We've seen Effy burn bright in Fire and Cassie learn what's important in life in Pure... now it's time for Cook to Rise as Jack O'Connell's bad boy returns to Skins for what looks to be the E4 drama's final episodes.
Digital Spy got hold of Skins co-creator Jamie Brittain - who has penned the two-part Skins Rise - to talk Cook's return and whether Skins could ever return, plus his new Channel 4 series Dates and its accompanying Kindle e-book.
Why was Cook one of the chosen few picked to return to Skins for this final series?
"I just find Jack O'Connell to be one of the greatest actors around at the moment, and I just find him really exciting to work with. The character of Cook is also a very exciting character, so that's basically why - I just wanted to work with him again."

While Radiohead wasn't the first band to break free of the corporate machine and drop an album on their own terms, they were easily the most promiment. And while this was par for the course for underground artists and bands through the '80s and '90s who thrived within a specific independent framework (that was arguably co-opted by the mainstream post-Nirvana, but that's another discussion), the release of In Rainbows opened the eyes of acts of similar stature, proving that they didn't need to rely on the expensive machinations and iron clad contracts of a major record label to survive. And in fact, they could sell less records and earn more money by striking it out on their own. Nowadays, if a band isn't founding their own label, they're at least setting up vanity shingles under corporate umbrellas, and taking a stronger say in how they conduct their careers.

London, Oct 23: A judge in Yorkshire has come under fire after banning defendants from referring to female court staff as "love".
The traditional term of endearment was outlawed at Barnsley Magistrates' Court, where women must now be called "ma'am".
It follows a case when newly-appointed district judge John Foster blasted a defendant for saying "Yes, love" when a legal adviser checked his identity.
Judge Foster, 64, said: "It is important anyone who comes to court shows proper respect. Courts must maintain standards."
But locals are angry at the attack on the "affectionate" regional term.
"If the term is used in the right way I see nothing wrong with it. We've got to be careful we don't lose our regional.

John Foster (Christopher Dane) is fed up. He’s lost his job, bills are piling up, his partner keeps nagging him. Along with his friend and fellow couch potato Chris (Lee Boardman) he decides to put some silly things on “an online auction site” (*cough* eBay) including soiled underwear and himself. A regional news crew catches up with him one morning as the auction is drawing to a close and then follow him in real time as the clock counts down to the end of his selling of himself. He and Chris are bewildered by all of the attention, then seduced by the promise from ambitious reporter Maia (Jessica Blake) of fame and fortune, before things really start to get out of hand with locals and international news hotshots gathering outside his house, all keen to see what will happen. How much is a human life worth? – we are repeatedly asked to consider.

CEOs of two breakthrough, webby businesses show Fast Company how office policies built on frankness, trust, and occasionally awkward closeness engender a culture of success.
Inside the multi-million dollar video streaming giant, Hulu, CEO Jason Kilar has gone to extraordinary lengths to subvert his own power: he has no office, has a makeshift desk partly built from empty boxes, and personally takes each new hire out to lunch to learn what he or she thinks the company can do better. "You will not attract and retain the world's best builders in a command-and-control environment," Kilar tells Fast Company.
Last weekend, Hulu and fellow Internet prodigy, Groupon, were honored at the WorldBlu Live conference for their unusually strong commitment to worker empowerment. We sat down with these web successes to understand the driving philosophy, small-team orientation, and straight-up weird employee morale boosters that lie at the foundation of their innovative products.

Brotherhood ArtMuch like last year, several quality films are showing themselves at the American Film Market and this latest extracted shining nugget is called Brotherhood. Brotherhood is an action thriller from Cinema Management Group, which was completed this year. To show at the festival November 3rd, Brotherhood is a fraternity initiation gone very wrong. Robberies, shootings, and hostage takings all take place during the film's bloody runtime and this film has already won one award at the South-by-Southwest film festival (Best Narrative Feature). Give the film's trailer a shot below and pray for a wide release in Canada and other countries (Us already announced 2011).
The synopsis for Brotherhood is here:
"Adam Buckley finds himself having to rob a convenience store on the last night of pledging to a college fraternity. But when the initiation ritual goes horribly wrong and every subsequent move proved disastrous, Adam must take a stand to...
