S01E09 - Season Finale

Its Anwar's birthday party, yet no-one is in the mood to celebrate. Sid thinks he's got his act together, but when he tries to tell Cassie how he feels he ends up in a padded cell. Tony is also in the mood to make up, but seems his luck has run out too. There are scores to be settled. And settled they are, with some unexpected yet dangerously wonderful consequences.

S01E08 - Effy

Has nobody noticed that Tony's little sister Effy never utters a word? Has nobody ever noticed that this fourteen year old school girl sneaks out at night? No-one apart from Tony that is. But then Tony doesn't give a damn about anybody or anything, except his little sister.

S01E07 - Michelle

Time's up for Tony. His girlfriend Michelle has had enough. She's also had enough of her mum's latest husband/toy boy/business failure/serial idiot, Malcolm. Men! But then a shining knight appears on the horizon with the promise of a happy ending. Seventeen, heartbroken and on the rebound, Michelle jumps right in. But Tony is determined to make sure the new prince in Michelle's life turns into the biggest toad of them all.

S01E06 - Maxxie And Anwar

What happens when two friends suddenly run up against the limits of their friendship? Maxxie and Anwar are about to find out. And on top of that, one of them is dealing with advances from his straight male friend while the other is trying to fend off the father of the Russian girl he'™s fallen for. And it'™s all happening on the most disastrous school trip ever (mis)conceived. Surely an entire A level history class can'€™t get deported from Russia, can they?

S01E05 - Sid

Sid is in trouble. Deep trouble. He's failing at everything. His history coursework hasn't made the grade and he's only got a week to deliver something decent or he'll fail the year. And, of course, he's as sexually frustrated as ever and can't get his best friend's girlfriend, Michelle, out of his head. Will Sid ever buckle down and focus on his future, will his dad ever give him a break, and will he ever wake up to Tony's manipulative ways?

S01E04 - Chris

Happy-go-lucky party animal Chris wakes up one morning with a hangover and a hard-on. Nothing unusual there. Until he discovers a grand in cash and a note from his mum saying she's gone away. So, like any not-so-average pill-popping 17 year old, Chris embarks on a bender to end all benders. But what do you do after you've thrown the mother of all parties and blown all the money? Well, you sell everything that isn't nailed down and go again - and just hope that everything else will start to make sense. Sometimes though, life can make a little more sense than you want it to and Chris has to face up to the fact his mum might never be coming home.

S01E03 - Jal

Jal is not your average ghetto girl, nowhere near. But what's the point of having the Young Musician of the Year competition within hands reach, if those around you don't even notice? Jal's problem is her dad - he may be Bristol's answer to P Diddy, but when it comes to his daughter he's lost the plot. Sid has got a big problem of his own - a problem who goes by the name of Mad Twatter. Mad T won't rest until he's got his hands on his drugs, his money or Sid and, as usual, Tony has left his best mate to take it on the chin - literally.

S01E02 - Cassie

Cassie can trick everyone. In her magical world the skinny bonkers girl still manages to fool everyone that she's beating her eating disorder. Her parents Marcus and Margeritte are well and truly duped. But Sid isn't. Good old geeky Sid who inadvertently steps out of Tony's shadow to win a place in Cassie's heart by being the only person to possibly notice and care what happens to her. The only person except Allan that is, Allan the taxi driver, who takes her to the clinic and who is the only adult she trusts, and the only person to ever see her actually eat anything. Meanwhile, Michelle has a food issue of her own when Mum returns from holiday to find their house has been the scene of one almighty food and booze fight. But with new husband Malcolm in tow, will she even notice?

S01E01 - Tony

The first episode of Skins introduces viewers to a gang of friends through their leader, Tony. Tony is good looking, intelligent and ambitious, and he plans to help his best mate, Sid, lose his virginity at posh Abigail's party, with the help of some illegal drugs. However, things don't go quite as planned.
