They do documentaries to inform the views of a certain story or situation – which become very popular because of its originality. They do a lot of real life stories and explaining the reality of things that happen.
- 25. How does Channel 5 compare to other channels? In comparison to other channels, Channel five is very different. I feel as though channel 5 show programmes that wont necessarily cater to a wide audience as their programmes are unique and liked by not many people. Furthermore, their documentaries seem very plain but interesting. They take a story and just inform and educate the audience without trying overly to impress a specific audience.
- 26. Which Channel would I choose to do my Documentary? For my topics would much prefer to show them on channel 5 as I feel they have the best, informative and interesting Documentaries as their not mainstream and expected. They show controversial and spooky-weird documentaries that would wouldn't have seen before and done glam up their documentaries to fit a specific audience, they just show what it is, for how it is.
