Adaptation<br />

The Adaptation<br />

The <strong>TV</strong> series starts with Jem joining the YPD. (This is the big<br />

revelation at the beginning of the second book - Father Thames<br />

- but it has been brought forward for the <strong>TV</strong> adaptation). With<br />

Jem a cop in the YPD from episode 2, the scene is set for<br />

a futuristic cop thriller. Serial rule breaker Jem is teamed up<br />

with methodical details freak Nick. A question mark hangs over<br />

Jem’s motives. Is she bought into the YPD or will she be swayed<br />

by the tempting chaos of her mother’s secretive organisation<br />

Father Thames?<br />

• Environmental themes are explored without preaching.<br />

Children blame adults for what they did to the world.<br />

• The two teenage leads are in the driving seat, in positions of<br />

power...<br />

• However, with empowerment comes responsibility as they<br />

are encounter new dilemmas in each episode.<br />

Episodes<br />

• We’re flexible about formats - e.g. 26 x 22 mins or 13 by 22<br />

mins are options.<br />

• There are 4 books and a detailed world to draw upon.<br />

• ‘Propulsive serialization’ techniques are used - where a new<br />

story line develops every 3 or 4 episodes.<br />

• Each episode resolves so you can still watch them in any<br />

order - but ideally when you watch them sequentially them<br />

you’ll be gripped as the story progressively unfolds.
