Update - 11/10/2014

Today, I finished off my table of all my sources (Click here to view). During this, when looking at the source called "The Sitcom Reader: The American Viewed and Skewed", I found out the pages I wanted information from were not available online. I then went into more research of where I could find a physical copy of this book and I found that libraries such as King's College London have it available. Because this is a little too far for me to go before my 24th of October deadline, I decided to email Woking Library asking them if they could possibly order it in for me (see email below). I also asked if they knew of any other books that could help me in terms of gender and Friends.

Following this, I wanted to see if there was any other way I could find it online and so I searched the name of the book with "PDF" afterwards and a link came up. I downloaded a copy of this book and now my issue is solved.

In terms of self-analysis, I think I used the internet to my advantage here as I overcame the difficulty of the book not being available near me. 

Also today, I wrote my questions for my survey and found clips for the participants to answer questions about (see Survey clips post). I will give these to viewers of Friends on Monday and to make sure they know the TV show, I will ask the if they know of it before giving them the survey.

From my list of tasks I need to complete between now and my deadline, this is what I have completed so far (highlighted in green):

• Complete source table and upload
• Self evaluate work so far
• Choose final two episodes for essay (maybe re evaluate the way I will write my essay to incorporate more evidence from episodes - blog post to come)
• Write questions to ask experts
• Email experts (for example Paul Marchbank, Southampton Solent) and find others
• Either use same questions as experts for viewers of Friends or write new questions
• Ask views of Friends these questions through surveys and interviews
• Analyse findings from this primary research
