An open letter #6
Dear Channel 4 and E4,
Do you have a new drama called Skins starting soon? I ask because there was a single ad break in the last month when you failed to trail it. I'm sure I also saw a bus stop without a poster advertising it, and some websites without a banner pointing me to the Skins MySpace. Naturally, this has left me confused as to whether or not there actually is such a show - seriously, if you're going to spend money on new drama you should try to at least advertise it a bit, or how else will people know it's on? From the way you've plugged in (when you've remembered to!) it seems to be about teenagers being smug and I'd hate to miss out on that.
Fortunately you have so many different variations on the trailer that I suspect I've seen the whole of the first episode already, so if I do forget when and where it's on I won't have missed anything. Phew!
