episode they’d most like to watch.

This are the results, that the audience
would want to watch the documentary, as
it’s more interesting, “not really talked
about” and “everyday use”

11. Part J – TV channel
I think our documentary series will suit BBC three as the
documentaries shown on BBC three are more entertaining
and feature a wide variety of topics. The topics explored on
BBC three documentaries are diverse and can be really
interesting. Also were likely to attract a younger audience.
Two examples of documentaries shown on BBC
Three are storm chaser: the butterfly and the
tornado which is about a young girl who's
interested in weather and travels to the US to
see some of the most violent storms but she also
suffers from a rare skin condition called
Epidermolysis Bullosa. The second one is called
small teen bigger world which is about the life of
a teenager with restricted growth.

12. Part J - Time
• We’ll show our documentary Thursday at 8 o’clock in the
evening.
•We’ve decided to schedule our
documentary after EastEnders on
a Thursday night because it’s a
popular which most people are
likely to watch.
•If most of our target audience is
watching EastEnders at the time
we can announce after that our
documentary is being shown on
BBC three.

13. Part J – OFCOM regulations
• The watershed in the UK is from 9pm to 5am
• OFCOM states that material shown before the watershed
should be suitable for young viewers.
• We wont use any swearing, explicit images or sexual
references/imagery in order to keep in line with OFCOM
regulations.
