The dark side of Skins: How the controversial teen drama which glamourised drugs and partying left its young cast feeling 'unprotected' with 'compromising' sex scenes and a lack of safeguarding

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.

It's usually shortened to four words by the football lexicon. "And Smith must score...' the commentary of Peter Jones seconds before Manchester United goalkeeper Gary Bailey saved Gordon Smith late in extra time to force a replay.' Those four words were used as shorthand when Brighton barely won the Cup and became the name of a fanzine as the club fell into disarray, and were later modified for Smith's autobiography. Ex teammate Gary Stevens remarks, 'Gordon's still dined out on it.' It's made him a fortune.' Nevertheless, the 1983 Cup final was also missing so much more. Helicopter rides, cream-colored shoes, unhavened participants in headbands and High Court appearances. A delectable Wembley goal, an early flush of Captain Marvel, record-breaking, and leg breakers.
