EPISODE 1 (SKINS)
(Redirected from Tony (Skins episode))
'"Episode 1"' is the pilot episode of the television show ''Skins'', which first aired on E4 on 25th January 2007. It focuses on the character of Tony.
Tony, a seventeen-year-old boy, is lying awake in bed, waiting for his alarm to go off. When it does, he rises and starts his morning exercises. As he stands by the window, he watches the woman in the house across the street changing. Down on the pavement, he sees his younger sister, Effy, returning home from a night out. As her parents clearly think she is still in the house, Tony makes a distraction by turning up the volume on his stereo system. When his father bursts in, he pretends it is broken. By the time it is "fixed," Effy is in her school uniform and wiping off her make up from the night before.
To further infuriate his father, while Tony is in the bathroom with his dad madly wanting to come in, he lockes the door and climbs out the window. He re-enters the house through the front door, leaving his father banging on the bathroom door.
Tony leaves the house for college and phones all his friends Sid, Jal, Anwar, Maxxie, Chris and Michelle (his girlfriend whom he calls "Nips" because of her "hilarious" nipples). Tony wants Michelle to help Sid lose his virginity and she agrees. Tony tells Sid to meet him at the cafe to discuss how they are going to get someone to shag him. Sid is told he is going to sleep with Michelle's friend Cassie, but first they need to get some dope from Mad Twatter. Tony then goes to an all girl's school to apply for a place in the choir and is invited to a party by one of the girls called Abigail. She tells him to bring some friends.
The group meet on the college green before class to discuss the party. Chris and Anwar say they can't go because they are going to Maxxie's gay night at the pub. Jal can't go either. Tony then realises that Sid is buying too much dope and tries to phone Sid to stop him buying it. Sid, however, buys 3oz for £300 from Mad Twatter, who demands the cash within 48 hours.
Whilst Sid is buying the dope, Tony and his mates are in psychology with Angie, a teacher who is upset because her boyfriend dumped her. After the class Tony is angry with Sid because he did not check his phone with the messages telling him not to buy the dope. Chris is then seen talking to Angie, telling her to get over her ex. When her ex phones her, Chris answers it and tells him to stop phoning and upsetting her.
Tony and Sid are outside the party discussing how to sell all the dope when Michelle and Cassie show up. Cassie is a young girl with an eating disorder who has recently been released from a health clinic. She claims she can now eat yoghurt, a cup-a-soup and hazelnuts. Whilst everyone is dancing, Sid joins Cassie in the kitchen where she is arranging the food. Cassie asks Sid if they are going to have sex, but Sid quickly changes the subject, asking her if she wants some of the dope. She answers that she doesn't because it makes her hungry.
Meanwhile at the pub the big gay night is hardly a success, since there are no desperate women there. Maxxie, Anwar and Chris then decide to go to Abigail's party. Sid is outside with Cassie who is on the trampoline. Meanwhile inside the house, Chris, Tony and Anwar get into a fight with the posh lads and a Polish girl takes a fancy to Chris. Sid and Cassie kiss, and Cassie reveals that Michelle knows that he fancies her. She tells him that Michelle also knows Tony does not actually love her and that she thinks Sid is sweet. Cassie then asks Sid again if he wants to have sex but he will have to be quick because she has taken a lot of pills. Sid then asks her what pills she has taken but she loses consciousness. Sid quickly carries her indoors where Tony, Chris & Maxxie are still fighting with the posh lads.
They have to get Cassie to the hospital, so the Polish girl suggests they take Abigail’s parents car. Tony drives the car and almost crashes on numerous occasions with Chris and the Polish girl in the back kissing. By the time they arrive at the hospital Cassie wakes up. They then drive around and stop next to a harbour so Anwar can "take a piss." Tony and Sid discuss how to sell the dope by tomorrow. Tony decides to have some but his skins are in his back pocket so Sid has to get them. While getting them, he then inadvertently releases the car's handbrake causing the car to roll into the harbour. Anwar anxiously runs over to see if his friends are okay. They are. Sid realises that the dope is gone and Cassie ironically says, "at least we have our health." The six friends then walk home wet (most of the core cast present, except chris) and thinking about the night before.
The episode ends with the woman in the house across from Tony's going to her window naked to see Tony, as she does every day. Her husband wakes up and tells her that anyone would think she wanted the neighbours to see her. Tony and Sid are lying in Tony's bed when Sid asks if Chris and the Polish girl got out the car before it went into the Harbour and Tony says they did. Then Tony asks Sid if he is still a virgin, and he replies "Yeah."
