Discuss in detail how one programme offers audience pleasures. Give examples from the programme. [15]

Bad Education is a TV comedy on BBC Three produced by Pippa Brown  shown at 22:00pm on a weekday, the target audience is from 16-20 year old both male and females, i say this because the show is based around these ages as the characters are students, also at these ages you are able to understand the adult humor. Also the show is shown on the watershed, therefor the target audience is most likely staying awake after this time anyway.

Audience Pleasures
Narrative resolution is one pleasure that the audience likes, this is that the show will always start and end in the same settings, eg the school play ground for Bad education; the reason why they enjoy this is because they know roughly what will happen. Also the identity of the characters is a pleasure because the audience will make a connection with that character and understand his/her problems, for Bad Education, Mr wickers is the character that every loves, because of the way he acts and is most likely like the audience them selves.   Another thing that entertains the audience is the verbal language and transgression pleasures that the characters use, e.g when they talk about poo and refer to sexual incidents. Aswell as that the familiarity is a pleasure because the audience always knows that something will always go wrong in the episode, for example, Mr Wickers always acts like a child and ends up doing something immature and childish.

In Bad education gives the audience pleasure in many different ways, one of this is the, narrative resolution, this is when every episode starts of the same in the same location and then ends in that same location. E.g the school when looking at this program. Also the verbal communication used can create  humor for the audience, for example the different language they use, which could be swear words or new words that teenagers are using, e.g "milf".
