REPRESENTATIONS OF AGE IN
BRITISH AND AMERICAN TV
DRAMA’S
BOBBY BEALE
In the TV soap drama Eastenders, Bobby
Beale is a 11 year old boy. Bobby wears
dorky clothes that make him look innocent
however his character is actually quite
spiteful and mischievous. This represents
11 years old as being nasty when that
isn’t always the case. His clothes
represents him as being geeky which sets
the image that 11 year olds are nerdy.
In this photo we can see Bobby
wearing a school uniform this
represents him as vulnerable and
makes the audience realise that he
is only young. This could then
make the audience like Bobby.
CHARLIE- HOLLYOAKS
In this photo Charlie appears to be about
eight or nine. We can see in this photo that
he is clearly upset, shown through the tears.
This represents young children as emotional,
we don’t know why he is upset but we can
assume its over something petty. This
represent young children as irrational and
over dramatic.
Here we can see Charlie having fun
and smiling. This represents young
people as happy and playful.
SIMON- CORONATION STREET
In this picture Simon appears to be about ten or
eleven. We can se that in this picture Simon is
shouting, this represents young children as moody
and angry which we know isn’t always the case.
In this picture we can see simon looking unhappy
about something, we can see this though the way he
has his arms crossed. He looks very moody about
something, we don’t know what has made him like
this but it could be that he hasn’t got his own way.
This is a common stereotype amongst ten year olds
which is how old Simon looks in this picture.
