Ha im getting carried away now.. but Jeremy Kyle! he's fast becoming an idol to everyone that's been on study leave and not going remotely near any revision :) i can see im going to have to keep adding to this.. x

Oh and while we're on Noel.. Julian Barratt (his Mighty Boosh co-star/writer) would also be an interesting addition to the show. He's got an understated humour and could play a slighty older type. maybe like an aging hippy or music teacher. Plus he writes which would also be good to bring to the show :) x

I wholeheartedly believe that Russell Brand should get a guest spot on the show. He's great entertainment, he's had the life experiences and he's got the ability to bring added humour to the show. Plus he seems to improvise a lot which could bring new spins on things :) I think he has a huge fan base so would encourage a wider audience. The same thing goes for Noel Fielding, who doesnt get the same publicity as Russell but deserves it all the same :D Vicky in E.Yorkshire

You should deeffiinnttlyy run another few extras competitions :) i was gutted not to get into the cast but its great to have more opportunities to be involved! Vicky Shearer, 17 (but not long til im 18!) and in East Yorkshire xx

I've got two more the add.. - Don't Walk. Run! (http://www.myspace.com/dontwalkrunmusic) - Armageddon Fresh (http://www.myspace.com/armageddonfresh) They're both from Hull, so they're local to me. I'm a bit biased since my friend toni is in one and my friend cookie is in the other. but i truly believe they deserve to be on the show! Thanks, Vicky

the paddingtons :) also there are a few Tegan and Sara songs that would probably work well in the show :) xx

PS. sorry my picture came out so big! hmm :S xx

Hi. Im Vicky, Im 17 (although im 18 in september) and i live in East Yorkshire (near-ish to hull). I travelled down to london to audition for skins, which was awesome but unfortunatly i didnt get called back :( I'm willing to travel to wherever to get involved! Thankyouuuu. xxx

just saw your comment about writing for skins. im desperate to do the same, and Ive tried writing to numerous addresses and emailed a lot of different people; but ive not heard anything back. have you any extra info or feedback? cheers, Vicky

and btw potato talk isnt a euphemism. genuinely asking me about my potato preferences. and no i dont get it either :S haha x

vince- what should i be thanking you for exactly? it was the other guy who was nice about my mental breakdown.lol. you just made it worse by confusing my brain with potato talk on msn. ha x

thats to david johnson btw x

thanks for your concearn m'dear :) haha x

I didnt really know where to ask this.. and the answer is probably in the long backlog of music guides.. but who was the band singing at the club in chris's episode (the guy with the straw hat)? keep up the good work, loving all the music choices. thankyouuu xx

Hey Toby, I know you've been asked this a lot already but Im going to have to ask as well. Are there going to be more auditions anywhere in the country? i went to the london ones last week (I had to get up at 4am to get down to london on time) but if I dont get in id love another shot. plus a load of people that i know regret not going last week and were hoping for another opportunity. Thankyoouuu Vicky vixiv_7@hotmail.com www.myspace.com/vickyshearer

just jumping back a bit again.. shheeeeep. ive just been out in a field with some little lambs. which all ran bleating at me. i love them :) how can you hate them!? haha. vince agrees :) and joe knows he wants to. ha. i know this is a random post but you can blame the fact im off school 'emotionally and physically exhausted' ie im slowly having a breakdown. haha. x

This page has moved further and further away from being about the Skins Auditions. lol. just thought id ask, since others have posted and not got replies, has anyone been contacted yet? i was talking to my mate about it and she heard some guy was contacted. but obvs people are going to make stuff up. just wondered if there's been any official word on it x

at the end of the day, Im pretty sure everyone will have tried, and not getting it doesnt mean your bad at acting, it just means that you're not what theyre looking for. you might be too similar to one of the previous cast, or just not what they pictured. like many of you, im disappointed in myself because i know i could have put myself out there more, but ultimatly theres still a chance, and if not then there'll be other opportunities. dont get dispondent just yet :) x

did kaya or anyone go yesterday. i was out by half 10ish so idk if someone was around later. x

one guy in my 16 did over-swear though. in a bit of a 'trying too hard to fit with the skins stereotype' kinda way. x

ahhh well it was worth a shot right!? noone in my group got their sheets in even though this one guy was really good in a double-date senario thing. idk i dont think i had the outlet to stand out. we got given a complicated senario because the lady ran out of ideas on her sheet, so our scene was -one girls bf had just cheated on her with another girl in the group -then it turned out that this bf was actually the brother of the 3rd girl -i was last in the line so i was told to 'support whichever side of the argument you think is right and act accordingly' which i think is enough to fill a whole episode let alone a 1minute improv. haha. oh well. gave it a go. xx

it was ridiculously rushed yesterday. and i was out sooo fast too. bugger. x

not too sure tbh. it was massively rushed and my group had such a complicated improv. she'd run out of senarios on the sheet so she made one up 'pretend one of you have a bf and hes cheated on you with one of the others. then the bf turns out to be the 3rd girls brother and she didnt know' and then i had to pick a side and argue it. it was so massively rushed. so i dont think i did very well. they didnt do 2nd auditions i dont think. there were too many people there. i was there half an hour early and still number 3800! all i can do is hope. they didnt collect anyones sheet in separatly. they just asked for everyones in, and told the whole group theyd contact them in the fornight if they needed them. so idk what that means. lol. oh well. xxx

i went yesterday and it was soooo rushed. i was there half an hour early (i had to get up at 4 to be ready for my train) and i was still number 3800. it seemed to be over really fast. did anyone get their sheets taken in separately/have to do a screentest later? x

yeah thats probably a better idea then! :) xxx
