Im doing that question too. Its basically trying to say, how are old sitcoms like handocks halfhour or steptoe and sons being forgotten. just write stuff like sitcoms are being taken over by tv reality shows like 'im a celebrity get me out of here' make sure you include lots of examples too, you'll get more marks if you do that.
good luck

I never researched or studied for an exam.
That's why I've been in the same crappy low paid job for 30 years.
So boys and girls - work hard or you'll end up like me!

On a lighter note, finaly planed all my notes for the exam
