Skins Series 1 coming to Channel 4 on the 21st August
After a hugely successful premier run on E4, SKINS comes to Channel 4 in August for a summer of teen humour and heartbreak in Bristol.
SKINS follows a group of teenagers living on the bright side, who get high, get drunk, get laid and get up for their A levels. These kids really grab life by the balls and then give it a twirl.
Tony (Nicholas Hoult) is the best-looking boy in town. His sidekick Sid (Mike Bailey) is less successful with the ladies, much less; until bonkers anorexic case Cassie (Hannah Murray) turns up. But Sid’s in love with Michelle (April Pearson), the school fittie, who goes out with Tony, of course. Then there’s sassy musician Jal (Larissa Wilson), party animal Chris (Joe Dempsie), Maxxie (Mitch Hewer) and best mate Anwar (Dev Patel), who manages to combine the pills, the thrills and the spills with his faith, well sort of.
Guest stars on SKINS include Harry Enfield, Neil Morrissey, Sarah Lancashire, Danny Dyer, Peter Capaldi, Josie Lawrence and, Arabella Weir.
