Our award-winning interactive youth drama on TV, DVD and the web uses powerful drama narrative to engage young people on issues such as sex and relationships, sexual health, teenage pregnancy, alcohol and drugs use.

Viewers can go online and advise the six characters, follow their ups and downs across the 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 on the Showcase area of the L8R website.

L8R won the pan European Multimedia Award at the Basel_Karlsruhe Forum 2007 and the 2005 Royal Television Society Interactive Education Award. It has also received two BAFTA nominations.

L8R is now used by over 10,000 young people across some 250 secondary schools, youth agencies and informal education settings across the UK.
