Is the first episode a re-make? Well yes. But the second is totally original. MTV have been incredibly supportive. They are being bold and we are going to try to as well. I understand the concerns. If you know Skins you know that we are always going to give things a go, win or lose. So I really hope you enjoy what we have tried to do."
