Skins Party

Skins is the Radio Times choice this week:

RT Choice (Jack Seale, 25 February 2008)
Being brilliant every week isn’t enough for Skins - in this second series it’s brilliant in a completely different way every week. This episode takes place almost entirely in Sid’s house, as his meek father (Peter Capaldi) faces a visit from his own far-from-meek dad.

For half an hour it’s a brittle, kitchen-sink comedy about the Sisyphean task of living up to parental expectations, leavened by Skins’ trademark blasts of cartoony fun. But the killer scene comes later when Sid and his estranged best friend Tony reconcile, wordlessly, during a night out at a gig - a deftly orchestrated emotional sucker punch. If you’re avoiding this show because you assume it’s just a smutty romp for teens, reconsider.
