Based on the research I have conducted on other Radio 4 comedies, I have informed my production in the following ways:
The characters are young adults, which fits in with the 16-25 year old age range the brief requires as the prospective audience.
Humour is derived from a sense of fragility. The amateur nature of the young people's endeavours is what leads to the humour.
A sense of backstory and camaraderie between the cast that's organically delivered.
The house style for the intro sequence is followed.
There is a recurring joke that is made multiple references to, either explicitly in dialogue or through environmental storytelling.
Ultimately however I want to be sympathetic to the young people being portrayed. That could actually work in attracting that age range to the station as opposed to simply making them the punchline to a cruel joke.
