Official Poster of Anuvahood - With Ollie
We told you before that Ollie was part of a new movie "Anuvahood". Here is the fist official poster of that movie where you can see our lovely Ollie in the back.
The trailer will be released very soon and in the meanwhile you can take a look to the synopsis of this new project of Ollie:
The first ever UK urban comedy!
Kenneth (who likes to call himself Kay) begins to realise he's just another wannabe bad boy... even less than a loser in fact. After quitting his job at Laimsbury's, Kay vows to become a respected gangster... or cry trying. A pulls-no-punches, coming-of-age story, centering on one directionless hopeless "shotter", who finds his true worth in the face of urban adversity.

Popsugar interviews Ollie
Here is another interview with our lovely Ollie that plays JJ in skins. This is an interview where Ollie talks about his character and tonight´s episode, how the show represents real life teenagers, the fame levels of Robert Pattinson and much more!
Read the full interview bellow!
* Are you pleased with the journey that has been written for JJ?
"Very much so, I think that JJ's story is one of the most complete changes in character and a great example of some of the aspects of what happens to someone as they grow up and become more mature. By the end of the fourth series JJ is a much more well rounded person. In series 3, his story was about learning what it means to be "normal", whereas this time around, its much more about accepting and embracing the things in life which set you apart form others."
* In tonight's show JJ has a romantic storyline. How do you impress the ladies?
"Personally? I don't really, It sounds really clichéd but the only thing that anyone is going to respect and admire is the ability to simply be natural and not have to put on a persona to impress people."
* Do you think the show is a good representation of teens?
"I have always said that Skins must be seen first and foremost as a TV drama. Whilst the events in it can and do happen, a certain amount of exaggeration has to go on in order to make the stories fun to watch. It shows certain aspects of true teenage life, but packages them in a humorous and often larger than life way."
* Have there been any storylines that you’ve found difficult?
"None that really spring to mind. If any of us had a problem with one of the stories, there was always someone you could get hold of to help explain why the stories were the way they were."
* What’s the best thing about being recognised? And the worst?
"The best thing is that it often lets you know that people appreciate the job you've done. The vast majority of people are really positive about the show and that's a big compliment. I would have to say the worst thing is when people follow you and don't say anything, it can be quite an uneasy feeling having people watching you while you're out and about. Its like being spied on by some very conspicuous spies."
* Do you think you could cope with the level of fame of someone like Robert Pattinson?
"I'd like to think I would, but you never really know unless you get first hand experience of it. I have a feeling good old Pattz gets pretty irked by it at times."
* Describe the other cast members in three words:
"Good question."
Kaya: Youngest on set
Jack: Quick, witty and northern
Megan: Speaks her mind
Kathryn: "like..... like, like"
Lily: "SHE"S FROM HACKNEY!!!"
Lisa: Heart of gold
Luke: Annoyingly good looking.
Merveille: Perceptive, philosophical and confident.
Yourself: Loving the ride

Q&A with Ollie - JJ
In the Digital Spy´s website there´s an interview with the star of the next episode - JJ! In this little interview he talks about his character and the evolution that his character had in this new series!
Read the full interview bellow!
What sort of reaction have you had to the fourth series?
"It's been a good reaction so far. People warmed to the characters last year and that was a big part of the challenge. We put out the first episode and it got a bit of flak because it had a hard job to do - Skins was a series with all these well-loved characters and then we charged in! We had to be introduced and then we could tell stories. This series, people know the characters and you're back where you started. We're now in a similar position to the last cast in series two. On the whole, people have been happy about this series."
What did you think of last week's Freddie-centric episode?
"I thought it was amazing - really good. It was a brilliant piece of television and a standout from the series so far. It was dark, which fits with the series as a whole, but it was a good story - brilliantly written, brilliantly acted, well filmed and very well-received. It was a really solid episode - it wasn't too weird to be unbelievable."
Are you nervous about following that one?
"A bit nervous, but my episode is very different. I hope people will understand that and accept it for what it is. It is completely different to what we've just seen - it's not depressing and it's quite separate from the rest of the storylines in the show. It's appropriate for JJ: he's happy at the moment, and my episode should explain why! He's moved away from the three musketeers and he's found his own niche at the moment."
He gets a girlfriend, doesn't he? What can you tell us about her?
"She's called Lara and she works in the same place that he does and she's a very weird character, in her own way. She's genuine and nice and as far as JJ can see, she's everything that he would want in a girl."
How many episodes is she sticking around for?
"I'm not sure that I'm allowed to tell you!"
This is Skins, so I assume he's gonna have his heart broken?
"Sort of! There's certainly some trials and tribulations, and certainly nothing comes for free - especially not for a character like JJ. There are always compromises to make and challenges to overcome and this of course is no exception! Why the hell should he get to meet the perfect girl and just be with her?!"
There's a theory that his girlfriend will turn out to be a figment of his imagination. What do you think to that?
"I think that's a brilliant storyline! It certainly could happen. I don't know whether I can dispel that! I don't think she is, but I would love to see an episode like that - that would be really cool actually. She's not, but his imagination is definitely overactive. His mind does definitely affect the relationship he has with her. He's gonna find it quite difficult to be totally at ease throughout the episode."
Since you're all off to pastures new at the end of the series, does that mean it's likely someone will be killed off?
"I don't know... I couldn't say! I think it would just bring back ideas of the first cast and Chris dying, so I think it would be foolish to do something like that again. You're limited to the amount of stories that exist, but you have to be careful that you don't repeat."
Is the final episode a good conclusion for the series?
"It wraps up everyone's storylines very nicely. When we first met all of these characters had a lot of learning to do, but by the end they've come full circle. They're well-rounded people who've learned lessons and you'll see them completed as characters. The audience knows we're not going to be in series five and six so the writers have played to it a bit."
Is there anything that wasn't done with JJ that you would have liked to see explored?
"That's a great question! But no, I don't think so. Looking solely at JJ's story, it covers everything that a character like that would do in those situations. I think by the end of the series, every base is touched in the story of JJ. I'm happy with how he's turned out - he's almost become a friend that I know now!"

Top 10 Fav Characters - LastBroadCast website
The LastBroadCast site made a poll where they asked who was your fav character ever! (generation 1 and 2).
And this is the result!!! (Give us your own list too! :p)
#1: Emily
(Kathryn Prescott)
Often bullied and taken advantage of by her dominant twin sister Katie, Emily began Series 3 as a closeted lesbian, eventually coming out to her friends and loved ones, including Naomi, whom she is in love with. As the series progressed, Emily came out of Katie's shadow and began a relationship with Naomi.
#2: Chris
(Joe Dempsie)
Always game for a laugh. Chris Miles doesn’t need a family, or a home - so long as he’s got something to smoke, screw, pop, puff and snort he’ll be fine. His crush on psychology teacher Angie leads to a relationship, but when he becomes interested in Jal, she becomes pregnant with his baby. Chris died from a blood clot in his brain at the end of Series 2.
#3: Naomi
(Lily Loveless)
Read an old interview of lastbroadcast with Lily here.
A beautiful idealist, Naomi Campbell is passionate, political and principled - no one believes in anything anymore - except for her that is. Adamant that she wasn't gay, Naomi slept with and then began a relationship with Emily, falling in love with her and eventually learning to accept her sexuality.
#4: Maxxie
(Mitch Hewer)
Openly gay, Maxxie loves to dance and hopes to pursue a dancing career. He is best friends with Anwar, but the pair frequently clash due to Maxxie's homosexuality and Anwar's Muslim faith. When he is stalked by a girl named Sketch in Series 2, she eventually gives up and dates Anwar instead, attempting to turn him into a clone of Maxxie.
#5: Cassie
(Hannah Murray)
Read an old interview of lastbroadcast with Hannah here.
Both devilishly evil and angelishly kind, Cassie Ainsworth was admitted a rehab clinic in Series 1 after suffering from an eating disorder. She harbors a deep affection for Sid and eventually they get together, but she flees to New York and gets a job as a waitress after she witnesses Chris's death.
#6: Effy
(Kaya Scodelario)
The show's longest-serving character, Effy Stonem first appeared as Tony's silent younger sister back in Series 1. As the show's enigmatic queen bee in Series 3, Effy spent the series caught in a love triangle between Freddie and Cook, with both boys in love with her. Quiet and distant, Effy often tries not to express any emotions even in the midst of her parents' turbulent divorce.
#7: Sid
(Mike Bailey)
Read an old interview of Lastbroadcast with Mike here.
Desperate to lose his virginity, Sid Jenkins's love for best mate Tony's girlfriend Michelle makes him oblivious to Cassie's affection for him. When he eventually learns of Cassie's feelings, the pair begin a long-distance relationship after Cassie moves to Scotland. When Cassie runs away to New York, Tony and Michelle buy a plane ticket so Sid can follow.
#8: Cook
(Jack O'Connell)
Impulsive and oozing charisma, James Cook loves to have a good time. However, when his dark side emerges there’s no act, no matter how selfish or destructive, that Cook won’t consider. A good friend of Freddie and JJ, Cook's relationship with Effy gets between them and in the final episode of Series 3 he admits to Effy that he has fallen in love with her, but she chooses Freddie.
#9: Tony
(Nicholas Hoult)
The best-looking, clever, most popular boy in town, born leader Tony Stonem's manipulative ways saw cheat on girlfriend Michelle with Abigail and Maxxie. After being hit by a bus and ending up in intensive care for six months, sociopath Tony has to slowly regain his memories and abilities.
#10: JJ
(Ollie Barbieri)
Master illusionist Jonah Jeremiah "JJ" Jones is best friends with Freddie and Cook, dreaming up many of the trio's entertaining schemes. Suffering from Asperger's syndrome, JJ is extremely good at maths, but lacks basic social skills. Having formed a close friendship with Emily, he lost his virginity to her as a "one-time" offer simply as they're friends, even though she is a lesbian.
Do you agree with this list? Leave a comment with your top 10 list !!!

Behind the scenes with the boys of Skins - Filming for series 4
It´s a very fun video and it was filmed in the last day of filming for series 4, as you can see by the description:
"I filmed this 17th November 2009, the last day of filming for Channel 4's BAFTA winning show 'Skins' Series 4.
It involves the 4 lead males, Luke Pasqualino (Freddie), Jack O'Connell (Cook), Ollie Barbieri (JJ) and Merveille Lukeba (Thomas)
They are attempting to film a promo for a foreign TV channel which screens 'Skins', but as it was the last day, they struggled to keep concentration!"

Nota: Depois disto está mais que provado que a série não vai estrear no dia 21 de Janeiro, e a data 28 de Janeiro (data que Merv tem colocado no Twitter) é a mais plausível.

From this we can also have almost sure that the first episode is the one of THOMAS, because the sinopse is all about him, and in the infos below he is part of the principal cast.

Know a litlle more about Charater LARA in season 4
Do you remember we talked about a new character named Lara in season 4 of Skins??
In the article from Wales Online (06/12/2009) we have a little interview to the actress Georgia Henshaw.
Read it below!
TEEN starlet Georgia Henshaw won’t let her family watch her starring role in hit drama Skins – because she’s so embarrassed about her raunchy sex scenes.
The 16-year-old plays feisty teenage mum Lara in the new series of the show, which will hit our screens next year.
The Swansea starlet said: “I play JJ’s 17-year-old girlfriend, Lara. The whole episode is about us getting together, but there’s problems because I come with a lot of baggage – in the form of a nine-month-old baby.
“I also had to do a sex scene which was very cheeky. I tried to be as professional as I could, but I also made a bit of a joke about it so we were both relaxed and it wasn’t awkward.
“Ollie Barbieri, who plays JJ, has a girlfriend in real life and I was worried what she might think, but she was fine.
“My mum knew about the sex scene but I didn’t let her read the script. I knew she would be fine about it as she knows it’s a massive opportunity for me.
“She won’t be watching those scenes on the television, though, and I won’t let my brother watch any of it.”
Georgia describes her character Lara as a “feisty girl who has her wits about her”, and thinks the two of them definitely have a few things in common.
“She’s got a good head on her shoulders, likes intelligent conversation, knows exactly what she wants and is extremely driven – just like me”, she added.
“I wanted to portray her in a positive way as young mums often get a lot of bad press.
“I didn’t want her to come across as irresponsible so I tried to make her into a strong, savvy character.”
Bubbly blonde Georgia first auditioned for Skins three years ago, but was turned down because of her age.
“I met the casting director and we got on really well, but because I was only 13 she couldn’t use me as all the actors in the show need to be 16 because of the controversial storylines,” said the teenager.
“I said to my mum, ‘Being in Skins is my next goal’, and I couldn’t wait until I was old enough to try again.
“Every summer from then on the casting director would ring my agent, Mark Jermin, and ask him if I was 16 yet.
“Finally, earlier this year I turned 16, so straight away I went for an audition in London.
“I’d just finishing filming for Doctors when I got a phone call from Mark telling me I’d got the part. I was absolutely thrilled as the idea of being in Skins had been in my mind since I was 13.”
As well as being in teen flick Angus, Thongs And Perfect Snogging, Georgia has also landed herself roles in Casualty, the Catherine Tate Christmas Special, the film Blind Eye and new ITV drama Missing, which hits TV screens next week.
