CAR SHARE & CELEBRITY JUICE

ITV

ITV is a commercial TV network in the United Kingdom. Launched in 1955 as Independent Television under the auspices of the Independent Television Authority (ITA, then after the Sound Broadcasting Act 1972, Independent Broadcasting Authority, now Ofcom) to provide competition to the long established BBC,^[1] it is also the oldest commercial network in the UK. Since the passing of the Broadcasting Act 1990 its legal name has been Channel 3, to distinguish it from the other analogue channels at the time, namely BBC 1, BBC 2 and Channel 4. In part, the number 3 was assigned as television sets would usually be tuned so that the regional ITV station would be on the third button, with the other stations being allocated to the number within their name.

ITV is a network of television channels that operate regional television services as well as sharing programmes between each other to be displayed on the entire network. In recent years, several of these companies have merged so currently the fifteen franchises are in the hands of two companies.

INSTITUTION AND REGULATION

The ‘watershed’ is a well understood concept and audiences are concerned if they
believe programme content is ‘pushing the boundaries’ of what is generally accepted
close to the watershed. Audience research shows strong support and recognition for
the watershed on all television channels. The watershed plays a crucial role for
parents and carers with children aged 5 to 8 and trust in pre-watershed programming
is essential, particularly leading up to 1930. It is also important that the content of pre
watershed trails is appropriate for the time of broadcast.

CAR SHARE - AUDIENCE PLEASURES

Peter Kay has been in the comedy entertainment industry for a long time which means he is easily recognisable and subsequently more people will watch the show. Throughout each episode there are many jokes but there is most often one that snowballs through the episode, which is most often the basis for that particular episode. For example in episode two it is the confusion with the meaning of ' dogging' .We as the audience anticipate how a joke may end such as the same joke in episode 2. 
Another audience pleasure is the relatable situations the characters are often put through. For example in episode one the sat nav breaks , which may have happened to members of the audience and there for allows them to connect with the characters. 
Throughout each episode a fictional radio called 'forever FM' is played ,through diegetic sound, which often plays recognisable songs which the audience can sing along to and relate to the characters who are also singing along. another audience pleasure is the parody of recognisable music videos; in episode two there is a parody video of the song  'true colours'. The diegetic sound also helps the narrative to follow along as it sets the mood of the audience which even though the series is a sit com the music sets a serious and sad tone for the reader  in the last episode of the series .
There is a sense of familiarity through out the episodes as they are all set in the same place and only happen in that one place which allows the audience to recognise the place. There is only one exception to this as in the last episode there is a small scene in a local restaurant to mark the end of the series.
