Skins Review: It Is Finally Over!

August 6th, 2012 By Lauren Mullineaux

Relief, sweet relief as we can finally be quoted accurately on declaring the end of Skins and the start of summer, two things we love more than Michael Barrymore?s pool parties ? can we get a Roflcopter?

It's a slow start to the demise of the series as we know it ? yes guys, sorry to say it's going down shortly, after one final amazefuck of a series with members of each and every cast, probably at uni doing absolutely shit tons of work and writing dissertations on the representation of youth in the media, or not, you know.

Anyway, yeah, so Frankie is around hunting her mum like she's in a bloody day-glow version of The Hunger Games or something. She's wearing the same jacket she has been for about nine weeks and its filthy which makes us admire the attention to detail, it's these little grubby bits that really make the difference.

Dancing On Ice: It’s All Over (And Nobody Cares)

August 6th, 2012 By Jacki Evans

Anyone remember how Torville and Dean got famous? Anyone? It's that Bolero thing, right? Oh, and everyone knows about it? And is that because ITV keep ramming it down our throats every single Dancing on Ice finale even though it was nearly 30 years ago? Yes? Thought so.

And this year?s Dancing on Ice finale was no different. ITV didn't even give us a chance to think it might be, because they opened the show with two creepy opera singers doing Bolero whilst Torville and Dean launched their middle-aged bodies around a televised ice-rink trying to recreate something that happened before hecklerspray was even born.

Still, it wasn?t all purple lycra and a desperate need to recreate the 80s. Although some of it was, like Jorgie?s showcase dance. She pranced around the ice to Fame, and did lots and lots of tricky lifts and had a load of professional skaters doing the same thing as her, but slightly better than she'd just done it. She scored 29 out of 30, which looked really good.

Skins: Beds That Smell Of Vagina

August 6th, 2012 By Lauren Mullineaux

Here?s us getting all ready to talk to you about the Skins season finale and how that ending was a bit monumentally rubbish hanging off all the cliffs in the Lake District and it's only going to be bloody well on again next week isn't it?

We found that out through the cleverly titled, ?Next Week,? section at the end in case you were wondering what sort of powers we had.

On the whole we've noticed that Skins is peaking as the unusually fast pregnancy plot moves along.

Dancing on Ice: The Show That Lies

August 6th, 2012 By Jacki Evans

This week it was semi-final time on Dancing on Ice, and for the first time ever the person with the top marks went straight through to the apparently-quite-important final. Sounds like they've come up with something new, doesn't it? It's that whole ?first time ever? bit that does it.

But they actually haven't, and instead of coming up with anything new they just brought back the ultimate skills test to work out who was best. So it was all a great big lie.

Which isn't exactly surprising, since everyone in Dancing on Ice does seem to have the amoral worldview of the compulsive liar. Because that's all everyone did all show long. Lie.

Skins Review: Hark! A Vagrant!

August 6th, 2012 By Lauren Mullineaux

?Fresh Meat is coming up in an hour,? are our most dreaded words, not because we?d rather crawl into an oven than watch anything where Jack Whitehall plays Jack Whitehall, but because they mean Skins is on for the next sixty minutes.

It's all right though, because, this is the penultimate episode so as well as wondering how you spent a good eight weeks watching this in absolute isolation, you can look forward to the days where people might consider letting you near them again without risk of you blurting out terms of endearment that involve the word, ?Delish.?

For now though we're all going to happily continue from where we left of which is exactly with; Oh hark, a vagrant!

Skins: Killed With Fire, Never Again To Appear On A Television Set Near You

March 8th, 2012 By Mof Gimmers

Are you a fan of thoroughly and comprehensively unrealistic teen-dramas that pass themselves off as hard-hitting, issue-heavy dramadies, prone to firing its cast every 5 minutes? You’re probably stupid enough to like Skins then… which has just been killed.

No, not killed and prone to return with TV executives realising what a terrible mistake they’ve made.

Skins has been axed, cancelled, thrown into the bin, rubbished, pooh-poohed, left to rot… CANCELLED CANCELLED CANCELLED by E4 because, basically, no-one likes it anymore and it is obviously far too expensive to make. Besides, everyone’s watching Misfits these days.

Skins Review: Getting All Serious About Kiddie Fiddlers

August 6th, 2012 By Lauren Mullineaux

It seems only apt that Skins comes on after Embarrassing Bodies (which we have just realised is on a different channel) as every single one of the ?young adults? that consistently get their kit off on this programme should be ashamed of their skin sacks which are here being used for little other than to hold their organs in nearly the right places.

They should be embarrassed that, no matter what age they are, every single one of them is wearing tight hugging day glow boxers and ill-fitting bras. And they never wear those for long. And have you seen their sodding jewellery?

Congratulations are due to Skins though who last night tackled a real subject or at least attempted to. Alo was sent down kicking and screaming for cherry picking in the My Little Pony field, which as we all know is just plain sick and good television it does make as Skins effortlessly rode it's way to one of the best episodes of the season so far.

Skins Review: Sweaty, Sweaty, Skin

August 6th, 2012 By Lauren Mullineaux

Come on guys you know the Skins drill by now: Bristol, rich kids, drugs, drama, overwrought emotional turmoil, and sweat… buckets and buckets of filthy sweat dripping from practically every pore of every person.

And this week’s Skins hasn’t left us asking specific questions about it, rather, more of a pondering on an overarching issue. Basically, have you noticed that the entire world and all its inhabitants are based in Bristol? No matter how unlikely it is to find?Moroccan drug lords and Russian gangsters in Bristol, there they all are.

We’ve been to Bristol, and multicultural it ain’t.

Dancing On Ice Review: ITV Gets Confused Again (We Want Blood)

August 5th, 2012 By Jacki Evans

ITV?s got a long, long history of completely misunderstanding the concept of ?rock?. There's something about distortion pedals that just smushes their collective brains and leaves everyone in the audience a little bit baffled. And this week on Dancing on Ice, they did it again.

In fairness to the ice-dwelling imbeciles though, it wasn?t quite the same level of misunderstanding that Tulisa demonstrated on last year?s X Factor. They may have all been weirdly subdued and kind of odd, but at least most of them managed to pick an actual rock song to skate to.

Most. But not all.

Skins Review: Yes, It Really Is Still On

August 5th, 2012 By Lauren Mullineaux

Instead of listening to uplifting music we're continuing on the emotional, spiritual, and frankly suicidal journey that is Skins because somebody HAS TO and that somebody is us.

As the introductory voice over regales us with her warnings that ?Scenes may contain drug use, sex, and violence,? we curse ourselves NOT AGAIN and continue to brew up.

Spliced in between all this excess are some shots that compile an episode centred around the blonde ?bombshell? Minnie, except she's not really looking so fab these days because that's what happens when you're up the duff, preggers, cooking a bun, with child; you get angry and ugly so be warned children.
