Skins is a British program based on youths in an area of Bristol. It was written by a father and son who based it on events that had actually gone on in the area. The show mainly focuses on your typical stereotypes of teenagers as being disruptive rude and always getting into trouble with the law or school. The Mise En Scene was in less developed run down areas of the city so as the viewer we get a sense of a lack of wealth in an area however some areas like the college and some of the richer students houses show the other side of that society and so it represents the characters as being quite ungrateful as teenagers are in your stereotypical society. However some of the characters seem to escape this judgement. However each character seems to escape this typical view in each episode as we get to know them individually. The show is aimed at an audience of around 16+ of years.
Bad education:
Bad education is also based on stereotypes which is what makes it funny. It is much more of a comedy than Skins and aimed at a younger audience as it is more immature. Again all together we look at all the characters and see them as quite disruptive in school as we think however similar to skins as we get to know all the characters we get to like them and how they all represent different things for example the typical bully and nerd. However some characters could be seen as represented as different more complicated matters like the Gay character could be seen as represented how free you are to come out these days compared to 20yrs ago as back then being gay was seen as quite a bad thing and It wouldn't be seen in a school that often at that time either.
