Welcome to Leighton Bassett, the corporation's brand new interactive
soap, following the lives, loves and dramas of our exciting group of
characters, aged between 18 and 60. It is an unique experiment in
serial drama, where the listener has total control of creative process.
We don't know what happens next. You chose what happens to our cast of
characters, from a menu of options devised by our in-house writing
team.
Last week's voting results are as follows:
| Option 1) Barbara decides to start up her own business - 0 votes |
| Option 2) Ed discovers he is adopted - 4 votes |
| Option 3) Emma quits university to become a pop singer - 2 votes |
| Option 4) Something else - 15,540 votes |
Yes 99.9% of the listeners voted for Option 4), something else.
According to our poll you voted that all the characters should die in a
massive explosion - every single one of them.
So this week in
Leighton Bassett, we start again with a brand new cast of characters:
Angela, Tim and Sunil. Voting starts now. The opening scene begins with
Angela and Sunil moving into their new home in Leighton Bassett, when
their neighbour Tim pays them a visit. What happens next?

'I've worked as drama producer for over twenty years, winning
numerous awards, and used to think that the key to great dramas was
well-written scripts and actors. But after a meeting with the Head of
Creative Imaginings, I realised that embracing new ways of interacting
with audiences was crucial to my long-term future. So I'm delighted to
be working on this exciting new project.' Edward Tolworth. Edward produced the much-loved serial drama Black Tears, set in a depressed coal-mining village in Lancashire.
