BBC commissioned Bad Education for the channel BBC 3, Tiger aspect produced the series.
The audience of the program is typically 15-19 year olds who are in school so find the program relatable. It appeals to both males and females, as they're both represented and equally stereotyped. the creator of the series is a comedian called Jack Whitehall who is very popular in young adults and teens as he has been parts of 'coming of age' sitcoms e.g. fresh meat which is about university students, therefore would appeal to that age group. Jack tends to meet the immature jokes which are popular for the target audience so are in constant use throughout his sitcoms.
This program is shown after the watershed at 9pm, due to the sexual references and str=g language which also attracts the age range of 15-19 as it can be seen as a form of rebellion listening to the rude language, which is common for the age range. Especially as the program was on Tuesday nights. BBC 3 broadcast the channel as this is viewed as the younger generations channel. BBC is a public service broadcaster, a terrestrial broadcaster that doesn't have advertising so is not payed for by advertisers They use BBC 3 as an experimental channel for comedians to create content.
Friday Night Dinner
Channel 4 commissioned this program, it has two producers; Popper Pictures and Big Talk Productions. Channel 4 is payed for by advertisements. The target audience for this program is older than Bad Education's and id say it was 25-40 seeing as the actors are likely to be better known in this age gap. It is also aimed at Jewish people as the program is set around a tradition of coming together on a Friday night to have dinner. for the younger viewers they are likely to know Simon Bird from the inbetweeners, a popular comedy about a group of teen boys in college. For those who are middle aged they're more likely to know Tasmin Greig from a variety of comedy sitcoms like greenwing. The program was on after the watershed, at 9 pm, because of the use of language. For example the continual joke of the sons calling one another 'pissface'.
