The show was created by father-and-son television writers and for, and premiered on on 25 January 2007. Skins went on to be a critical success as well as a ratings winner.Over its initial six-year run, Skins proved to be atypical of ongoing drama series in that it replaced its primary cast every two years. Plans for a film spin-off were first discussed in 2009, but ultimately did not come to fruition. Instead, a specially-commissioned seventh and final series of the show was broadcast in 2013, featuring some of the cast from its 2007–2010 run.
The show's name comes from the cigarette known as 'skins'. Other ventures to expand the brand have included a short-lived, which aired on in 2011, but was cancelled after one season after advertisers abandoned the series in response to low ratings and the significant controversy which arose over its depiction of teen sexuality. Contents.Background Co-creator recalls his first conversation with his son, soon to be co-creator, which led to the creation of the popular and edgy show. Brittain critiqued many of his father's other ideas for a TV series. He started with the idea that being a teenager co-existed with poor behavior, casual sex, and experimenting with drugs and alcohol. Most shows with teenagers pretended that these things did not happen especially involving consequences, which this show also lays bare.
Elsley has been defending his controversial show for years. His philosophy explored how teenagers believe adults act in corrupted ways, which explains why all the adults in the show appear to be crooked, in poor relationships, swearing, and overall poor parents.

Main article:Although Skins aired in the United States on (only series 1–3 aired and the rights cleared only for those series for purchase of DVDs or online viewing in the US), albeit in a heavily censored form (strong language bleeped out and some more graphic scenes of violence and sex cut out), MTV announced that they would be adapting the show into an set in, Maryland. With as executive producer, the series began filming in February 2010 in, Ontario, Canada.The first episode of the US series is almost a shot-for-shot copy of the first episode of the UK series, but it deviates from the original plot in following episodes such that there are significant differences between the US and UK versions.
Characters are also similar, and some names have been changed; Sid has been renamed Stanley, Cassie renamed Cadie and Jal renamed Daisy. In addition, Tony's younger sister Effy, who becomes a main character in Generation Two of UK Skins, was renamed Eura. However, the biggest change comes in the form of Tea, a lesbian cheerleader who replaces the UK gay character Maxxie who was a professional dancer.The show's cancellation was announced by MTV on 10 June 2011. The, an advocacy group, criticised the show, calling it one of the worst shows a child could watch. Reasons cited for its cancellation included loss of advertising sponsors and a shrinking audience, with fewer people tuning in for each subsequent episode.
Pre-adult teens ('minors' under US law), who are MTV's core demographic audience, were at the centre of the argument for those who disapproved of the program, even with MTV's self-imposed restrictive broadcaster-like standards and practices.Production Writing The show's writing team has an average age of 21, and includes several 'teenage consultants'. Elsley said, 'It's all about the writing. We're about letting our audience feel they are not alone. We're always having people miss writing meetings because they've got or even '.In January 2011, Jamie Brittain announced a writing competition open to the public to help with the developing and writing of Series 6.
According to Brittain, the winner will receive 'a four-month placement in the Skins writers' room, where you'd be invited to attend at least 10 of our top secret meetings, working with Brittain and the other Skins writers,' as well as monetary compensation. The winners of the 2011 competition were Sophie Boyce (18) and Joe Hampson (21).
The winner of the 2008 competition, Dan Lovett, went on to become an official member of the Skins writing team.

This episode was shot in co-operation with Lithuanian Film Studios and professional Lithuanian actors.It was announced in April 2008 that all of the original cast (except and Lisa Backwell) would be replaced for series 3. Elsley said: 'There are risks associated with dumping a cast, but we just did it. There was some disquiet at the channel, but then they told us just to go with it.'
Speaking at 's television drama conference, he also confirmed the show would stick to its pattern of introducing college-age characters, moving them on in the next series, then letting them go. 'The first year is about getting to know the kids, and the second gives us the advantage of being able to explore their psyches a little more,' said Elsley. Brittain said that the new cast would be quite different from the original characters, although people may still spot some similarities. Open auditions for the second generation of cast members were held in, which attracted 1,500 16- to 18-year-olds, followed by a further two days of auditions in London.
Online content A variety of videos have been released on the Skins website, including character profiles, and 'Unseen Skins' mini-episodes that interweave with every aired episode.

International broadcasts CountryTV network(s)Notes,(Series 1-6) / (Series 7)(Series 1-2), (Serie 3),Reception Critical reception The first series received positive reviews, although some critics complained that the series depicts teenagers unrealistically and stereotypically. Others criticised the excessive promotion of the show (specifically in the UK) and having relatively mediocre writing in comparison to other similarly themed shows. Actor Nicholas Hoult defended the extreme storylines, saying they would not reflect 'everyone's teenage life', adding 'it is maybe heightened for entertainment but all of it is believable.'
Expressed admiration for the show, and particularly enjoyed the fact that the show was 'beautiful and sad and poignant and perfectly hurtful', while also managing to give impression of being drama that is 'edgy, funny and rude'. However, she did state that she was unsure whether the show was meant for teenagers or not. Has remarked during an interview on the programme that he feels lucky for having been a teenager watching TV for teenagers in the 1970s and not the 2000s as 'there was something really comforting for nerds and weirdos about programmes like and.' He said that watching Skins as a teenager today would make him feel lonelier than he already would have been.
However, himself gave the programme a positive review in his column 'Screen Burn', and specifically stated that 'the series had wrong-footed me', comparing his initial expectation of Skins as a shallow show to after he had finished watching the series.In his book Doctor Who: The Writer's Tale, and his co-author, discuss Skins at length, with Davies praising the show's innovation in a genre that was fast becoming tired and out of date. They are critical of some elements of the first series, such as the believability of Tony's character, or episode 6 which is described as 'Carry On Russia', but give high praise to the second series as a whole, highlighting the death of Sid's dad as a superb moment, and calling the finale 'perfect'. Davies, creator of the award-winning, also praised the handling of the show's homosexuality-related storylines, saying that he knew a boy very like Maxxie in the 1980s. Called it a 'refreshing, entertaining and worthy series' and wrote it was 'compulsory viewing for parents of teenagers as much as for teens.' Similarly, the 'Naomily' storyline of Series 3 and 4 proved popular with lesbian viewers; a poll conducted by American lesbian's' media website ranked Naomi and Emily as the top two fictional lesbian and bisexual characters.
Television ratings The pilot episode of Skins averaged 1.5 million viewers. The ratings for the second series which launched peaked at 884,000 viewers, which gave it 5.9% audience share and taking 60% of the 16–24 demographic, however this was still more than 500,000 viewers down on its series one premiere. The series finale attracted an audience of 740,000 on E4, equating to a 4.65% share of the audience. The start of the third series drew in 877,000 viewers, proving popular with its key audience demographic of younger people—56.2% of viewers were aged between 16 and 34. Series 4 premiered with 1.5 million viewers across E4 and E4+1, the highest rated episode since series 1.
Cultural influence The programme has given rise to the term 'Skins party', referring to a debauched night of heavy drinking. During the 2007 Easter holidays, a girl in threw a house party; it was advertised on her Myspace profile as 'Skins Unofficial Party,' referring to the party in the first series' trailer, with the subtitle 'Let's trash the average family-sized house disco party.'

She claimed that her account was hacked and someone else placed the ad.Similar incidents have taken place in the, with major household damage and theft of personal property being reported in,.
