cuffs

cuffs 

  • Ashley Walters as PC Ryan Draper – Jake's partner and Tutor Constable. He is a widower and father of a son and daughter.
  • Jacob Ifan as PC Jake Vickers– the son of Chief Superintendent Robert Vickers. He is gay and is struggling as a new recruit.
  • Amanda Abbington as DS Jo Moffat – an investigator who is having an affair with Robert. She is divorced and lives alone with her ageing German Shepherd.
  • Peter Sullivan as Chief Superintendent Robert Vickers– Jake's father. His wife is suffering from cancer.
  •  genre- police procedural
  • created by-julie gearey 
  • It was first aired in 2015  
  •  Brighton's diversity is shown very well in Cuffs. There are many different ethnic groups that appear throughout the episodes for example,the people that own the corner shops and teh customers they handle.
  • Audience's therefore can find an age group or group that they can relate to.
  • The fact that Cuffs was pre watershed  can be seen as quite insensitive however,the way in which they showed the more sensitive subjects is very subtle so there's no need to show it post watershed. The violence isn't explicit and self harm isn't glorified or glamorized.

  2. Grade A-
    You have answered most of the questions although perhaps not quite in the order I asked! You show understanding of the way that different audiences find characters to relate to. You have made a fair start on identifying Brighton's diversity: aim to be specific.
