Skins: Series Two (Monday Show Spoilers)

I can't wait! Loved the first series, my housemate hated it though so I don't think I'll be able to convince him to watch it with me.

Slightly off topic, but I'm thinking about getting a Freeview box so I can watch so I checked the Freeview website for coverage of my area and it said I should be able to get some channels but not all. That's all based on the Waltham transmitter, but surely it'll be coming from the Nottingham transmitter... as I'm actually in Nottingham! I've never really understood all that. Can anyone explain it to me - simply please!

Not at all. Waltham is just where the nearest TV transmitter is. According to one website: "Your Freeview box may report this transmitter as Waltham as this the main regional transmitter."

The Freeview checker website says for me I couldn't get any, yet I can get them all. It depends really on whether you have an aerial in your room or on the roof. On the roof and you'll have a strong chance of getting them all.

Everyones talking bout it!

I think you can still watch the entire first season for free on 4od if you've got a decent connection.

Good show. So glad that smug b*stard is no longer smug, and glad Cassie is no longer as much of a freak of what she was. Shame she's currently miles away though. Good to see it focus on other characters too, and hurrah for Bill Bailey and Geoffrey Hughes. The only loser of the show seems to be Michelle. Oh, and is it wrong to quite fancy Effy now she actually talks?

Pretty good first show but had forgotten how many adverts they cram into it.

Bill Bailey was ace as ever and yes the effy is pretty damm hot but it's very wrong as she was only born in 1992 :shock::shock::shock: Cassie looked fit as ever and the the tunes used were bang on(DJ Shadow). Roll on episode 2

What's the Skins target audience anyway? Am I still in it?

I imagine, beings as it was first transmitted on E4, it'll be their target audience. Which is the 16-35 age range. So yes you are. Simon Amnstell sneakily gets away with being a major writer of it doesn't he?

Ooh, thank god. Makes me feel less old and unwanted.

Yeah I think Simon is quite involved in it. Maybe explains Bill Bailey turning up...

its always confused me how they know what age the viewers are, is it just wild guesses or is it more sinister?

I think they gather the data from little BARB boxes selected households have and then they work out the mathematics from there.
