Children’s TV opening
The first thing I aim to do is set out to identify my target market, when I am giving the description of children it is aimed to a target range of still 0-18, this of course makes the market harder to target for example over the age of 16- a child is more likely to watch adult TV dramas as well.

Of course what is a child?
A child (plural: children) is a human being between the stages of birth and puberty. The legal definition of "child" generally refers to a minor, otherwise known as a person younger than the age of majority. "Child" may also describe a relationship with a parent or authority figure, or signify group membership in a clan, tribe, or religion; it can also signify being strongly affected by a specific time, place, or circumstance, as in "a child of nature" or "a child of the Sixties."[1]

What is a Child's TV drama?

Here is a list of the top 100 TV shows. The Simpsons and Doctor who are in this however the creators of this programmes don’t count these as real.because of this the top order was redone by E4 in 2005.Addition changes were made to suit these changes however this does concept the changes of the new shows by increasing the top order of more children’s TV dramas e.g. mi high and Tracey beaker. Grange Hill got into the top 5 which is the highest children's TV drama. The fast that the simpons and Doctor who where classed in these show the creators got the wrong Target market or creates a range of children who watch older programmers.

By looking at these different types of opening it is quite clear to see how different tv drams get into top, for a younger audience it is pretty young this point is proven with the use off Children’s TV programmers being more cartoon based with non-human characters.
