That said, they've pulled off a blinder in the blossoming romance between unsure sapphist Emily and her objet de désir Naomi. Skins never knowingly underdoing the angzzt, we're not quite sure why they didn't go the whole hog and have Emily fancy her equally cutely coiffed twin sister. Sure, it'd infer all manner of outdated queer theory on the lesbian urge to merge, but think of the drama.
What we've got, however, ain't half bad. A gorgeously shot woodland love scene nicely referencing modern epic lezzorama My Summer of Love, followed by a lewdicrously symbolic confessional via Emily's cat flap: the pussy-centred counterpart to Pyramus and Thisbe's hetero hole in the wall. Amazing. Channel 4, we salute you.
