Things To Note: Robbie Fields did the music for this episode and says, "The toned down source music in Shirts and Skins [was] by the group Ch(annel) 3. They originally wanted to use music in a big way in the episode but decided at the last minute to tone it down, way down. The music would have helped make the fascists too attractive. As it was, the producers sought out music from an anti-fascist band; fortunately, CH 3's CD had a prominent anti-fascist disclaimer on it.
