Skins:

What a phenomenal game of football we had. It had everything a game needs, from pure skill to pushing, barging, arguing and without doubt laughing. It’s hard not to laugh with Harry Enfield as the referee. Though not the most fairest of them all I must say, the penalty he gave to Seth our Third A.D’s team was certainly suspicious. Even if they did have the ref on their side our team prevailed and the game was ours. With the skill of Mitch Hewer (Maxxie) and the, well let's just say heart of Mike Bailey how could we lose.  Joe Dempsie (Chris), top scorer on his side had nothing on our solid defence. 7-5 to us and it was a sweet victory.

As for the Table football well that didn’t go all my way I’m afraid.  Seth won the championship to every ones dismay. I like to see it as the student over taking the master. I should be proud; I won’t let him know I let him have it. At least I beat Bailey and the other cast. Not bitter at all.

And so another year of Skins has come to an end with a festive spirit. On our last day you could hear through out the corridors and canteen of the studio the harmony of Seth and the Midnight Runners (That’s the A.D band) singing Christmas carols while the cast and crew indulged in their last meal together looking forward to the night to come. The wrap party! This isn’t just any old party this is the Skins wrap party.

Our filming day finished with Hannah Murray, recording a voice over, and then a great cheer as the final "That’s a wrap" was called. People shook hands, even embraced; the ambience of the studio was sad but jubilant at what we had achieved. And so each crew and cast went their separate ways to get ready for one more party with the people they’ve become so close to in these last few months.

I wish I could give you an in depth account of the night but I’m afraid most of it is a blur. I do remember taking advantage of the free drinks a lot though and rocking home at nine thirty in the morning. I can assure you there was plenty of singing, dancing, kissing (not saying who) and group hugs on the dance floor. I can generally say it was a night celebrated by some of the hardest working, funniest people I’ve ever met who shall all be missed truly. In the last six months I’ve never laughed so much and so hard than I have with these people. It’s been a pleasure worth indulging.
