Gen 2 is starting to feel like the only thing that isnt ancient.

"Once more into the fray, once more"
Since Diana seems to enjoy information about Gen 1 filming sites, I venture to repost my last post from the last "SKINS series 2" thread, to which no one ever responded:
The church where the opening scene of series 2 was shot The church in which the opening scene of series 2 of SKINS -- Maxxie dancing for Tony -- was shot is St. Paul's Church on Portland Square, just north of Castle Park. Bristol. In 2005 that church, while remaining consecrated and owned by the Church of England, was converted into a venue for the performing arts, and given over chiefly to the use of Circomedia, a center for training in circus and theater performance arts. Hence the paucity of pews and the wooden floor with inlaid runways in the nave. Eastern (sanctuary) window of St. Paul's Church, Portland Square, Bristol Nave of St. Paul's Church after 2005 renovation as performing arts center. Exterior of St. Paul's Chruch, west entrance Evidence: As you can see from the linked pictures above, both the five-panel stained glass window at the eastern (sanctuary) end of the church and the unusual open wooden floor of the nave are identical to what is shown in the opening scene of SKINS s2e1. In addition, a 16 March 2012 post by Circomedia marketing officer Ali Campbell, entitled "What Lies Beyond the Blue Doors," on Discovering Places, the blog of The Churches Conservation Trust, states: Quote:
Visual symbolism in Tony's "Unseen Skins" clip and in the opening scenes of series 1 through 4 Finnegan I always love your posts they are always very interesting and well thought out. However according to 'Effy's video diary' Tony is alive and phoned her, so along with Effy's Cardiff university comment it seems gen 2 is not an alternate universe where Tony never recovered. I don't know if you have seen already/are interested in seeing, but there is an unseen of Tony having a nightmare.HPSkins -- Yes, Tony's "Unseen Skins" clip, like his video diary, is a joy. It's use of symbolism is brilliant. Sid kills Tony and becomes Tony. That foreshadows what happens in the course of Gen 1. The clip underscores that Sid and Tony are on one level two aspects of the same person. In the end, they merge; the part of Tony that needs killing is killed, while Sid, who merits Tony's confidence, acquires it. Sid-as-distinct-character gets packed off to New York/Elysium/Avalon, because he's redundant. And yes, in Gen 2, Tony is alive and doing well at Cardiff, as Effy tells Foster. In light of that, I now incline to view Gen 2 not as an alternative universe in which Tony doesn't recover, but rather as a scenario in which Effy, at least, fails to understand what happened to Tony in Gen 1. Effy's problems seem related to her thinking that the bus that hit Tony was a physical reality rather than a metaphor for the trauma of redemption. She realizes too late that "it happened but it didn't happen," i.e., that Tony's emotional change was real despite not having an exogenous physical origin. She runs out into traffic, shouting, "Hit me, I want to feel something," because she infers that only some exogenous shock like a bus can induce emotional change. What seems clear is Gen 2 is the road to hell, while Gen 1 is the path to heaven -- that Gen 2 is deliberately an "opposite" of Gen 1, a contrast to it. Note the ominously foreshadowing downward motion in the opening scenes of series 3 and 4: Freddie recklessly skateboarding down the steep slope of Park Street, a girl jumping to her death in the Syndicate club. __________________

Thank you, the church is beautiful! I wonder was it shot in the church intentionally, having some religious subtext, Maxxie being Tony's savior in a way.
A rather interesting parallel between Tony and Effy on the road, Effy was seeking for her own bus, too bad it never came __________________
