[UK] E4 Skins


Recommended Posts

Skins returned with 1.1 million viewers on E4 last night, Thursday 28 January, easily outdoing the return of Secret Diary of a Call Girl on ITV2.

The start of the fourth series of E4's teen drama attracted 938,000 viewers in the 10pm hour, a 5.1% share of the multichannel audience. A further 164,000 watched an hour later on catchup service E4 +1, according to unofficial overnight ratings.

Secret Diary of Call Girl, the adaptation of the Belle de Jour blog and book starring Billie Piper that is returning for a third series, pulled in 664,000 viewers in its first half-hour instalment at 10pm, a share of 3.3%, while the second episode at 10.30pm drew 640,000. A further 91,000 and 92,000 respectively watched on the catchup service ITV2 +1.

The show was beaten into third place among multichannel offerings at 10pm, with BBC3's repeat of EastEnders picking up 818,000 viewers and a 4% share.

Skins' performance ? the best since its launch in 2007 ? was an improvement on the last series' average of 890,000 and the first episode's combined audience of 833,000, of which 665,000 was on E4 and the rest on E4 +1.

The launch night of the first series back in January 2007 drew 1.4 million viewers, setting a record for E4's best ever audience for an UK-originated programme other than Big Brother.

"Obi-Wan Kenobi is like god, but with better weapons" I was in hysterics :D

It's in real 720p HD finally. I'm going to watch it tonight I think.

I believe Skins has been filmed in HD since Series 1, the channels its shown on here in the UK have not been HD until recently though.

Channel 4 HD have shown the HD versions of Series 2 and 3 a few months after its been on E4.

Really did not like that episode at all, yes they always concentrate on 1 character but there was hardly any involvment at all from the other characters like normal episodes. And thomas the most boring one of the lot.. Hopefully next weeks an improvement.

I don't think they should have chosen Thomas as the first episode. It was all shock and awe in the first 5 mins, but then didn't regain anything until the end. Hopefully the other episodes will be better.

Worst episode of Skins i've seen. I was informed they always focus an episode around one character, i've never noticed that before?

From the start it looked like it was going to be amazing but after that nothing happened, for the full episode i was sat wanting more.

Hopefully next week is better.

Skins, always focuses every episode around one character.. http://www.epguides.com/skins

It is also the writing style of the show that leaves you wanting more on purpose, although in this case not more of the same :D

.... and Emily's brother was on top form as usual! What was he doing in that dress hee hee - he's brilliant

I couldn't figure that out either--hilarious!

But it was an okay episode all round. A bit of a downer. I got a glimpse or two of Effy, which keeps me going! :blush:

.... and Emily's brother was on top form as usual! What was he doing in that dress hee hee - he's brilliant

Probably to get naomi to like him :p

Better than the first episode, but still not on form compared to the others.

+1, this one was better than the first, but still no-where near as good as I was expecting. The 'next time' looked pretty good though, Cook's episode next week!

    • I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
