I've just seen the advert for skins the one where the guy looks like he is about to puke in the toilet. I dunno about people here, but it doesn't exactly make me want to watch the show... in-fact, I'm put off now.

Ah well. Maybe am just too squeamish.

There's a good article about SKINS on the Independent newspaper website:
Teen dramas: Down with the kids
16 November 2006

"The first episode - where Sid tries to lose his virginity - may seem slightly laddy. But hang in there for episode two (Cassie's story), which is a fantastically nuanced piece of writing."

So the advert might not be giving a true impression? We'll see...

haha,that clip well makes me want to watch it. i get up to stuff like that myself so it's interesting to see a drama with people like me on it. i actually cant wait for it to come on

well i feel its about time there was a good program on tv that shows the true life of teens!, and the advert showing all the sick is great! it shows how skins is going to be a down to earth and great program.

I think the advert with them being sick is disgusting. How could you call it great?

it shows how skins is going to show all the parts of being a teen, yes ive seen lots of my m8s being sick.. this is a great advert!

I couldn't work out what that advert was about at first. I thought it was gonna be on of those anti-drink/drugs adverts where they tell you not to do drugs coz the consequences are bad!

Lol i think this is more hardcore that shameless well looks it

When promoting a new show Channel 4 (E4) need to target their audience, and it really does appeal to teenagers, espcially those in the whole indie/rock scene (not so much the emo scene). And it has an affect, because the party seems like a repica of ones a lot of teenagers, like me, go to... just with not as many drugs as it makes out, bit exagerated but yeah... it appeals to it's target audience well, all my friends are hooked and episode one hasn't even aired yet...
