The handful of viewers who watched the BBC's earliest public television broadcasts in 1936 would have seen little of the diversity we now expect from the medium. The short transmissions, following patterns established by radio and the music hall, offered a variety of light music, dance, comedy turns and conversation - almost all of it transmitted live, as it continued to be well into the 1950s. The genres and formats we know today emerged later.
We have to make our documentary both informative and funny so people will want to watch it and not get bored,
so far we have a few ideas for example, having a diary room like in big brother, following a small group of people rather than a larger group or everyone, however we have to appeal to a wide range of people if we plan on showing it to the whole year and maybe selling DVD's.
