Bristol-based teen comedy drama series, Skins, was one of the more popular shows in the late 2000s. First appearing in 2007, the show followed the lives of a group of friends as they navigated growing up and everything that comes with it.
Watched by millions, the show received 34 nominations in its time with seven wins. The Channel 4 series was often seen as somewhat controversial as some, if not most, of the topics touched on weren’t spoken about much in society at the time.
From issues like adolescent sexuality, gender, substance abuse and mental illness, just to name a few, covered on the show, Skins seemed to be way ahead of its time.
