Article Abstract:
Satellite and cable television broadcasters have expanded the market for children's television programmes, with TCC, Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network solely dedicated to such programming. The Disney Channel UK is also due to be introduced in October 1995, offering documentaries, films, live action and animated children's programmes, with the other broadcasters subsequently expecting to lose their market share. Nickelodeon claims to have 2 million viewers per week, mainly aged 8- to 12-years-old. Cartoon network claims 36% of its viewers are aged 18- to 34-years-old.

Article Abstract:
It took researchers at LWT six months to develop the series 'Red Handed,' which is to be broadcast by ITV from 19 Sep 1998 in six 30-minute episodes. This series began as a pilot made by US-based producer Adam Shapiro for MTV. The researchers had to devise 18 'soft' sins to expose, and then had to find people willing to make a friend or family member a target. There were a number of technical and psychological challenges to overcome when setting up the situations in which the sins were exposed.

Article Abstract:
Brook Associates has produced 'The Dynasty,' a four-part documentary series which traces the history of the Nehru-Gandhi family empire, for BBC2. The series was conceived by Philip Whitehead, who was executive producer. It proved very difficult to undertake effective interviews with Indian politicians who knew the family, with politicians being particularly concerned to remain neutral about India's political history. However, it proved very easy to gain BBC2's commitment to the series.
