One-off special of hit drama Skins to be the first programme to be broadcast exclusively on MySpace

To celebrate the launch of Skins series 1 on Channel 4 this August, a ten-minute Skins Special will be broadcast exclusively on MySpace.

This is the first time a TV programme will be filmed exclusively for MySpace. The one-off special will be first broadcast from the Skins MySpace profile at www.myspace.com/e4skins

on Friday 17th August.

What’s more, the Skins MySpace community members – of which there are currently over 55,000 friends – have got the chance to be part of this one-off filming event and get to party with Sid, Chris, Michelle and the rest of the cast afterwards.

Filming is taking place at a secret location in Bristol on 2nd August. After a hard day’s filming, the exclusive party will kick off with a special guest performance from Foals www.myspace.com/foals

Angela Jain, Head of E4 said: “Skins is a huge hit for E4 and has established a young, dedicated community who engage with the series both on the channel and online. This special will give audiences another unique Skins experience and a taste of what to expect from the hotly anticipated second series.”

Dom Cook, Head of Marketing and Content for MySpace UK and Ireland said: “Our partnership with Skins for the first series was phenomenally successful as it gave fans the chance to personally interact with the characters. It’s great to follow this up by offering the community a whole mini-episode as well as the chance to appear in the show!”
