So, Skins II is finally over, well just about, nearly. (Technically we still have a week left). To celebrate we had a wrap party on Friday night in a dingy club in Bristol (very apt for Skins) which was fantastic. 
Everyone involved was there and we danced and drank in to the early hours of Saturday morning and then about 12 of us came back to mine and we watch the Skins Out-take Show: 20 minutes of series 2 cock-ups the editors had put together. It was a great watch and bought back loads of memories from over the past 6 months. In fact, it was so good we watched it twice. Then about 5 of us finally called it a night at 9am, out partying even Joe Dempsie (Chris). It is official, the crew are far more rock’n’roll hard core than the cast.
This final week we’re filming platforms for the internet. We’ve already filmed a Skin’s Christmas Special which is going out on the web about the same time as the Queen’s speech and we get to see some of the lovely cast dressed as a nativity play. Nick Hoult is even trying out his skills as a director. This should be pretty interesting as all the crew want him to succeed and it will be a total team effort.
On Monday we filmed sex scenes all day. For legal reasons we had to wait till one of our cast turned 18 as it’s quite a full on scene. I have to admit it was pretty strange to be sat next to Harry Enfield (director for episodes 5 and 6) while your mate’s thrusting on a bed 5 ft away from you.
After spending 6 months working 13 hour days with people who have become friends, Skins is now coming to an end. We are now all leaving to our various homes over the country and it all feels like quite an anti climax, but maybe next year we’ll be doing it all again. Till then, the break will be lovely and it’s going to be great seeing the final product on our screens in the New Year. I hope you have as much fun watching Skins 2 as we have had making it.
