Cooool!
I do love Skins.
Skins Page 7
I've never watched it!
Ah. Could be a good thing.
It's like the TV version of Heat magazine.
Or something.
I like to think it's a good thing...until conversations open up about it at lunch.
Oh, my god, I'm in a strange kind of love with Skins! And of course, the things I love have to have good homes:

I just got both series, and only have five episodes to go...I have to admit, I was expecting a UK 90210 or OC, but was pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be closer to The Street.

You really are quite scarily talented at DVD design.
Do you actually print these sleeves out to house your DVDs Anna?, or are they just purely theoretical?
I think, what with being in the US and the programmes not even being shown there, let alone released on DVD, she prints them out and actually uses them. Bloody good they are! 
Cheers, guys!
And yes, I actually do make them for my own personal use. Occasionally, XviDs appear mysteriously in my Toast software but (sigh) no packaging is included. So, necessity, mum, invention, y'know?
This one, truth be told, was really easy though. There's quite a bit of good hi-rez source imagery around for Skins, and it was just a matter of dropping it in a template, essentially.
But again, thanks for the nice comments!
Apparently it was the fourth most Tweeted show last week. Has anyone been watching it?
Haven't watched it since 2008. I don't remember a thing about it, but according to this thread I loved the first series or two.
I've only seen a few clips and can't decide what social classes they represent. The radicalism is a magic trick. It is an advert for "we are all in this together".
I see that the main writer studied where I did. He is older. The place was nothing like the programme. He admits that his childhood in Scotland was even quieter.
Hence, he makes great play of the fact that his son is a co-writer. Son was even permitted by Dad to write his own episode. Wow. What a great geezer.
Never precisely working class myself, all my family were - and from just off the Old Kent Road. I know that area well. What worries me most is not the behaviour depicted but that ordinary kids adopt the styles.
With pubs on decline, football prices ridiculous and mortgages a mirage, reality is often tough. It would be nice if the ruling empires at least allowed the true cultures of all teenagers to live and breathe unconquered.
I only ever watched the first episode of this. Bored me.
