Time On TV We have decided to show our documentary at 8:00 PM - This is because our documentary will not consist of any inappropriate footage or language. - - It is suitable for the whole family to watch. - - People usually finally finish their work and sit down to watch television around this time. - - 7:00 PM is too early and the number of viewers wont be very high. - - 9:00 PM is a popular spot filled up by the programmes that are regularly watched by viewers. - - Therefore viewers will be less likely to miss their shows for our documentary.
