Skins (E4)

[bignige]

Yup, still here. It's similar to 'as if' & 'The Secret life of Us' - i.e. it annoys me, but I still enjoy watching it and always want a beer afterwards!!

[Swallow]

I'm still with it, there's the occasional very funny part, and I like that the emotion overall has been rather restrained and not over the top. Anyone know how long it's scheduled to run for?

[bignige]

I didn't realise Simon Amstell (Pop World/Buzcocks) helped write this...

[Swallow]

I only noticed that yesterday, too.

I didn't think this would be any good, but the last couple of episodes have been quite enjoyable.

Only thing bothering me is the actor playing Tony, regardless of the fact his character is the most annoying **** in the world, the guy couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag. How in the hell did he become the main character for this? His delivery of lines is just painful to watch.

[VR46]

Guess he got the part purely on his looks.

Last nights wasn't bad, viagra one is still the best so far imo.

I've been thinking the exact same thing. He's a pretty poor actor and the smugness about him makes him instantly dislikable. Most of the other characters seem decent enough. Chris is my favourite.

Watched last episode of series one last night, very good, yet strange in the way episode eight really looked like the final one of the series the way it was tidying up storylines etc.

Glad a second season has been commissioned and should hit our screens later this year. We could do with a bit more Harry Enfied also...

What are you taking me for ? some kind of James Blunt ?

Yeah that last episode was cracking

->Open Spoiler<-

it was about time Sid and Cassie got...like...oh wow....together! And the song at the end was class too

This was a quality programme and I look forward to seeing series 2. Holyoaks could only dream of being this good

Series Two starts on E4 next Monday, in the meantime, you can pick up first series on DVD for &#163;6.99 delivered from HMV (online - don't know about in store)

Yay! roll on Monday! I like the previews as they don't give that much away, although I have a feeling we'll see a bit more of Maxxie in this series.

[Roddie]

Did anyone watch this then? I had been quite excited about this coming back on and set it to record on the Sky+, just watched it this afternoon

->Open Spoiler<-

and I can't believe they brought back that waste of space Tony. I thought the whole point of the series 1 finale was that he died. Nicholas Holt's attempts to act traumatised were even worse than his previous 'I-don't-give-a-****' character. Seemed like this was meant to be a Maxxie episode, but I ended up fast-forwarding the majority of the programme when Tony managed to show up in about every single scene.

[VR46]

Heh, like a wally I forgot all about it, it must be on Virgin's "Catch Up TV". So will watch it tonight hopefully.

[Roddie]

Don't know if it's the same again for this series, but E4 used to show the episodes from the first series twice a week.

[Keith]

Just checked and it is indeed on Catch Up TV.

Was a very strange episode, I thought.
