The hit show follows a young boy Bernard Beasley, who has the power to stop time with his magic pocket watch that was gifted to him by a mysterious postman.  The show originally aired from 1997 to 2001, before a new series until 2005. 

Skins followed the hedonistic lives of a group of Bristol-based sixth formers in the mid noughties and captivated its audience with gritty and realistic storylines. Moving away from glossy American teen dramas, the E4 series shone a spotlight on the antics of adolescents as they experimented with drugs, sex and partying. The seven series run was hailed for its approach to real life issues, as its characters dealt with wide-ranging problems from mental health struggles to addiction.

Original Skins cast members Nicholas Hoult, Kaya Scodelario, Joe Dempsie, and Larissa Wilson reunited over lunch this month, 15 years since the series one premiered. The controversial teen drama spanned a decade to 2013 and followed a group of teenagers from Bristol, dealing with issues such as mental health, eating disorders, and heroin use. In a photo that evoked some series nostalgia for viewers, the first generation stars could be seen smiling for the camera as they caught up in the sunshine, showing that their friendship is just as strong as it was years ago.
