Alice In Practice



This is possibly my favourite scene in a TV show ever. No other scene even comes close. This is from the Channel 4 TV show, Skins, which is a teenage drama. And what I mean by drama is real drama combined with the comically absurd. It's really good.

This scene is of Sid (the guy with the Beanie) breaking down in the middle of the club. Earlier that morning, he found his dad dead on the couch, probably of a heart attack caused by his excessive smoking. Sid goes to school normally trying to numb himself from the pain, and tells only Tony, the other guy in this video. Tony brings him to the club to try and escape for a bit, and in the middle of Crystal Castle's Alice Practice, Sid is overwhelmed by the sadness and breaks down in front of Tony. If you've seen the whole show, it is one of the most touching scenes you'll ever see.

Great song too. Crystal Castle with 'Alice Practice.' This song has been stuck in my head since I heard it on Skins, which was months ago.
