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
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.
