Urban music drama series, Dubplate Drama, has been recommissioned by Channel 4 and MTV to produce 12 half hour episodes for an autumn 2007 airing.

The world’s first viewer led interactive multi platform television show which premiered in 2005 on Sony Playstation’s PSP will be shown on Channel 4, E4, 4 On Demand, MTV One, MTV Base, MySpace and all mobile networks from Thursday September 20th.

The series invites viewers to vote on how its plot unfolds via a cliffhanger multiple-choice dilemma at the end of every episode. Dubplate Drama has signed into an exclusive partnership with the NSPCC to promote ChildLine, its free 24-hour helpline for children and young people. The charity has been consulted on the script development and storylines across the series will broach sensitive issues such as bullying, drugs, depression, families, homelessness and pregnancy – problems children talk to ChildLine about on a daily basis.

Music is central to Dubplate Drama. Series One was set to the sound of grime, a genre of music made by inner-city kids in London which propelled Dizzee Rascal into the mainstream. Times have changed, and Dubplate Drama reflects that – alongside music by grime stars JME and Jammer, the soundtrack is heavily laden with dubstep, a south London hybrid of reggae, jungle and UK Garage that is fast reaching into the mainstream.

Channel 4 has released wallpapers to accompany the show, these can be downloaded here.
