SKINS

The TV drama I'm going to be following week-by-week is Skins. The current series, which is the third, is now being shown on E4 on Thursday nights at 10PM.

It focuses on the lives of nine teenagers in their first year of college in Bristol. Other than being the same setting and setup, this series is also linked to the first and second by the fact that the "queen bee" of this series, Effy, is the sister of Tony Stonem, one of the characters in the first two seasons.

COOK

"Oozing charisma, Cook pulls off daring and dangerous stunts, knowing Freddie will always be there to bail him out."

EFFY

"Enigmatic and elusive, Effy’s the queen bee - attractive to all around her, utterly in control of herself and totally independent."

EMILY
"Emily Fitch likes being a twin, but she's crippled by her own shyness and depends on Katie to be the dynamic one."
