Thursday 18th March - Skins

Skins - last episode in series 4

Broadcast at 10 o'clock on E4

Having watched all 4 series of skins, and they have all been pretty different in my opinion, the end of series signals sad feelings. But when this series finished last night, I realised how much I did actually like the characters and their relationships.

When Series 2 finished my reaction was one of excitement, looking forward to the new series that had been commisioned. However, with this one it is more of sadness that we will not see the characters again.

Halfway through this episode I turned to my housemates and wondered if anyone knew how they could finish it as none of the characters were going to uni or indeed away anywhere. This problem was quickly rectified as the programme went on with people getting acceptance into university from exams they had kept secret to the group or through a sports scholarship, or that they are going travelling.

Although the fan favourite, or character that they love to hate, Cook was left almost open ended so we may see him return in series 5 or 6, hopefully.

Skins is something that really has got students buzzing this series, with almost every status update on facebook on a Thursday night having some reference to the programme. I love it, and if you have happened to miss this series I think you may stil be able to view most of it 4od, or the dvd boxset is out now. Definitely a must have if you love your drama programmes, or just TV in general.

Im just left wondering what E4 is going to pull out of the schedule to fill the now empty slot on a Thursday night because in my opinion the adddition of Glee has failed to capture the hearts of many students, so what is there going to be to fill the teen drama slot. I personally would recommend new comers to watch 90210, although it is getting later on in the series now, but again I think you may still eb able to catch upw ith the majority of the series on 4od. Well worth doing before the new episode airs on Tuesday night and repeated on Sunday evenings. Give it a ponder.
