Who produced them?
Bad Education- Ben Cavey (BBC)

What audience are they aimed at? Why?
Bad Education- It is aimed at teenagers because it is based in a high school, this would appeal because teenagers will be able to relate to this.
Miranda- Middle aged people/families. Because Miranda is a middle aged woman it would appeal, they could relate to the main character. For families it is a comedy so would be found funny by many people.

Why are they on at that time and on that channel? Link to 'type' of comedy and target audience.
Bad Education-  It is broadcast on the BBC and at 10.00pm on Tuesday's. 
Miranda- It is broadcast on the BBC at 8.30 on Wednesday's.

Are they on after the watershed? Why?
Bad Education- Yes because it includes bad language and would be unsuitable for a young audience, it also includes adult themes.
Miranda- No, it isn't as rude and so can be shown before the watershed.
