OBSCENITY V TRANGRESSIVE

Obscene: offensive or disgusting by accepted standards of morality and decency or offending against moral principles; repugnant.

Transgressive: moral, social, and artistic boundaries are challenged by the representation of unconventional behavior and the use of experimental forms.
When a television show is being produced, before the episode is aired it has to be regulated by broadcasters like Ofcom. Whenever there is a complaint about a television show, it is sent to Ofcom and investigated to see if there is an actual issue.

This also links to the pleasure of anticipation when John and Kayleigh pull over to talk to the stranger about dogging and then to Ken. The audience felt anticipation when they saw Ken approach the car and when Jonathan pulled over to talk to the stranger.  The audience experiences recognition and familiarity when the two pull over to talk to the stranger because the actor who played him also featured in Phoenix Nights, an older Sitcom than Peter Kay produced.  Familiarity is also developed earlier on becaus
