What audience are they aimed at? Why?
Bad Education- It is aimed at teenagers as it is based in a high school environment. Also bad education's characters are all teenagers, this is the age which the show is aimed at. It wouldn't be aimed at adults as they will not find it as funny.
Miranda- It is aimed at middle aged people as the characters are all around middle aged or older. It is aimed at middle aged people as it found funny by that particular age group, where as teenagers might not find the show as funny.




Why are they on at that time and on that channel? Link to 'type' of comedy and target audience.
Bad Education- It is on 10pm on BBC Three. It is on at this time as it is after the watershed time of 9pm. It is on this channel as the target audience tends to watch BBC Three more than they watch BBC 1. Another reason why it is shown on BBC Three is because of the humour. The kind of humour shown on bad education is quite similar to other shows shown on BBC three.
Miranda- It is shown at 8:30pm on a Wednesday Night. It is Broadcasted on BBC 1 as the humour is different to bad education. The target audience tend to watch BBC 1 more often. This is why it is shown on this channel. This is shown at 8:30pm because it doesn't contain a lot of bad language.

Are they on after the watershed? Why?
Bad Education- It is on after watershed as it contains a lot of bad language. It contains a lot of transgressive pleasures, so it would not be a good idea to let children watch this programme.
Miranda- It is on before the watershed time as the humour does not contain a lot of bad language and is not as rude as Bad Education. It doesn't need to be on after nine because children wouldn't understand most of the jokes anyway.
Audience Demographic
Miranda- Miranda's Target audience is aimed for Middle aged women between 29-39. There occupation would be just normal every day jobs.
Bad Education- Bad Education's Target audience is aimed at teenagers between 15-19. Either boys or girls who are still at school or uni tend to fit in the target audience.
