13. Comparisons within TV drama
When comparing two TV dramas I have chosen to compare EastEnders set in
London and The only way is Essex which is set in Essex. These two TV dramas
feature very different characters EastEnders being relatable and realistic
characters whereas TOWIE features over pampered princesses who maybe aren’t
as relatable for the audience. These TV dramas are binary opposites as the
characters within the programmes are very different due to regional identity. For
example the characters in Eastenders are working class e.g. Work on stalls and
corner shops whereas characters in the only way is Essex have higher paid jobs
and sometimes own their own business and brands which reflect their highly
rated appearance.
The characters within Eastenders fit the stereotype of East end Londoners as Liam
Butcher has been shown in a gang who committed crime and showed signs of
delinquent behaviour. This supports the stereotype of young people being
criminal. Eastenders additionally supports the good stereotype associated with
Londoners. For instance Mick and Linda Carter appear to be a nice ordinary family
who have taken on the Vic (pub). They have reasonable morals and support their
community.
The majority of the characters in The only way is Essex additionally support
stereotypes associated with Essex for example being spoilt and having an
excessive fake tan. They may not be particularly educated however they do have a
lot of money.
