6) How do Doctor Who and His Dark Materials help the BBC to meet the BBC's remit to inform, educate and entertain? Answer this question in at least 150 words.

Both Doctor Who and His Dark Materials help the BBC to inform, educate, and entertain in different ways.
Doctor Who is very entertaining because of its exciting adventures, aliens, and time travel. At the same time, it can teach viewers about history and science. Some episodes take place in real historical times, like World War II or Victorian London, which helps people learn about the past. The show also encourages curiosity about science and problem-solving, because the Doctor often uses clever ideas instead of fighting to solve problems.
His Dark Materials is entertaining with its fantasy world and adventure, but it also makes viewers think about important ideas like freedom, authority, and right and wrong. It helps people, especially young viewers, think critically about society and beliefs.
Both shows show how the BBC can create programmes that are fun to watch but also teach viewers new things and make them think.
