This interactive pilot show for kids off from
school, involved searches, questions, puzzles, phoning in, and a comprehensive
use of email and the web for viewers' responses, whilst the programme was
on air. Real 'edutainment' with specially written studio-based drama by
multi award-winning author Peter Corie.
Composer Michael
Omer was musical director for the show, and
responsible for producing 'on the fly' instant music from a special digital
technology - namely his ten digits (fingers!!). The title music was pre-written
by Michael, but all other cues for this 25 minute programme were improvised
on the spot!!!...true "music to picture"!
As the programme had a very free form, elements
such as 'phone-ins' - whilst giving instant feedback to the audience, also
made for unpredictable length of programme, and the music was instantly
adjusted to the required running time..."LIVE" on air!
Innovated by executive producer Sue Knott at BBC Education,
this production was virtuosically directed by Richard Simkin and Steve Smith .
