Gender- the husband is a power and controlling man, typically like a man from many years ago when the men would go to work and the women would stay home and do the house work.

The wife seems weak and scared she also seems like a typical house wife who stays home and looks after the children.

The man seems like an average worker man who is sneaky and also as if he is unhappy in his own marriage and when he sees the woman and man argue he thinks it gives him chance to go with the wife and he has an affair with her.

Ethnicity- the ethnicity of these characters are English, they're all British.

Social class- the social class of the characters is working class, they're a typical old fashioned family where the husband goes out to work and earns the money.

Camera shots- there are lots of camera shots for example the close up camera shot this is where you are close to the characters face and body but not close enough to see extreme facial features. There is the extreme close up which is where you are so close to the characters face or body and can see features. There is the distant camera shot which can be from shot from another room for example the camera peering through into the next room in which the character would be in. There is also the mid close up where you are close but also a good distance from the character.

Angle- there are many angles for example the angles where the camera follows the characters around and also the different angles when using a camera in certain rooms or multiple cameras. 

Sound- there is intense music in the scene where the burst pipe is building up which creates tension and suspense build up. There is also shouting which creates the drama aspect of the tv show. There are cars honking their horns in the accident scene which creates a lot of drama and tension as it all blends with the sounds. The ambulance horns in the accident scene creates the drama and the most dramatic scene has just occurred.

Location- the location is an average street possibly in London. The props used is a typical house with typical household supplies. Lighting- there is a mixture of lighting for example in some scene there is a lot of light whereas in other scene it is slightly dimmer lighting to create the mood. The costumes the characters wear are average everyday clothes and work clothes.


Reflection of reality- it is a good reflection of reality as there are family arguments like there would be in real life also the children go to school and the dad goes off to work whilst the mum stays at home and does housework they also live a very average everyday life.

Sexuality- the sexuality of the characters is straight. Also the man and the wife are having an affair.

It is marketable as it is realistic and also dramatic and creates suspense so people want to watch it more as it is a reflection of people's real lives, therefore a producer would want to invest in the tv show. 


The influence on society makes women look weak and un faithful and it also makes men look strong and violent and they also look very overpowering.

Disability- the young girl who was bit by the car could have a possible disability.

Editing- the editing is done very well, all the scenes blend very neatly and very well there is no skipping from one scene to another it all connects and creates a smooth scene.


Representation- the tv show is represented well and is very much like daily life for a family with money issues, however there is a lot more drama included in the tv show than there would be in real life to create the entertainment side to it.
