Dubplate (Interactive) Drama

A gritty television drama series set around Britain's urban music scene aims to push back broadcasting frontiers by letting its audience choose how the plot will develop.

The six-part Dubplate Drama, to be shown on...Channel 4 in November, will invite viewers to vote via telephone text message for one of two possible outcomes at the end of each week's 13-and-a-half minute episode.

The drama will be the first series to exploit modern television viewers' enthusiasm for audience participation, said youth marketing agency Livity, which is behind the show.
