- As a group we
didn't really expect Eastenders to be broadcasted in Africa and
India,
as they don’t necessarily have a great english culture. We also didn’
t
expect it to be shown in so many countries as we didn't think it
would
be as popular in that many countries. We also feel that Eastenders is
shown to a wide variety of different cultures which was unexpected.
Why do you think its shown in other countries?
We think its shown in
other countries to make it more popular and to take in more profits
for
the soap which will be beneficial to the soap its self. This profit
can
go towards actors, equipment, advertising and overall quality. Also
they want to grow a wider fan base for the soap as it will add to
their
viewings. Furthermore other countries can watch and relate to our
culture and how their cultures are shown within the soap. It also
has
to succeed the audience needs by identifying and representing not
only
the british culture but other ethnic cultures and countries.
A wide
range of different ages, cultures and genders watch Eastenders as the
soap represents all of the above. Eastenders do this to fill the
audience needs and to make it relatable to everyone. There are also
websites and groups that have ‘Eastenders meet-up groups’ which is a
way fans ‘socialize’ and gossip about the ‘goings on’ in the soaps.
Audiences watch Eastenders for entertainment and to also make the
soap
stories and plots relatable to the viewers, which make the loyal and
daily viewers to the soap. Another reason why people watch the soap
is
not only for entertainment sake but for socializing, for example it
helps
