That’s my monday nights sorted for the next few months
12 February, 2008
Skins returned to television screens across the UK tonight for the season premiere of series two. And what a triumphant return it was. Skins was my top pick of last years viewing, simply because it was the most original new series last year. This new series promises more of the same high quality viewing that had me enthralled week after week last year.
My favourite (and every other gay guy and straight girls favourite) Maxxie (played by Mitch Hewer) has deservedly an even more prominent role in this series than the last. I can’t wait to see how his story lines develop, and find out what is in store for Maxxie in this series. If the teasers at the end of this weeks episode are anything to go by, we should be in for a Maxxie treat next week too.
There is just a little irony though; it looks like in 3 weeks time I’ll be living abroad for a few months, missing the rest of the series…
(Unless I manage to find a sneaky download somewhere!)
Hmmm – I don’t like his hair. Give me (a cleaner version of) sid any day.
Excellent! We’re just getting through Series 1 here and I’m loving it. Can’t wait for more!
yeah series 2 started off pretty well in my opinion. totally agree with you on maxxi – hot hot hot! good dancer too!
if you take your laptop out to [edit] XXXXX [ahem... careful stuart - A], you might be able to get away with using 4OD to watch it. not sure if it uses IP filtering or not – but maybe an option!
are you moving to any where you can talk about?
@Ant – Sid does have his charms too, and I wouldn’t kick him out of bed, but Maxxie’s stolen my heart… something in the way he moves.
@Tom – you’ll enjoy the new series when it does eventually get downunder… You did gave us Neighbours (unfortunately), didn’t realise the UK progs were being shown with you guys though.
@Stuart – Glad we agree on that ;o) I’ll be taking my laptop with me, and hopefully 4OD will work, but I suspect it will be filtered unfortunately. will have to wait and see.
@Tim – no señor, I don’t want to talk about work on here, somewhere in Europe is all you’re getting… draw your own conclusions.
Crikey, don’t judge us by Neighbours… that is made pretty much exclusively for the UK market – it does really badly in the ratings here. There are much better Aussie shows around.
We had the Maxxie and Anwar one on Monday night when Maxxie and Tony were both half naked. British television at its best!
Dear me, Maxxie in just a towel at the end of Skins last night was just amazing. But hey, what a dancer. It’s the moves that get me.
