BBC TV dramas, Netflix and TV ages

How do the BBC decide what types of TV dramas to show on each TV channel?

BBC One attracts a wide, naturally diverse audience and we need to ensure that we continue to offer a broad range of drama so that there is something for everyone to enjoy. Six or eight part dramas have a place alongside shorter serials, singles and established long-runners like Eastenders and Casualty. 
I think the audience for BBC one is teenagers and above, this has an impact on how they choose dramas because they make the dramas include different things that all ages will understand but also contain programmes that will attract these people of these ages.

• Large and diverse audience
• Broaden their horizons 
• Challenge their viewers

BBC Two has a clear tone. It’s the mainstream channel with an edgy, angled perspective on the world. The success of shows like The Honourable woman and London spy demonstrates that there is a keen audience for complex and demanding tales, though these dramas must still work hard to bring an audience in and find the emotional stories that help access such challenging material.
I think the audience for BBC two are people above 20 years of age, this has an impact on how they choose dramas because like it says above they will make sure their programmes show an angled perspective on the world but also they will make their programmes more educational as they are only focused on those above a certain age.
