Description

  1. Analyse a specific TV format, highlighting the format’s history, international trajectory, key format points, strengths and weaknesses compared to other formats within the same genre, and key cultural variations as it travels (Week 6 & 7)

In dealing with this question, it is useful to contextualise a TV format within a genre (i.e. The Great British Bake Off as a talent competition, The Biggest Loser as a weight loss competition, etc). It is also possible, as some point in your essay, to focus on two local versions of the same format.
