GREEK

http://abcfamily.go.com/shows/greek
This is a popular american show about uni life that we can use as inspiration, as the show has smiliar target audience and as it is popular in america, we could westernise it and bring it to biritain, making it popular here, since as far as our reasearch goes britian lacks shows portraying uni life. However, we are still researching.

3 main ideas for soap.

1 - Hairdressers - The soap would take place in a salon. The storylines of the soap would feature all the gossip that the staff and regular clients talk about and hear. Audience will all be females around ages of 18 - 30.


2 - Mechanics - As soaps are normally a female dominated genre, we could challenge this and appeal to a male audience. This soap would take place in a workshop about the daily hassles of the  men that work there. Audience will all be males aged 18 - 30.

3 - College - There isnt many soaps aimed for teenagers, therefore this soap could explore the lives of trouble teenagers. Audience would be mostly female but some males aged to 16-24.
