Wider context
Political issues:
Many issues have been debated since this show started. Not only on the shows context but the more important case of the representations of our society. Where they make many stereotypes known, they also include sketches that question political issues with sketches involving the 'prime minister', obesety, homosexuality, anti-social behaviour and our school systems along with many more. All of these that involve real problems in Britain are used as material on the show and really sum up these politics into one easy to digest sketch that tells the story in a nutshell.
The text provides the audience with many issues, but the way it deals with moral panics in the show create less of a panic on the audience and let them look through the media speculation they see in newspapers and on the news and show audiences how rediculous it all sounds once the characters sum it up into the panic that it's certainly not. They tend to belittle some of the main concerns in the country like immigration and make a joke out of it to show how we're worrying about some things for no reason, but also to put some understandings of the problems we have to show and get people to expand their knowledge abit to the issues.

Economic contexts??
Some good points in this post.
Include discussion of moral panics and how this text deals with the issues in a different way.
