6) How do Doctor Who and His Dark Materials help the BBC to meet the BBC's remit to inform, educate and entertain?

Doctor Who is exciting with time travel and action. But it also makes people think. It teaches history, science or important ideas like kindness, equality and standing up for what’s right. His Dark Materials also entertains with fantasy, magic and adventure. But it helps people learn about difficult topics like growing up, making choices and questioning authority. It makes the audience think about what’s right and wrong, and how to be brave. Both shows keep people watching because they’re interesting and enjoyable. But they also have deeper meanings and can help people understand the world better. So, the BBC uses these shows not just to entertain us, but also to teach us and make us think.

This contrasts against the person in a white lab coat and this suggests that he is a professional scientist unlike the boys sitting in a basement playing a board game. The connotations of the white lab coat of the scientist shows that his is looking for perfection and peace which ironical compered to what happens to him Lighting:  In the opening scene, the lighting was turquoise similar to the colour that is often used in hospitals. This shows that the scientist was potentially working on dissecting a animal or being in order to create something but that went wrong and it made the monster that he was running away from.
