British Television Drama - Skins

For this part of my course I have chosen to do Skins from the broadcasters of Channel 4 and E4. Skins is basically a British teen drama which shows the audience the lifestyle and culture of teens who are currently studying at sixth form level. I wouldn't say it shows the positive side of teenage culture but there are moments where you would see glimpses of the teenagers achieving something positive in their college years.
This drama totally explores the lifestyle of teenagers on there worst behaviours including teens having unprotected sex, drug addicts, teenage boys going to jail and often moments of violent behaviours.
This drama in fact shows the audience a lifestyle they probably didn't know of if they hadn't lived in Britain before, the representation of females are mainly of bitchiness and the male representation are more dominant as they have characters which take over some parts of the episodes physically when they are in danger or trouble.
