So yeah I can’t believe it either but I’ve just tidied my bedroom off my own back. Yeah that’s right, Mother didn’t ask me to. I’m actually that bored now that I’ve finished school for good that I’m resorting to this low, low level.

However I did manage to find the script that the auditionees used at the London Skins Party auditions from Toby’s camera bag.

Skins III – Freddie

Int. Skate Shop. Day

FREDDIE, (16), a gangling,shy, stoned boy with hair covering his face is browsing, looking at the different boards. He looks carefully at the garish designs.

A COOL SHOP ASSISTANT appears at his shoulder.

FREDDIE looks at BOARD with a huge, colourful VOLCOM logo on it.

 

COOL SHOP ASSISTANT -  That one’s the bollocks, mate. The bollocks. You a boarder?

 

FREDDIE – Yeah. No. Yeah.. No. No. (pause). Yeah.

 

COOL SHOP ASSISTANT – I cant tell you’re a boarder. This is the one for you.

 

He thrusts the BOARD into FREDDIE’s arms. FREDDIE looks at it doubtfully.

 

FREDDIE – Yeah, um. The thing is… er, is there, is there like, one, with… one with… one that doesn’t look like complete shit?

 

COOL SHOP ASSISTANT is flabbergasted.

 

FREDDIE (cont’d) – Yeah I think I want one that doesn’t look like complete shit.

 

(pause)

 

FREDDIE (cont’d) – Actually, is there one that doesn’t have any logos of designs or patterns or anything really, really rubbish on it?

 

COOL SHOP ASSISTANT (horrified) – A blank one? With no logos?

 

FREDDIE – Yeah, i think I sort of want to just ride it.. not, you know, look at it. And stuff.

 

COOL SHOP ASSISTANT – No. There are no blank ones.

 

FREDDIE – Oh right. Cool. Ok. Um. Can you, sort of… like… not be here anymore?

 

The COOL SHOP ASSISTANT is too confused to move.

 

FREDDIE (cont’d) – Yeah. Cause I think I think you’re a wanker and I don’t want to talk to you anymore.

 

FREDDIE smiles sweetly. The COOL SHOP ASSISTANT walks away.

FREDDIE looks at the BOARD again and starts softly humming the ‘Blackadder’ theme tune to himself.
