Description: This award-winning interactive youth drama on TV, DVD and the web uses powerful drama narrative to engage young people on key issues such as sex and relationships, sexual health, teenage pregnancy, alcohol and drug use. Viewers can advise the six characters, follow their ups and downs across the eight episodes of the L8R series, visit characters’ bedrooms in the virtual L8R World, vote on what they should do next to influence future episodes, share their own experiences with trained online peer mentors, and publish their own work online on the Showcase area of the L8R website.

L8R won the Multimedia Award at the Basel_Karlsruhe Forum 2007 and the 2005 Royal Television Society Interactive Education Award. L8R has also received two BAFTA nominations for Best Children’s Interactive Programme (2006) and Best Schools Drama (2005).

L8R is used by over 10,000 young people who participate across more than 250 secondary schools, youth agencies and informal education settings throughout the UK.
