Channel 4 teen drama Skins is being remade for the American audience.
MTV have revealed that they plan to develop the series, using teenagers to write the scripts and casting unknown actors in the roles. The channel said it secured the rights to the show after two years of “intense competition”.
Naomi (Lily Loveless) thinks she has the world worked out, and puts people in their appropriate boxes. There is her hippy mum (Olivia Colman); the adoration from Emily (Kathryn Prescott); Cook’s (Jack O’Connell) insulting misogyny; and her politics teacher, Kieron’s (Ardal O’Hanlon), flattery. She thinks she has them all sussed, and that it’s only her who can see the truth.
Freddie’s (Luke Pasqualino) the black sheep of his family, and seen as a waste of space. His big sister Karen (Klariza Clayton) has ambitions – she’s reached the final of a TV talent show to find a new member of girl group Da Sexxbombz. Freddie despises her lust for celebrity but is emotionally blackmailed into upholding the story she and their Dad, Leo (Simon Day), are spinning about their dead mother, all to look good in front of the cameras, and thereby increase her chances of success. He cringes at the whole thing.
Thomas (Merveille Lukeba) arrives alone in the UK from the Congo. His family are due to join him in a few days, and he has to find somewhere for them to live. He finds an abandoned flat on an estate, but little does he know that local gangster Johnny White (Mackenzie Crook) is his new landlord, and there’s no way Johnny’s going to let him live there for free.

Skinscast number 6! It’s going so quickly… This week we quiz the one and only Nick Hoult about his episode and find out how he prepared to play post-accident Tony. We also chat to Mike Bailey (AKA Sid) and find out about his penchant for chillis, plus the Skins girls get bitchy on the subject of the Skins boys! As well as that we’re back prowling the streets with Dev and Daniel to find out what’s hot and what’s not.
We thought we’d treat all you hungry Skins fans to a special bit of extra footage. Whilst we recorded the Skins boys for the podcast, we sneakily filmed it too, so here in full Technicolour glory is the extended interview. Enjoy!

So this week on Skins, Michelle’s Mum Anna has gone and done it again. Another new husband. And worse Michelle has to move in with them into the poncy penthouse they’re going to live in. And again, even worse. Michelle hates her new big titted emotionally manipulative step sister Scarlett.
Hunky young Skins actor, Nicholas Hoult has revealed that he can’t watch his sex scenes back after they have been filmed.
He told Top of the Pops magazine: “It’s so weird doing all that stuff with a camera there – I’m definitely not going to be watching it back. The worst bit is when they say cut and you’re left there entwined with someone until you get your dressing gown back.”
He insisted that he is nothing like his onscreen character, saying: “I’ve had a girlfriend since school, so I’m not a ladies’ man in real life. I do get recognised a fair bit but I’m not keen on that as it’s quite intrusi Read more & comment »
