A thought just occured to me, If they stuck to the old cast for Series 3 of Skins it would have probably been horrendous. You'd either have a fair few characters not being in it due to the fact everyone went their own way or a horridly underdeveloped structure of having them all in it following their own stories at their own unis which wouldn't have worked sicne it would be hard for them to interact. It just would not work unless they put they set it a few years later with the cast in they're 20's or something but then it wouldn't have been Skins, It would have been like a drama version of 2 packets of crisps...

I think the new cast is a great move and it benefits from the mix of tones from the previous series. I just hope we manage series out of them (Split the last college year into two series? Like how they did a term for a series in the Inbetweeners?).
