4. (b) Discuss in detail how one programme (Bad Education) offers audience pleasures. Give examples from the programme. [15 marks]
Bad Education is a sitcom that is on BBC Three. It has stereotypes in and stuff. There is a character known as Alfie Wickers who is the lovable loser as he is the needy teacher and he acts like a child who is bullied by the pupil Frank Grayson.
In the comedy there is verbal comedy which is racist which makes it better for BBC because they have not got to have sponsors for the programme as it is a channel with no adverts which means they can do what they want really.
The programme doesn't appeal to a younger audience because it is on after the watershed so it will only appeal to an audience at the same age as the demographic for BBC 3 which is 16 to 34 years of age.
