Who commissioned the programme?
Shane Allen and Gregor Sharp (Commissioning Editors from the BBC).
Who produced it?
Sarah Fraser.
What audience is it aimed at? Why?
It's aimed at adults due to the mature nature of the comedy and the later time it's aired.
Why is it on at that time and on that channel? Link to 'type' of comedy and target audience.
It's aired at 21:30 on BBC One. The late time is due to the transgressive humour that wouldn't be appropriate for younger viewers. The time allows the adult target audience to watch the show whilst any younger viewers are already in bed.
Is it on after the watershed? Why?
It's on after this time because it allows the show to include swearing and violence which would work better with the taboo topics they deal with in the comedy. The type of humour that is featured works better with expletives to add to the transgressive style.
Know the audience demographic.
The audience demographic is class B/C1: Middle management, teachers, creative and media people eg. graphic designers etc. / Office supervisors, junior managers, nurses, specialist clerical staff - white collar.
