Most confusion, however, stemmed not from that, nor from Effy's sudden overnight diagnosis of psychotic depression, but from the fact that Effy and Freddie treat their friends Emily and Katie Fitch's father like they've never met him before. Granted, the two plastered love birds are always mashed, gurning, baked, chewing their faces off, toking marijuana and dropping acid 24/7 (but in a totally non-lethal, still-living-with-parents, going-to-school way), and Father Fitch looks like he's having a bit of an off day, it's hard to imagine they could treat him like they have no idea who he is. My constant bewilderment as to the sheer discourtesy of some youngsters in Bristol means the episode is completely lost on me. Seriously, how rude...
Slowly it becomes clear. Stand-up comedian John Bishop who plays Father Fitch (he's anything but a priest - or a Bishop - Jaz just doesn't recall his first name) is not this man. This man is ex-Happy Mondays baggy nutter Bez who has very few acting skills (or skills of any kind) but possesses an unnerving likeness to the man Bishop. Was this a cheap trick by Skins' producers to make the audience feel utterly off their heads too, or is Jaz just going completely b-a-n-a-n-a-s?
P.S. MTV is planning an Americanised version of Skins. *Yawn*
