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.

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.
