I would say that the target audience of a serial like Bad Girls is mainly women. Starting form the age of about 17 targeting onwards to an older audience too. Men can also be seen as a potential audience. First because the whole serial itslef is based around a womens prison. So this can be implicit that the target audience is mainly women. Bad Girls comes on every thursday at 9.00pm. Women back from work may watch it and also teenagers. ITV every thursday, viewers that do not have additional packages such as sky and cable can also watch it. Likely size of audience is large, also because it is only on once a week makes it more interesting to watch as it only comes one once in the week. Because we are still quite young we do not get to see or hear about the things that happen in female prisons, therefore makes it more interesting. This programme gets down to things they could happen and also things that are so rare that may happen in prison that we dont even get hear about in the media. And also if one is part of the female target audience then it is good to see how different females think and deal with things. So that we can relate...or perhaps face signs of aLiEnAtiOn.
