Synopsis:
Stuart Harker is a depressed, failing writer. In a desperate attempt for recognition, he applies to become the subject of a reality TV programme. The programme requires him to have his memory 'purged' - in effect he suffers amnesia. The idea is that viewers get to watch him recover his memory. However, all reality programmes have a twist, and hence an actor is sent in to play Stuart's so-called best friend, 'Mark', who will try to throw Stuart off his road to recovery by trying to create false memories of times they apparently spent together. However, alarm is raised by psychologist Dr. Paul Lancashire when Stuart begins to suffer delusions, imagining himself part of his own story ideas, but producer Richard is unwilling to let go of his project

Drama Club, (Calday Grange Grammar School) |
Synopsis:
After a time of great social unrest, calm has been restored. However, society is now oblivious to who its masters really are - the Commission, a totalitarian, yet evasive organisation, hidden from those they control. Doclan is an investigative reporter and he has uncovered some loose ends that the Commission have failed to tie up which may allow him to find out about their existence. Just as Doclan is about to make a break through and expose the Commission to the public, he is 'deleted' through a process known as 'Temporal Phasing'. Doclan is now similarly hidden from society - yet before the Commission can bring him to their base, he is intercepted by a mysterious band of rebels, led by Nametes, who is determined to bring down the Commission, whatever the cost
