Institution


The BBC is the distributer of 'Little Britain', more specifically BBC Three. Probably the most watched institution in the UK as the Public Service Broadcaster, however BBC Three narrows it down to a younger audience that is mainly viewing for entertainment purposes.

In recent months however, the trend of 'Little Britain' has been hopping from channel to channel, going from BBC Three, to Two, to One, pulling in bigger audiences all the time, possibly as a way of finding out where the best place is for larger audiences as the show gets more and more popular.

Considering the status of the BBC as a PSB, we must ask the question; does the institution influence or shape the production and its content? If this is a factor, can the way the audience thinks be manipulated into a minority view from one institution and their views on the people of Britain?

Here you need to do some research into the fact that the show has been on three, two and, most recently, one.

Look for news articles that discuss this - it's important because you wouldn't normally associate this type of challenging programme on such a mainstream channel as one.
