"Skins"

wrightylew [Edit] [Delete] 21:20, 5 January '07

How predictable are Channel 4 getting?

Yet another 'gritty' drama set in a Northern estate, about working class people, just having a laugh and living life the way they want to live.

GOD. I don't think I can take much more of it. Their latest offerring is aimed at an easy audience, obviously. And how do they get kids to watch it? Do an advert that shows a bunch of 'rebellious' teenagers ROCKING the house with a CERRRAAZY party and basically just being young.

Oh... its cringeworthy. There's the 'gritty voiced' voice over. That guy takes no nonsense. And then there's the crazy kids in the advert. They've got whipped cream and FUNKY glasses and they write VIRGIN on his head. Oh, AND its in Slow Motion.

If anyone's thinking of making a program, and you want to put me off watching it, THIS is how to advertise it.
