US To Remake Skins

MTV has said it plans to create it's own version of Channel 4's teen comedy drama, Skins. The third season of the show is currently being aired on Channel 4 after previously being shown on E4. A fourth series is due to show on E4 in 2010.

"Skins is one of those rare shows that cuts through to its core audience with unusually authentic stories due to the unique writing and casting process that Bryan pioneered," said MTV's Liz Gateley.

"Having personally pursued the UK project for almost two years, I am beyond thrilled to bring it to MTV in the US. We intend to preserve the authenticity of the British version and are excited to collaborate with the original team to develop stories that will speak to American youth."

End Of Ashes

Marshall Lancaster has told The Sun that he is glad that Life On Mars spin-off Ashes To Ashes will end after it's third series.

"These sorts of shows have only so much mileage and it will have gone as far as it can," he said. "I think we can stretch only one more series out of it.

"Everything should draw to an end at some point and sometimes you can flog these things to death. You've got to aim for something like Fawlty Towers where they didn't film many episodes but they were all brilliant."

About the third series he said, "It will be a real eye-opener and won't be what everybody expects."
