LR: WWW:Good, independent ideas - Thinking for yourself. EBI: Include more theory- add a paragraph to the audience/ representations. 20/48=E LR: Do two more paragraphs on Audience and representations Representation: The representation of the cast who are all Male and middle class white could relate to theory. They are represented well as they would be able to hold more power in status. For instance, middle- class white hold more power in status, therefore they wouldn’t be able to be stereotypes. In addition, the fact the BBC predominantly employs White-middle-class male could be saying a lot about the morality of this public service provider. Furthermore, the foreign- sounding guy representation as a bit of a daredevil could've been done. When he went Scuba-diving. As he is the outsider of the group He is presented as the daredevil, despite fitting into the working class white demographic. This could be an example of x theory. Overall, I think that the BBC has created a representation that is appropriate for the people it appeals to. This show was shown at 9.00, at the time which is commonly associated with documentaries that appeal to the ABC1 Demographic. I wouldn't see the BBC ever creating a negative representation of the Middle- Class white demographic. Audience: I think that the Audience of this show would be people who are in the ABC1 demographic, who are educated and probably have Young Children. This show was scheduled on a Wednesday. That doesn't clash with any other shows. I think that the BBC only did this show to help them meet their Inform and educate aims. In addition, due to the Technological advances of i's rivals I think it was key for the BBC to produce a high quality show The BBC had to do something to show that they could keep up with the time and match their rivals in terms of quality. In addition, this was one of the BBC first shows to help them successfully target people who have upgraded their Televisions. As they have now opened a multimillion pound building to help them stay with the times. That could add evidence to that view. I think that this was the most important show that helped them evolve to the times.
