Analysis of my final question (initial idea)

When I finally pieced together my first idea I decided to ask my target audience one last question, whether or not they liked the idea. I did this by typing out my initial idea (as shown below) and asking the participants to tally in either the ‘yes’ column or the ‘no’ column depending on whether they liked my idea.

Would you watch a drama with the following narrative?
After reading the following please tally your option in the table below.

Jimmy was born into a Romany Gypsy family and inherited a vibrant and loyal culture. But when his beloved father as tragically murdered in a bare knuckle fight, Jimmy is taken to the heart of Manchester to start a new and exciting life with his mother.

Soon after the young boy’s life is, yet again, turned upside down when his mother meets a common gypsy man with a history of secrets and abuse.

In no time Jimmy is being taught the true but cruel way of traditional Romany Gypsy life leaving his feeling frail and worthless.

Eventually Jimmy is left to make an agonising decision – to stay and protect his mother but keep secrets never to be told or escape the world and journey through the rest of his years in search of somewhere he could truly belong.

However, on his epic journey he sees himself stumble across a variety of communities, cultures and race but meeting new people, as we know, cannot always be a positive thing.  

Will Jimmy regret sacrificing his nomadic life?

YES	NO

My results were as follows:

• Out of the 30 participants I asked only 2 said they didn’t like my idea
• When asked what the reasons were for not liking it they replied with “I do not understand the gypsy lifestyle therefore I don’t think I’d understand the programme”
• Out of the 30 participants I asked a massive 28 said they liked the idea and said it was “creative”

From this it is clear I do not need to adapt my initial idea to suit my target audience as the majority think my idea is good and suitable.
