Doctor Who- References from 'Teaching TV Drama' By Jeremy Points
An example of a children's TV drama is Doctor Who , 'the drama was targeted at a Saturday family entertainment audience- the drama originally developed by Sidney Newman in 1963 as an educational programme where issues could be raised through the doctors time travelling has always been closely associated with the BBC's public service brief.' This informs me that through children's TV drama issues can be highlighted. Furthermore, within characters there is a 'polarisation of heroic and evil' this would in effect educate young children within right and wrong- therefore aiding their development. In addition, narratives within Doctor Who 'frighten and suprise you' and 'make you think' this fits in with further knowledge that children's TV drama is made to educated and entertain. 'Young adult fans are not taking in media student's terms- of the impact of narrative construction, representation and a postmodern viewing position, but their responses suggest how audiences subconsciously assimilate points of view.'
