drama on the bbc

BBC1-They offer a load of dramas which the public would hopefully enjoy, they do aim for the dramas at the tax payer, license pay and families. They do offer some long running dramas which everyone likes for example Doctor who and causality. The target audience for

BBC 1 is a modern family, when I say modern family I mean the parents would watch the show with the son and daughters, BBC 1 also attract the eyes of the License Payers, They BBC want to provide the best shows which is worth the money that they pay, the BBC separates the money into 6 channels and BBC 1 budget is the biggest compared to the rest of the BBC channels, and this would bring in bigger audience and a much well known cast.

East Enders is one of the selling points of BBC1, Millions of people tune in to see What’s Happening at the Vic and the continued scripts and the additions of new cast, there has been numerous of famous people entering the square such as; Martin Kemp, Phil Daniels, Barbara Windsor, Shane Richie and many more.

BBC2- They offer an alternative to BBC 1 by showing crime dramas and other types of dramas, this is more for the crime lovers and people who what to have a change.

BBC 2 shows in my opinion are either crime and thriller drama’s or spin offs to BBC1 drama’s. One of the favorite shows shown on BBC 2 is the show that helped celebrate Doctor Who’s 50^th anniversary show. “A Adventure In Time And Space”  is a drama about the first doctor and the producer, this was watched by millions and it helped spread the word about how it all started.

The audience for BBC 2 is sort of the same as BBC 1 but with the crime Drama’s being shown it draws in the over 50’s. BBC 2 has a lower budget than BBC 1 due to BBC1 being the mother channel and BBC2 is lower down the chain and don’t draw in well known casts.

BBC 3- They offer new dramas written by unknown writers and help launch shows, he drama on BBC three are all sorts, some are about war, some about life for example our world war was one of the biggest dramas on the channel.

BBC 3             draws young people to watch new dramas with unknown casts, their budget is one of the lowest and there are talks about BBC 3 being switch off to save the BBC money, This has caused an outcry from the young public.

The audience for BBC 3 ranges from 16 year olds to 34 year olds. The main reason why they say the target audience is 16 to 34 is because it draws in new talent and appeal to the young because of the new fresh comedy and drama which most older people will not understand.

I found all this information from the BBC website
