Whilst researching Channel 4 i came across their ethos and their aims. "Channel 4 is a unique institution that does remarkable things, a fact recognised by the wider industry both nationally and on the international stage. To champion alternative voices and fresh perspectives " This supports my idea of "My Big Fat Greek Family" idea. It seems that channel 4 encourage their audiences to get involved and to show viewers diverse cultures, making them think and compare the differences to how they live their lives.
Channel 4 say that they want "to challenge people to see the world differently," my documentary could live up to this, in terms of showing people a culture that is different to theirs.
Channel 4 takes pride in the fact that it is well known for it's "diverse programming." My documentary would suit this institution as it will offer information about a topic that is thought-provoking and interesting, as well as extending people's knowledge on what they already know about Greek culture.
The Communication Act of 2003 states that channel 4 "includes programmes of an educational nature and other programmes of educative value," My Big Fat Greek family supports this in the way that it is informative, educating people about a different culture, but at the same time will attempt to "demonstrates innovation, experiment and creativity," which appeals to the younger channel 4 viewer.
