—SkinsMy 129867493567 thought on Skins & Dr Foster
So maybe if Skins implied some depth there, clearly it not only didn’t work, but was presented as the most ridiculous joke ever. I myself could never find a common ground with Skins writers or Skins fandom and the way they see things and people (being a teen virgin is being “useless”, being a decent person who doesn’t climb the roofs of houses he was not invited in or abuse people around because of personal dramas is a “funsponge”, a guy who would beat up a random by passer because he couldn’t stand how a girl he had feelings for kissed his friend is actually ~ ~ brave, etc, etc) but Dr Foster thing is the highlight of the fact that apparently Skins idea of originality and creativity is different from mine (and from half of the audience too, taking how bad the raitings were after 4X07). Dr Foster was nothing but a ridiculous and retarded WTF!LOL attempt to look edgy and original, because when writers can’t come up with something really smart and well written they come up with that. Then of course we had JB’s alter ego Cook challenging and fighting his another creation in a form of Doctor Foster, because Cook is “strong” and Freddie is “weak” according to the show that presents abusive and violent nature as the “brave” and edgy one. But what do we have in the end? Nothing. Utter stupidity highlighted by Pandora making it to Harvard while not being able to tell the difference between Hamlet and Harry Potter. Yeah, that makes sense and really has a lot of depth. Except that I don’t get it.
- Cook: What have you done?
- Dr Foster: Don’t be stupid cook, she told me all about you too. There was much to correct in that girl, I almost managed it. Perhaps I still can.
- Cook: You… you did something to my friend.
- Dr Foster: This is wasting time. Would you kneel down, please?
- Cook: Mr Foster.
- Dr Foster: Dr Foster, actually. Kneel down, please.
- Cook: *shakes head*
- Dr Foster: *hits him with the bat*
- Cook: [Laughs] I don’t think you know what I am, mate.
- Dr Foster: I think I do. You’re nothing. You don’t deserve that girl. And, you know… I do.
- Cook: I’m a fucking waste of space. I’m just a stupid kid. I got no sense. A criminal. I’m no fucking use, me. I am nothing. So, please… please… get it into your, you know, into your bonce that you killed my friend. And… I’m Cook… I’M COOK!

The 2012 Hospital Guide launches - number five for Alex
The latest Dr Foster Hospital Guide was released today, and for the fifth year running was edited and authored by ZPB’s very own Alex Kafetz. In fact the ZPB team have been involved with ten editions of the Guide now, all of which can be viewed and downloaded from here.
Coverage so far today has reached the front page of the Guardian, the Telegraph, BBC, and national and local papers across the country. Alex made an appearance on BBC Breakfast this morning, and Roger Taylor, Co-Founder and Director of Research at Dr Foster has been interviewed on SKY, ITN, BBC London and the Today programme (listen to Roger speaking here). The data is also being featured on tonight’s Panorama programme at 8:30pm, entitled “How Safe is your Hospital?”.
Keep up to date on all the latest developments by searching for #drfhg on twitter, or to explore some of the data yourself, visit the new “Hospital Guide: Efficiency and Mortality” website.
