This programme is successful in the sense that it creates pleasure . It is the motivation of audiences that is reflected in the uses and gratification theory. The audience response to the programme is shocking as the dominant ideology of children's behaviour is challenged. Its entertaining to have a narrative providing a mentality clash of the teenagers compared to the parents, a trangressive programme. Medium and close up camera shots are used to create suspense, at dramatic moments, such as the argument at the bottom of the stairs the boy and 'father' had. It's communicating the fear with the audience. Crane shot is used to give an wide image of the house, emphasising the domestic issue if it, as the street outside appears peaceful. The parents are from a black heritage therefore, attracting that demographic to watch the show, as they may relate.
