Doctor Who is aimed at a family audience. It has humour and
story lines that will grab the interest of both adults and children. Although most
of the story lines don’t represent the ‘real’ world (aliens/monsters) it does
have relations with everyday life, the doctor and companions interact with the
real world through normal/average activates; like getting a coffee, hanging
with friends and family. In the current series of doctor who the companion
works in a school as a teacher, interacting with the students in a normal
manner, it is only with the doctor when her life gets flipped upside down.
Doctor who is a thriller, sci-fi drama. It often touches on the reality of the ‘real’
world.
So far so good Amy. You could have developed your description of Doctor Who, perhaps give more examples of typical storylines and consider the audience in a bit more detail. Families is right but what makes it work for everyone?
