Channel 4's critically-acclaimed drama follows the angst-ridden lives of its teenage characters, as they grapple with issues of race, religion, sexuality, drugs, and eating disorders. SKINS' portrayal of these characters as poster children of the hedonistic lifestyle is unflinching in its candour. Expect plenty more bitching, backstabbing, and general bad behaviour in this, the complete first and second series of the smash hit show.

Great bargain, but you can also download them directly (for free) from the www.channel4.co.uk/ondemand site. Not as good quality as the DVD (obviously) and also DRM'ed, but free. You can also stream them directly (without donwloading the 4OD client) in slightly lower quality.

I had to wipe 40D off my computer as it had my machine getting pings from a Sky site all the time ,even when I wasn't looking at anything:o

Odd. M=Perhaps it would've happened anyway? My router's always getting pinged. Usually from Holland. You can still stream from their website, which doesn't require the 40D client (which is essentially just a web browser).

I might try streaming in future ,but the program that loads definetly creates traffic when it's idle.

4OD uses P2P, kind of like Skype. So even when not in use, as long as it's in your tray icon, it's running and helping other get their data faster (but doesn't use a lot of bandwidth).
