22. What channel would it be put on and why?
• We would choose channel 4 because
their documentaries are usually aimed
at an audience who are aged 16+
• Also their documentaries are mostly
participatory and informative and
that’s what our one is
23. What time would it be on and why?
• The time we would be showing it at would be
9 o’clock as there would be explicit content
and a subject that may be too much for
people aged under 16
• Also children who come back from school
would normally watch from 4-7 so they would
be asleep for when this documentary would
be showing.
