Is there a soundtrack for the show that contains the theme song? I found a "Series 1" complilation album on iTunes, but I don't want those songs. I'm more interested in the theme song and the original "background" music.

A soundtrack, no, the guys soundclocd with all intro music downloads available for free, yes.

(The DVDs have extended versions and there is an origial song all the intros are based on which sounds absolutely nothing like the intros, scan youtube for it)

'Skins Pure' by Bryan Elsley

Cassie (Hannah Murray) is adrift, alone and invisible in London, trying to make sense of her life. Slowly she realises that someone is following her. Cassie turns towards the unknown. A strange and poignant friendship is carved out of mutual loneliness, but can it survive exposure to the real world?

'Skins Rise' by Jamie Brittain

Cook (Jack O'Connell) has a job delivering drugs to Manchester Revellers. When he is asked to help his employer's girlfriend find a house and finds that he is irresistibly attracted to her, he sets off a train of events which will lead him into a world of savage revenge and a confrontation with his own violent past.

'Skins Fire' by Jess Brittain

Effy (Kaya Scodelario) has a dead end job as a receptionist for a leading London Hedge Fund. But as she stumbles across crucial financial information relating to a troubled deal and embarks on an affair with her wealthy boss, she finds out that she has bitten off more than she can chew. Her flatmate Naomi (Lily Loveless) tries to stop Effy from ruining her life, but Effy cannot be reached; until tragedy strikes.

Just finished the 3rd season and a few eps into the 4th season. I've been enjoying the 4th season so far a lot more because the story lines are a bit more complex. My impression of the 3rd season:

That guy Freddie is a total ****. The show tries to pertray him as the protagonist in the love triangle between him, Cook, and Effy but from what I can tell that guy is just a ****. He is all "I love Effy so therefore I'm going to hate her BF Cook because Effy really loves me." Then, at the last ep when Effy and Freddie get together he's all telling Cook that they should be friends now and just get over it. Well **** that guy. I'm not a fan of Cook (the show makes him a hard character to like) but I feel bad for him in regards to how that all turned out. IMO Effy was perfect for Cook because they both had about the same moral standards in regards to drugs, drinking, and sleeping around.

That was a good season (Y)

I did really like what the writers did. They made you hate Cook at first, but he redeemed himself. He ended up being my favorite character because he was anything but a phony. My wife liked JJ. Effy irritated me. I knew too many girls like Effy in high school. Effy seems like someone who will "develop" fibromyalgia in her 20's and live off drugs and disability benefits.

This is why I liked that generation...

Naomi deserved better than confused, immature Emily (IMHO). I like the morals of the show. They align with my own in terms of how I view homosexuality, drugs, and mental health facilities. There is a balance with drugs, and the show demonstrates how it effects different people differently. Effy's depression was obviously more about her abuse of drugs going back to her teeniebopper years than Tony getting hit by a bus and her weird relationships.

I can't wait but then it'll be over and I'll be sad :(

Well look at it another way - they limited each set of cast to 2 series and this final 'episode', so unlike other shows, they haven't been able to mess the shows up and made them not worth watching ;). Well, I hope they haven't...

Yeah plus the original cast's returning is always good and a good way to wrap everything up

Is a new series starting?

Yes series 7 which consists of 3 episodes starts in july.

It's not a new cast or whatnot, each continues from where series 2, 4 and 6 left off individually and signifies the end of skins on channel 4 completely though they might do a film or something apparently.

      I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.

      Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
