Analysing the competition

Obsessive compulsive cleaners:


The name of the show is 'Obsessive compulsive cleaners'. This show is about a group of people
who are obsessed with cleaning. They team up to clean some of Britain's dirtiest homes.This show is on channel 4 and usually broadcasted during the night at 12 am. This clearly indicates that the show is targeted towards older people such as parents or older children. This show is specifically presented at this time as they aware that their target audience will be watching TV during this time as they usually are home after work and school, so they have the time to chill and watch TV.This show has 2,600 views from the past week. This clearly shows how the audience are involved and engage with the show. The show has a high viewing figure which means the audience are engaged and also interact with the show by making sure they watch it.Obsessive compulsive cleaners has similarities to my show as cleaning too much or not cleaning at all can lead to stress. People can become stressed over minor issues such as the house not being cleaned so they become stressed at the amount of workload and cleaning they have to do. For example at 0.52 as audience we can tell the lady is getting frustrated and stressed by the amount of dirt and filth in the house.I would make sure that my show comes on after this show at 12.30 as I feel in order to target my audience I have to show them what stress is about. Having this show on before mine will ensure that the target audience of that show are interested in watching something which can explain why certain people get stressed over certain issues. Obsessive compulsive cleaners will ensure that the audience are aware that some people get stressed when there is a lot of mess and some people get stressed when they are told what to do. At 10.30 her tone of voice indicated that she was annoyed as she getting told what to do.

Confessions of a copper:


The name of this documentary is 'Confessions of a copper'. This show about 'The “confessions” concerned the career stories of eight former police officers, who were impressively candid about some former misdemeanors (always perpetrated by their colleagues)'.This documentary is on channel 4 and this documentary was broadcasted at 10.00 in the evening. This was the time slot for this show as it is not suitable for those under 16 which means the time slot would have to be when adults have access to the TV. This show has similarities to my documentary as the person who is confessing what they have done is under a lot of stress. Usually when a person is under stress they mention that which people may not have expected them to reveal.
My show would beat the viewing figures of this show as I would make sure I have my documentary on after this show at 11.00. This show received 3,942 views over the past week. This clearing indicates that this show is also a popular show however it also means that the audience enaged and entertained by this how will also be interested in my show as it links to stress. They will see the link and decide to also watch my documentary. The reason for this is because I am interested in the audience who are watching this show as it is likely that they will also enjoy my documentary. Having my documentary on straight after will also ensure that I gain more audiences awareness as they are in that mood of crime and confession and stress links well with confessions. Also how stress can be a good thing in certain situations such as confession time.

This show has similarities to my documentary as it is also to do with stress. For example the people who are involved in this show such as the over weight person and under weight person, its obvious that they are stressed related to their weight and health as they have agreed to come and take on a challenge. They are either stressed at this point or throughout the show. For example when they have to switch food plans. At 16.20 the facial expressions shows how the lady is uncomfortable and does not want to eat. However as part of her challenge she must eat. Also at 21.26 its obvious that the lady is getting stressed related to her health and she wants to make a change to her diet and what she eats during the day. At 23.46 its also obvious that the other lady is getting stressed and tensed as she is hungry. She is tensed and wants to eat, not eating is getting her stressed and angry. In order to get the lady more motivated and happy they decide to bring her mum  and daughter as this will help reduce her stress level at 24.26. I will make sure that my show beats this show in terms of viewing figure as I will make sure I have my show on at 18.00. The reason for this is because, this will ensure that the viewers of this show are considering to watch what comes on after. They will see a link between both shows and it will encourage them to watch what comes on after this show. It also means that the show after has a link which is also as engaging as this show.
