Research: 3 Minute Wonder

1. Using the following websites, conduct research into 3 Minute Wonder, e.g.,
  • what is a 3 Minute Wonder?
  • what is the aim / purpose of a 3 Minute Wonder?
  • what sort of topic would you expect to see on a 3 Minute Wonder?

2. Watch at least five 3 Minute Wonder episodes (see list below).


3. Select your three favorite 3 Minute Wonder episodes and briefly explain:
  • why you like them
  • what you have learned from watching them

4. Market research into the documentary format and its current viability (get lots of print screens):
  • Look at the TV listings for two channels (one should be C4) over the course of a period of time (a day to a week - the more you do the more reliable your primary research findings!). What percentage of television output on your chosen channels is documentary?  How many are shown at peak time?
  • Go to the BARB website and find the viewing figures for factual programmes in general and then some specific documentaries.
Here are a selection of 3 Minute Wonder episodes (if you are struggling to find them yourselves):
