It is aimed at teenagers above the age of 15 and older adults. The reason for this is that David Walliams has been a famous face on Britains Got Talent which is very popular, therefore David Walliams is a friendly, familiar face to teenagers and older adults so it would appeal to them. Adding to that it does contain some rude content, resulting it being aimed at teenagers as they would find it funny also the rude puns and jokes wouldn't be suitable for children, however its suitable for adults as well because they would understand the jokes. Moreover, the sketches presented in Walliams and Friends are often exaggerated and contain a silly element to it, which some teenagers and parents would find funny.

Why is it on at that time and on that channel?

It's shown at 9.30pm and on BBC One. The reasoning for it being broadcasted at 9.30pm is that it passes the watershed time, this then allows it to be suitable for the target audience. Teenagers and adults are most likely going to awake at 9.30pm so therefore the programme would be able to gain views. Adding to the that the silly and rude comedy elements to it mean it has to be on at 9.30pm so younger children are not exposed to it. Furthermore, it is shown on BBC One because its a popular channel which everyone knows of, and BBC One often broadcasts comedy TV programmes such as Bad Education.

Is it on after the watershed? Why?

It is as the watershed time is 9pm and Walliams and Friends is shown at 9.30pm. This is because of the comedy it contains in it would be inappropriate for young children and would teach them things that isn't acceptable for their age.
