Edward: Freddie's bracelets were loving made by my costume assistant on holiday in Portugal - rediscovering the popular 70s craft of macrame (also good for hanging baskets)
His trainers were Nike hi-tops

Effy's black and white striped bag    
Hey! Does anyone know where Effy's black and white bag is from? I really need to no as i've been looking for something like it for a while. Thanks xx

Edward: Effy's black and white bag was from Claire's accessories years ago - she actually had it in the very first series - but easy enough to make one yourself

It's happening already; the second generation are (quite rightly) signing up to other projects, and it's just been announced that Jack (the Cookie Monster to you and me) is to star in a new two-part drama for BBC 2, called 'Dive'. All together now: ooooh

cook

Part 1 of the two-hour drama will follow Lindsey, (Aisling Loftus), a talented diver who is set to represent GB in the 2012 Olympics, when she finds out she's pregnant. Part 2 will follow her boyfriend Robert's (played by Jack) story and is described as a 'refreshing stance on the subject of teenage pregnancy and the pressures of growing up in the UK in the 21st century'.

The team behind the drama include award winner Dominic Savage has co-written the piece and will Direct - he's won a whammo lot of awards so expect big things - oh and the Producer of some film called Slumdog Millionaire, which we predict may do quite well too.

Savage describes the film as one that "celebrates young people and has an optimism for their future and what they can achieve."

Ben Stephenson, Controller, BBC Drama Commissioning, adds: "As always, Dominic's work has attracted outstanding acting talent and it is fantastic we can provide a platform for young emerging artists in this piece too."

Well done Jack.

Right then Skins contingency: we need your help yet again.

Seeing as we were up against some huge shows at the BAFTAs and still nailed it thanks to your votes, we're throwing it 'out there' yet again, and asking you to put your voting where your mouth is (or something that doesn't confuse the metaphor), and vote for us!

Firstly, we need you to vote for us as best drama at the TV Quick Awards. Secondly: same awards, different category. The lovely Kaya is nominated for Best Actress at the awards for her role as Effy - well done Kaya! Please vote for her if you think she's worthy (of course, she is). She was over the moon when we won the BAFTA, and thanked you the fans on stage. Imagine what she would do if you voted for her in this category? Nothing filthy, you disgusting web folk, we just meant she would be pleased...

Anyway, final plea is for our daddy site, or cool-older-brother-in-a-Tony-Stonem way site: E4 has been nominated for Channel of the Year. So please support us y'all by clicking here! After all, if it wasn't for E4, well; it doesn't bear thinking about does it?

Congratulations Kat and Lily!

Not only are you by far the most popular couple of series 3 and play the two most popular characters in series 3 (as voted for by the Skins massive - almost 250 000 votes). Now AfterEllen.com has revealed you're brand new entries in their top 100 hot list (Kat - 26, Lily - 29).

150,000 votes were cast, and only 25% were non American. Within the top 100, only 5 were new entries, so you're totally in the minority. Way to go.

PS Thanks to everyone for flagging this up by leaving comments here and on Twitter. Skins loves you all.

Skins: the movie?

Is there a Skins movie on the cards? It's very very very (emphasis on very) early days, but Film4 are in 'preliminary talks' about a Skins movie, which still means that nothing has been agreed and it may or may not happen. But, let's speculate anyway...

We already have a Hollywood star in the form of Dev, and Skins is already 48 minutes long (without ad breaks); and that simply isn't long enough, judging by your comments (which we take as THE LAW). We can think of four successful TV spin offs recently: The Simpsons, South Park, In the Loop (from the hilarious In the Thick of It, featuring Sid's dad as foul mouthed Malcolm Tucker, fact fans) and Sex and the City; but two of those were cartoons. And Sex and the City was rubbish.

What could happen in Skins: the Movie? And who would it feature? Would/should it still be based in Bristol? A mixture of the old gang and the series 3 gang or should it have 'Hollywood' faces? If so, who? For instance, could you see Scarlett Johansson as Naomi or is the diminutive Miss Lily Loveless the only gal for the job? We doubt a show that prides itself on writing and that keeps it real (even if we sound like Westwood by saying that) would trade in teens for Hollywood 20 somethings; but it's fun to speculate...

Lets discuss
