Stacey Dooley Kids selling Drugs Online;

Stacey Dooley is a 30 year old, TV presenter and journalist from Luton. Her first documentary aired on BBC Three in 2009.
The BBC is a public service broadcaster and is funded by an annual television licence fee.

The documentary shows us Stacey Dooley's journey into discovering more about kids selling drugs through online sources. She interviews a selection of people from the suppliers to the dealers finding out a bit about their lifestyle and why and how they do what they do.

From the title to the uses of Snapchat screenshots in the back of some factual screens we can tell it would have an appeal to the youth.
Stacey also presents her information in quite urban areas, dressed in quite casual clothing, making it quite relatable to young people. Adults would also be targeted for this show, maybe those who have teens themselves or would just like to become more knowledgable on the situation. The quick texts that come up on the screen giving us statistics and important information keep us as the audience interested as we would otherwise become disinterested hearing the presenter speak out a whole page of statistics and facts. While the Scottish drug dealers are speaking, we see subtitles for their speech, implying the targeted audience (people from London) would find difficulty in understanding them they speak. However even though the presenter herself, Stacey has a regional accent we don't see subtitles suggesting  The upbeat music at times reflects the fast pace flow of the show. This also relates back to the target audience being for young people.
Repetitive mentions of the reason behind the show also keep the flow of the show and can inform viewers who have tuned into the show halfway through.
The structure of the show allows us to see the journey alongside Stacey, we get to see and hear things for the first time just the way she is. Unscripted shows allows us as the audience to feel the show on a more emotional level. The low down almost unprofessional camera angles also gives it a more personal aspect when she is giving the audience her feedback and opinions on what she's seen.
