The Broadcasters' Audience Research
Board (BARB) is the organisation that organises the quantity of the audience
and television ratings in the United Kingdom.
Gogglebox is a British observational documentary which aired on Channel 4 in 2013 featuring British couples, families and friends sitting down every night and watching weekly British television programmes. It aired season 4 in September 2014 and plans to finish in December, it's recent episode plans to air on the 21st November at 9pm. When Gogglebox returned for Season 4, it had reached a viewing count of 2.7 million swiping aside the British television drama Edge of Heaven.

With Gogglebox the viewers aren't required to do much so they are technically just wasting hours of their life away watching documentaries, films and television programmes. In my documentary I will be doing an experiment where I place a camera in a teenager's room (with their permission) and see what they do in their spare time. I feel like Gogglebox is similar towards my documentary topic based on the experiment I will make based on the fact that teenagers also waste time by either staying in their room, watching television or social networking.
I feel that my show would beat Googlebox because mine would relate more to my audience. I believe that teenagers procrastinate more and do not socialise properly anymore due to laptops, mobile phones and tablets so I want to interest my audience and add humour into my documentary like Gogglebox.
Based on my research, I would aim to broadcast my documentary on a Thursday roughly at 9pm because that is when the watershed is off allowing all of my content of my documentary to be shown. Gogglebox is also broadcast at 9pm because it contains strong language and explicit images based on the programmes the viewers are watching.
Educating The East End
Educating the East End is a British documentary television programme broadcast on
Channel 4 at . The eight-episode first series was first broadcast from 4 September 2014. It follows the everyday lives of the staff and students of Frederick Bremer School in East London which is a comprehensive secondary school. The first episode of educating the east end reached a viewing count of 2.2 million and a 101% share.

"It beat Eddie Izzard radar drama Castles in the Sky on BBC2, which had 1.9 million viewers (9.5%) between 9pm and 10.30pm, and Celebrity Big Brother on Channel 5, watched by 1.7 million viewers (7.7%) between 9pm and 10pm." - Quote from The Guardian
In this episode, we see a Year 9 class settling in with their new teacher, Mr Bisfam. Due to the fact that he is a new teacher, the students muck about and try to waste a lot of time in his lesson. One of the girls, Tawny, was the common on-screen student we see mucking about in his lessons by giggling, not doing work and just daydreaming. This is a common form of procrastination in order to stop themselves from doing any work.
I feel like my show would beat Educating The East End because my show would focus more on procrastination and less on a school. My documentary would slightly relate to this programme because I will be setting up two cameras in each Study Room to see what the pupils do when they have either a compulsory and free period.
Based on my research, I would aim to broadcast my documentary on a Wednesday roughly at 9pm because that is when the watershed is off allowing all of my content of my documentary to be shown. Educating the East End is also broadcast at 9pm because it contains strong language based on the students.

World's Strictest Parents
I feel like my show would overrule World's Strictest Parents because my show would focus more on procrastination and less on how students would change their attitudes by living abroad. Although it would be a completely different setting to my documentary, it would seem quite similar based on the students and their ages because I am aiming my target audience at around 16+ and hope to interview students in my year which are between the ages of 17-18.
Based on my research, I would aim to broadcast my documentary on a Friday or Saturday roughly at 9pm because that is when the watershed is off allowing all of my content of my documentary to be shown and it isn't too late.
World's Strictest Parents is a television reality series developed by TwentyTwenty Television with its original origin and broadcast in Britain by the BBC. The success of the program lead to many international versions being created including in the America and Australia.The concept is that two so-called "unruly" teenagers are sent to live abroad with a strict host family for a week in an attempt to change their attitudes and behaviours. During the week they receive an impact letter from their real parents with a list of issues they should try to resolve.
This episode introduces us to Sevda and Andrew, two seventeen year olds that are not in education and do nothing with their lives except party and fight. I feel like this is relevant to my topic because all they do is procrastinate by doing completely nothing so I can relate my topic to their lives.
