As we are largely basing our soap around the 'young money' category, with characters who's lives are filled with wealth and riches we investigated the audience statistics for programmes that have a similar concept, for example "90210" and "Gossip Girl" although these are not soap operas they adopt a similar idealization as the soap opera "Façade Manor" that we are creating. E4 is a spin off channel of Channel 4 and the 2 channels are more teenage focused than other mainstream television channels such as the BBC and ITV.
On channel E4 90210 has the second highest rating of all programmes, with 623,000 viewers in 2011.
However channels such as the BBC which are predominantly targeted towards a more adult audience and run soap operas statistics show that programmes such as "EastEnders" which is an episodic on going drama are by far the highest rating, in fact Eastenders currently ranks as one of the most watched shows in the UK.
