Skins E4

Een topic over deze geweldige Britse serie!



Skins is a British teen drama from Company Pictures which premiered on E4 on 25 January 2007.

Skins is focused around the lives of a group of 16-18 year old friends who live in Bristol. The drama is meant to represent the daily lives of adolescents. The group includes an attractive and popular boy (Tony); his girlfriend (Michelle); a drug-taking Muslim boy (Anwar); a gay character (Maxxie); a girl with an eating disorder (Cassie); a boy who is questionally desperate to lose his virginity (Sid); an intelligent and privileged girl with family problems (Jal); and a party animal who fancies his psycology teacher (Sid). These characters attend a Sixth form college in Bristol. Each installment has a self-contained theme, but there are several story arcs that span different episodes.

A second series of ten episodes has been commissioned due to its high ratings on E4 (in excess of 2.0 million viewers at peak, one of the biggest Digital TV premieres ever) with filming to begin in June 2007.
The writing team includes the Dawson brothers, Steve, Andrew and Tim (Balls of Steel, Dirty Tricks), Jack Thorne (Shameless) and Josie Long. They also have guest writers for certain episodes, such as Simon Amstell (Popworld, Never Mind The Buzzcocks). Skins is filmed in Bristol; the school scenes are all filmed at John Cabot CTC.

The first series of Skins has now come to an end but Channel 4 have confirmed a re-run on the main channel in the Summer. The complete first series will be available on DVD from 3 September 2007.
