6Degrees + Love Life + My Murder

Some recent drama:

6Degrees from BBC Northern Ireland

Love Life from ITV

My Murder from BBC Three
"Documentary drama based on the 2008 murder on 16-year-old Shakilus Townsend, who bled to death after being attacked in Thornton Heath, south London. The teenager becomes close to Samantha Joseph, believing his feelings for her are reciprocated, but she lures him into a lethal ambush by her ex-boyfriend and his gang. The film features testimony from the victim's mother, Nicola Dyer, and stars John Boyega in the lead role."

Pramface + Whites

Pramface is a new sitcom on BBC Three. It will be returning for another series next year. Nice to see Angus Deayton, but this one is just another of the many comedies that seem to be targeted at 13 year olds.
