Skins:

Want to know what the track was that you just heard on Skins?

We’ve noticed you guys have been leaving comments all over the shop asking for the name of certain tracks you’ve seen on the show. Well the makers of Skins have been posting up the full track listings on their website here which we thought you might be interested in. 

Rather handy

We've been informed by the creators of Skins that some people have been posing as Skins casting agents and approaching fans inviting them to castings which are not legit. If you have been approached by anyone posing as a casting agent and invited to a Skins casting, please DO NOT GO. The makers of Skins will not approach young people on the bus, walking down the street or anywhere else.

Any Skins castings will be announced on this very site, or www.skinslife.com, the casting agent is called Jane Ripley and she does not approach young people inviting them to castings. At the moment these dodgy characters have approached people in Bristol and London, inviting them to castings in both cities, so please keep your wits about you. If you haven't heard it here or on www.skinslife.com, it is not the real deal.

If you aren't sure whether something is dodgy or not, best thing to do is to email us here at e4.com.

Take care

We’ve just had a look at episode 3. And not only are we pleased to say that the delightful, delicious, delectable Cassie is back on our screens, but it’s also one of our favourite episodes since the dawn of Skins. In the words of our favourite space cadet: Wow. We love it, it has everything you could ask for in a Skins episode - humour, sad stuff and an ending that’s bittersweet and leaves you wanting more. As well as all that, there’s a performance by Crystal Castles. What’s not to like? Don’t miss it! And when you’ve watched it, get vocal. We want to know whether you loved it as much as us.

We must admit, we weren't expecting THAT! Is it just us, or was that episode seriously dark? Maybe we've just been watching too many cartoons and are just a little bit sensitive or something. Series II definitely has a lot of suprises in store. What are your thoughts on Sketch, do you fancy her sticking around to torment nice guy Maxxie a little longer? Or maybe just to spend some more 'quality time' with Anwar? And what about Tony and Michelle? There's so many questions that need answering, however what we need to know first if all is whether Cassie's coming back. We miss her! We may have to start a Campaign for Cassie if she doesn't turn up soon. We really hope she's eating well, we worry about that one.

Now we aren't ones to send you a message from our sponsors just for the sake of it, we would like to think you know us better than that. But our friends and sponsors BSM have really played a blinder and we're pointing this out because they're giving away really cool prizes! This month, they're giving away five, yes FIVE Nintendo wiis and Big Brain Academy games to you guys. All by answering one of those questions where the answer is also on the site. So enter; you could win an ace prize, and it will probably take less than five minutes, depending how slow you are...

Check out the prizes and enter

Have you just watched the first episode of series II? We've been gagging to talk about it, and now finally we can! We must say we loved the Maxxie dancing montage on the top of the roof, we're sad to see Cassie's still in Scotland, but hopefully this isn't the last we'll see of our favourite mentalist because we love her. Were you surprised by the new Tony? And what did you think to the new slutty Michelle? So many questions but we need to get this off our chest!

Let us know what you thought, and if you have the time, use our rather handy video upload tool. You'll need to be logged in to do this. Check out other videos here

Having problems getting the darn episode to load properly? Ok, well we aren't saying we're experts or anything, but we've been reading the comments you've been leaving and we have a few tips, as posted by some of the Skins massive, because you're good like that:
Press pause when the show starts loading. Wait until the white bar has fully loaded before you then press play.
Delete all cookies and temporary internet files (if you can only load to a certain point within the episode).
Use a different internet browser.

By the comments we've read, these tips seem to be working. We found pausing straight away then waiting until the full epsiode loads worked every time.

We hope this helps.

Hi Everyone,

We don't want you to miss out, so please press pause, let the white bar load and don't hit refresh! If you leave a comment this will refresh the page as well, so bear that in mind.

We’re coming up to the last of our Skins Premiere Parties, and the great news is, they’ve been so much fun, that we’ve decided to open up another room at the final party in London -  meaning there’s room for more of you guys to turn up! At midday on Friday (February 8th), we’re going to open up the ticket site again for one last time. This is the chance for you to come down, have some fun, see some amazing bands and DJs, oh yeah; and see Skins ahead of its premiere on E4 and E4.com. As before, this is strictly first come first served. Tickets really are massively in demand, so do us a favour and only apply if you’re certain you’re going to make it and can get to Shepherds Bush easily as there are bound to be those who are left massively disappointed when all of the tickets are snapped up. Otherwise, just cancel everything else, because to be honest, there’s no place you would rather be on Saturday.
