Skins Comes To Channel 4

After a hugely successful premier run on E4, Skins comes to Channel 4 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.

Skins is written by a team of writers with an average age of 22., including: Simon Amstell (Popworld), the Dawson brothers (Balls of Steel, Dirty Tricks), Jack Thorne (Shameless), Ben Schiffer, Josie Long, Jamie Brittain, Camilla Blackett and creator and executive producer Bryan Elsley (The Young Person’s Guide to Becoming a Rock Star, 40, The Crow Road).
