The document analyzes the responses to a questionnaire about potatoes and watching documentaries. Most respondents were aged 16-20, watched TV between 6-7pm, ate potatoes weekly, and tuned into BBC1 most often. Roast potatoes were the favorite potato type. Respondents expressed interest in a potato documentary and knowing more about potato history, nutrition, and other cultures' uses of potatoes. Most would watch on Netflix or BBC1 and preferred a young female voiceover. The analysis will help determine topics, air time, and format for a new potato documentary that appeals to the target audience.
