I don't have screencaps of the trailer but if you've seen it, all our main characters are falling from the sky naked and hit the ground fully clothed to an Arcade Fire song in the background. It might be well the best trailer since Season 2 from an artistic standpoint and if you watch it, it might also give us clues as to how each character interacts with each other as well.
In terms of the characters, a couple of brief thoughts from what I got from their profiles on the E4 site ... Mini's clearly a mashup of Michelle/Katie but if she veers more towards the latter, it could be fine. Nick's definitely the Tony/Cook of this group so I can't imagine warming to him all too quickly. Franky is probably the most unique one of the bunch if they're going into the gender identity root. Matty's profile seems to indicate that he's a less zany version of Cassie but possible a more interesting version of Freddie. Also how many teen lads have My Own Private Idaho in a list of fave movies?
As for Grace, I think she is definitely the Jal of the bunch on a musical front if not a logic one. Liv, I'm not too sure - a female Chris or a slightly less damaged Effy? Alo is definitely another Sid type of character, except he's into Victorian porn rather than the Asian variety and Rich sounds like a moody git to be honest but maybe he'll be better on screen perhaps.
Season 5 starts on E4 from January 27th at 10pm, so there's only four weeks to go and with the American version also looming around next month, it will be a very interesting time for the Skins franchise.Season 5 Credits: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhD7548i0VM
