Skins
Anyone seen the adverts for this on E4?
Look like it could be great, a new teen drama from the producers of Shameless. I found this;
"This new nine-part comedy drama series from the producers of Shameless follows the lives and loves of a group of raucous 17 year olds.
Starring Nicholas Hoult (About a Boy, Kidulthood), Skins combines the writing talents of Simon Amstell (Popworld), Josie Long (Best newcomer 2006, Edinburgh Fringe), The Dawson brothers (Balls of Steel, Dirty Tricks), Jack Thorne (Shameless), and 20-something new writers, Ben Schiffer, Jamie Brittain and Camilla Blackett, with creator and executive producer Bryan Elsley (The Young Person's Guide to Becoming a Rock Star, 40, The Crow Road).
Each weekly episode is a hilarious mix of sweet, charming, heartbreaking and sometimes shocking stories about a group of trouble-prone friends. There's Tony (Nicholas Hoult), the best looking boy around, everything he touches turns to gold; his beautiful girlfriend - obviously - Michelle (April Pearson) and his unconfident sidekick Sid (Mike Bailey); Cassie (Hannah Murray), the bonkers girl with issues;
Chris (Joe Dempsie), a cheeky party animal; Jal (Larissa Wilson), a sassy, talented musician; Maxxie (Mitch Hewer), a real 'Mr Sensitive' and Anwar (Dev Patel), who coolly manages to combine his faith and still be part of the in-crowd. A sunny, optimistic lot who drop pills, pass exams, have sex, and push boundaries like only teenagers can."
Canny wait!
