Hit Teen Drama Triumphs In Europe



Teen drama Skins was among a string of British-made programmes to pick up a prestigious Rose d'Or award in Lucerne, Switzerland.

The series, shown on Channel 4 and E4, is set in Bristol and follows the lives of a group teenagers.

One of its stars is Nicholas Hoult, who was Marcus in the Hugh Grant romantic comedy About A Boy and is Tony in Skins.

Skins won the best drama award at Europe's oldest international television entertainment festival, beating Billie Piper's Secret Diary of a Call Girl, from ITV2, and BBC One's Jekyll.

Other winners included Channel 4 sitcom The IT Crowd, BBC Two comedy The Peter Serafinowicz Show, ballet documentary Strictly Bolshoi and the satirical series Kombat Opera Presents.

The Street II, which follows the lives of residents of one street in Manchester, also received a special mention in the drama category.

Festival director Urban Frye said: "This year's programmes were of exceptional quality, which presented our international jurors with a challenging task.

"However, the calibre of entries proves not only that the Rose d'Or is back at the heart of European creativity, but also that it is possible to create programmes with cross-cultural and cross-generational appeal."

This year's festival, the 48th, attracted a record 402 entries from 34 countries.

Well done Skins they deserve something!!!

A billboard poster for Skins, which featured Michelle in her underwear and other characters "in various stages of undress", was indecent and should not have been used, advertising regulators have decided.

In the advert, Michelle, the character played by April Pearson in the teen drama, is sitting on the edge of a bed with dishevelled hair and smudged eye make-up. Sid (Mike Bailey) is in the background, sitting up in the bed naked, with a pillow over his crotch.

Several other couples are embracing at Michelle's feet, also naked or in their underwear.

About ten people complained to the Advertising Standards Agency about the poster - most saying it was offensive and unsuitable to be seen by children. Others said it could be seen as condoning underage sex.

Channel 4 defended the posters saying that Skins "clearly depicted the consequences of hedonistic and irresponsible behaviour". The relationship between Michelle and Sid was "ultimately empty", said the broadcaster, while it took care not to place the adverts near schools. It added that all the characters involved were over 18.

Though it rejected the complaints about underage sex, the ASA said the poster breached its code. "We considered that the image, showing characters from the programme embracing in varying states of undress, implied that an orgy was taking place," said the regulator in a statement today.

"We concluded that the poster could cause serious or widespread offence to those who saw it and was unsuitable to be used in a medium where it could be seen by children."

The ASA rejected complaints about another poster that showed character Tony (Nicholas Hoult) lying under the water in a bath, leaving it "unclear whether he was dead or alive". Some were concerned the image was offensive, distressing and could be copied by children.

oops.

Little-known This Is England actor Jack O'Connell has become the first casting made public for Skins series three.

All the show's characters are being dropped in favour of a new batch, with the exception of Tony's sister Effy.

O'Connell, who played Pukey in the Shane Meadows film, will play a "lairy" character named Cook, according to the Daily Mirror.

"The rest of the cast are unknowns," a source told the paper. "Some of the scenes are hilarious - the new batch will start as well as the old ones left off."

Mitch Hewer is back on our screens again in the ITV1 musical drama "Britannia High"!

Have a look at the Press Release:

[Christina]

Jack O'Connell and Merveille Lukeba have been cast as Cook and Thomas on the third series of Skins. Jack previous credits include This is England and Waterloo Road and Merveille include The Bill and Ezra.

Filming is currently underway for the 3rd Series.

AND..



(His the one in the black jacket, anyone else see a little resemblance to Chris?)


Skins is returning with a new gang of teens who'll be getting up to all sorts of new naughtiness.

And one of the new faces is young actor Jack O'Connell.

You might recognise him as "Pukey" from the hit Brit flick This Is England, in which he played a boozing, pot-smoking skinhead. So he should feel right at home as lairy Cook in E4's Skins 2.

My spy reveals: "The rest of the cast are unknowns. Some of the scenes are hilarious - the new batch will start as well as the old ones left off."

But there will be one familiar face from the first version of Skins, which ran for two series - Effy
