I wonder if the shift from class in QAFUK to sexuality in QAFUS as central cultural force hints toward something larger in terms of politics and culture in both nations–and I do wonder what that means for Shameless and its US adaptation…

Good stories come at the right time, after all, as you note. Just as a great ghost story should be saved for the right moment, rather than shared on a public bus at noon on a sunny day, it is interesting to see when adaptations and retellings forget the cultural factors that made a story resonant in the first place.
