Hello there. Do you like good music? Do you like Skins? Well we know that the answer to at least one of those is 'yes', so listen up ... the Skins cast will be taking over The Hits Radio this weekend.

The guys and girls will be chatting to The Hits' Emily on Saturday and Sunday at midday - then Sunday night, 7pm-10pm, tune in for The Hit's Skins Party Night, a new generation of Skins anthems and general musical excellence.

Some useful stuff: The Hits Radio is available nationwide on Freeview and online at www.thehitsradio.com – and is on DAB Digital Radio in London. Here is their facebook too - why not have a look at it?

Sooooo, with all the excited-ment of episode 1, don't forget that the Skins Tour 2011 is still ripping its way around the country. London and Edinburgh have now both been officially rawked. Down there you'll find some pics from the Edinburgh gig of Freya and Sean, aka Roundview It Couple Mini and Nick. Lovely snaps by Steve Welsh.

There are still a couple of dates left!  Tonight the bus stops in Brighton, and tomorrow (Saturday) it's off to Oxford. GO THERE. All the details over here

Hiya everyone… so – there it was and here we are! Welcome back Skins.

Let’s get right down to it, what are you thinking? Franky Fitz has left us with plenty to ponder, no? Where did she come from? What made life so hard before Bristol? And is it going to get any easier?

It looks like identity is going to play a massive role in these guys’ lives – can we really choose our own? FF was forced to change hers and look how that ended up. Will everyone else have to face a similar dilemma?

Anyway, for now: Franky, Mini, Liv, Grace, Rich, Alo, Nick and the mysterious Matty… what did you think? Throw your thoughts at the comment box below and share your reactions/predictions/general Skins chatter.

Are you following @franky_fitz of twitter? If you are, you might have seen some of the properly beautiful things she's been making.

And from the looks of things, she's had time to explore Bristol before starting at Roundview, she posted this video last night - that means today's the day, right? Right?

*EXCITED*

Hiya! If you’ve been following Liv, Grace & co. on Twitter, you’ve prolly seen that it’s a pretty big week - looks like the new guys have had their first sniff of Roundview:

... and Alo's got his own educational agenda.

Alo first day tweet

Wish them luck, first weeks can be tricky.

But if the new Roundview website is anything to go by, they’ll be in *good* hands. Looks like Doug still understands the youth as well as he ever did - we nicked this video from www.roundviewcollege.org.uk.

Visit the spanking new/tragically old Roundview College website for more helpful advice.
