In lesson today we watched two examples of children's TV drama to introduce us to the topic. We watched short clips of the shows Button Moon and Rainbow showing just how effective the simplest of children's programming can be. Underlying messages such as not running away from parents were evident in episodes and allowed young people to learn whilst watching. It was also evident that each of them had very memorable theme tunes, allowing a sense of security and familiarity for the children to enjoy. It is clear that from the amount of the long running programmes that this is a very effective way of producing effective programming with a very low budget. Programmes such as Sesame Street, The Wombles and the Teletubbies are examples of this, where human like creatures often make up the cast, as they are loveable, yet familiar to the children at the same time.
After doing only this small amount of research I think I would defiantly attempt this kind of programming as i believe my crazy sense of humour would fit the bill for how programme would work. I also think that it is such a simple thing to do that it would be very enjoyable to make.
