Dubplate Drama Episode 9 on HearingTest

The rest of the season is there as well if you need to catch up.

I am totally hooked on Dubplate Drama… So I’ve collected as many episodes as I could find online in order to get you lot hooked as well! The show is revolutionary as far as television goes because it incorporates audience interaction into the entire story. It’s basically a “Choose Your Own Adventure” for television. I see a lot more tv shows going this route, especially with the possibilities in online media and the current writers’ strike. I loved Choose Your Own Adventure books when I was younger, so this makes me very happy indeed! The series is all about grime music and presents some tuff times trying to raise up in the UK music scene. Portraying some of the realities of urban UK life is itself pretty unusual for television. The stories are loosely based on MC Shystie’s real-life experiences, with some exaggerations (to make the series work) and with the audience choices shaping the plot. A lot of peeps are saying that this is the first time real life in Britain’s inner cities has been properly represented on tv. So, if you want to feel good about how easy you have it in life, this show might do the trick.
