CONVENTIONS OF YOUTH DRAMA

Examples of these programmes include: skins, shameless, hollyoaks, misfits, waterloo road, coming of age. trinity, waterloo road, being human, hex, grange hill and doctor who. These programmes often try to be provocative, and portray adults as 'the evil'. They are often very high-fashion and lead the way in relation to music.
