"A web series is a series of scripted videos, generally in episodic form, released on the Internet or also by mobile or cellular phone, and part of the newly emerging medium called web television. A single instance of a web series program can be called an episode or webisode, however the latter term is falling into disuse."

Task 6: Formats - Series, Serials and Single drama

"Skins does have an unusual narrative structure; it is both a serial, in that episodes follow one another chronologically, and also a series, each programme is self contained. The programme focuses on one character from the ‘gang’ in each episode, and most of the rest of the gang will appear in each ‘others’ programme; the ‘focus’ character must always be onscreen unless they’ve just left or are about to arrive (the exceptions are the final episode (Everyone: 9) and ‘Effy’ (8) which cross cuts between Effy ‘on the loose’ and Tony’s search for her."
