Initial thoughts on Doc Martin clip





I thought the clip didnt specifically have a storyline at the part we watched, which indicated it was early on in the episode. The clip contained humour appropriate for day time TV, and seemed to be appropriate for the audience of adults rather than teenagers as it didnt contain parts that were interesting for teenagers, or parts that would lead up to interest teenagers. The characters were all of an older age group (excluding a punk character who you can tell is placed in the show for comedic purposes) which also adds to the thought that the target audience is not teenagers as the age seemed specific  like it wanted to reflect the age of people who should be watching it. From the clip I learned that the series follows a doctor. From previous knowledge I know the genre is drama, however I learnt that the genre is also comedy, this widens the target audience and gains the show more viewers. The setting of the show is very establishing as it seems like an old country town, which is quite dingy.
