Skins

The DOG is horrific - I think these "promo" DOGs should be banned completly. There also using an in-programme pointer thing at the beginning of programmes - though to be honest I didn't find that as distracting.

Not seen E4 do it before, though T4 have quite often. Sky Three do it all the time - often for Sky One programming Freeview viewers couldn't watch anyhow!

Does anyone else like the look of the endcap on the promo for skins? And are they using a new font for it?

Probably the font used for the programme itself.

I do like the look, but I do wish E4 would change their endcap so they fitted in with the C4 family. It wouldn't be that difficult to do - purple background, larger logo on the centre right, E4 font used on the left!

It's always been good that the C4 channels haven't had a completely corporate look - but E4 does now feel like the odd one out in terms of it's trailer endcaps, and just changing to the standard layout the other channels use wouldn't lose any of it's identity.


Going completly off topic, but I'm tired of the idents too - mainly because they are a piece of film with a logo slapped on screen. I wouldn't mind them being redone keeping the band, but incorporating a large 3D E4 into the scene, rather than slapping a logo on top. I think it also be good to see the band on some of the sets of various E4 programmes, as they do for Big Brother.

Whats the verdict so far? - cant watch it tonight myself

At the end of BB, E4 popped up with those sarcastic promos with "Turn over to E4. Skins is on! It's Brilliant!". Too far, Channel 4. Too far.

yep thats exactly what i thought
Over hyping it is gonna be bad news if the shows naff, even if it is good -still no need

Not bad - needs to be given a chance, but not bad at all. Quite a few funny moments, and it seems to have quite a few cameos along the way!

Harry Enfield as the dad - you just can't help thinking back to Kevin and Perry!


Weak opening titles though - but I love the break bumpers!

I was actually surprised with myself that I enjoyed it as much as I did. I think after all the hype I expected to be let down.

At least now that it's been on, the excessive promotion is over. It almost ruined ER for me.

Why has this user been banned? He's entitled to his view and if you ban him you'll have to ban me too.

He's banned but not for that post, his last two were more reminiscent of a pedantic spelling (and occasionally grammatical) troll so that's why he's currently banned. I mean, if you're going to take someone's spelling apart, do it with a crafty nudge and a wink.

Does anyone know if E4 will repeat it again on Sunday as 'Second chance Sunday' - it was so good last night - I want to watch it again!

The announcer said it will be repeated on Tuesday.
