"A lot of kids would quite like to be him," says Joe Dempsie about his character, party animal Chris, in Skins.

"I feel no pressure to be a role model. Our audience can make up their own minds. They're not idiots. Skins is one of the first programmes about young people that doesn't preach to them. It doesn't tell kids that they're going to die if, I don't know, they smoke a joint or whatever."

Last series, Dempsie spent most of one episode in the buff. "I wasn't aware of how naked I was going to have to be - it took a lot of nerve."
