Compare how and why two programmes were scheduled on different channels.

Bad Education and Friday Night Dinner have different target audiences so they would be aired at different times and on different channels. Bad Education is aired on Tuesdays at 10pm on BBC Three and Friday Night Dinner is aired on Fridays at 9pm on Channel 4. Darren Smith commissioned the programme Friday Night Dinner who decided how much money should of been spent on the show etc. Bad Education was produced by Pippa Brown who has also produced TV series such as 'Psychobitches' and 'Walking and Talking', Friday Night Dinner was produced by Robert Popper who also produced a film: 'Hot Fuzz'. Bad Education is aimed at 16-21 year olds - this is a young adult audience as the humour used in this programme is seen as appropriate for this age range. Within this programme the same immature language is used with racist jokes and the sexualisation of the students, this is something that people in this age range would find funny and enjoy to watch this is because younger people find the situations more relevant and relatable. Friday Night Dinner is aimed at an older audience as not as much rude language and behaviour is used, there are a few Transgressive pleasures used but not as many as Bad Education. The situations used in this programme are something that an older audience would find funny e.g. the dad in the programme having a certain catch phrase. Bad Education is on BBC Three as this channel is targeted at a young adult audience as all programmes featured on this channel is either comedy, e.g. Russell Howards Good News, or shows that are inappropriate for a younger or older audience e.g. rude language/behaviour. Friday Night Dinner is on channel 4 as this channel is targeted at a much older audience as the programmes featured are shows such as Hollyoaks and Goggle-box - younger people do not tend to watch these programmes as they are not relatable. Both programmes are on after the watershed as both these programmes are not appropriate for children due to the rude language that is used throughout both e.g. sexual innuendos, swear words.
