Class is a difficult topic to bridge, particularly in a nation like the US — a country built on promise, mobility and the American Dream, attainable through hard work and struggle. The idea that one's social status may be determined not by hard work but by circumstances of birth and a few lucky breaks is almost untenable to American viewers. To this end, it is remarkable that Skins was imported over from England at all: class issues inform a lot of the characters' background and perception, which is difficult to translate for American audiences.

The excessive use of profanity, often coded as lower-class speech is highly present in the pilot, when Tony's father goes off at him about the stereo. The US version is censored, and his father is remarkably cooler, channelling anger at the action, but not the child at least, until Tony locks him out of the bathroom.

Back in the UK, the focus is on showing, not telling: Sid hesitates at the door after he is admonished to take off his shoes — the camera reveals mismatched socks with a gaping hole in the toe. The teen's obvious discomfort belies a discomfort familiar to anyone attempting to mute their class background — but the American version doesn't bother with this. Noting that American society has barely even developed the language to discuss class, the Media Education Foundation's illuminating documentary, Class Dismissed: How TV Frames the Working Class , focused on three main ways to measure class in an increasingly fluid society:.

Economic class: income and accumulated wealth. Political class: the power to influence the public and political process.
