Anyone with even a passing interest in grime music or East London spirit will be well served by Grime Kids.

Working with Theresa Ikoko and the mighty Mammoth Screen is a real honour, and I can’t wait for everybody to see this. Set in the early 2000s, Grime Kids explores how the environment in which a person grows up affects their choices, actions and the kind of people they surround themselves with. In an effort to change that, she dives into "a world of dating, parties and first kisses", but she quickly learns that "not everything in life can be planned for".

While books like Wiley’s Eskiboy keep it from being the uncontested champ, it will surely be one of the go-to texts for years to come. As catastrophic floods submerge Britain, a young woman and her newborn baby struggle to find safe haven in a crumbling, dangerous society. One scene intercuts the action with increasingly chaotic Polaroids as their night out gets messier and messier; watching it, I felt a pang of wistfulness for my teenage years. John and Jane Smith are two strangers who have been placed together by a "mysterious agency" to undertake a series of espionage missions.But he’s also the one sneaking them into gigs where they get to see their heroes up close and personal – and when the boys decide to start their own music crew, Kai’s the only one charismatic enough to lead it. His wife of 50 years believes that he's cheating on her with other women, when in fact he's been having "a secret, decades-long passionate affair with his best friend and soulmate, Morris". The six-part drama is inspired by the stories Sir Lenny Henry's mother told him about what it was like leaving Jamaica for the UK in the 1950s.

I bet every night of their lives is the best night of their lives,” Dane says wistfully, nursing a split lip. They’re a fractured old group: Kai moved to Bristol years ago, and his reemergence onto the scene causes shockwaves. Isobel's arrival in London "creates mounting tensions, unravels bonds, and exposes secrets with shocking and tragic consequences", according to a synopsis. Target captures a time before YouTube and Spotify that probably can’t exist again, when sharing new tracks meant pressing dub plate records, and to see what your favourite MCs looked like you had to see them in person. In one post cited by the lawsuit, Mr Musk referred to the confrontation as a ""probably false flag situation".The first time seeing all five leads together was such a magical moment; we knew instantly that we had something special with them. One moment they’re drinking alcohol for the first time ever (“I’ll have a sherry,” Bayo innocently tells the bartender); the next, they’re getting kicked out of a gig and watching their favourite artists perform through the window. On 2 October, a California man sued Mr Musk over claims he was harassed because of a false post - amplified by Musk - that put him at the scene of a far-right protest in Oregon in June. Those young people will be portrayed by up-and-coming stars: Shanu Hazzan (EastEnders, The Gentleman), Juwon Adedokun (We Love Moses, Damilola, Our Loved Boy), Gabriel Robinson (Casualty, Silent Witness), Tienne Simon (Silent Witness) and Yus Jamal Crookes, who’s making his debut TV appearance. The writing highlights these different dynamics through toxic friendships, jealousy and familial rifts.

Grime Kids: BBC Three drama to explore emergence of grime

The festival will close with the World Premiere of Kibwe Tavares and Daniel Kaluuya’s dystopian drama, The Kitchen. A love letter to east London, the series is set and filmed in Bow, celebrating the culture, community and creatives that gave birth to a then new genre: grime. This helps emphasise the theme of these young boys as constantly tied together by their friendship and love for music. Household names were borne out of those housing estates, and the music industry now jumps to the beat of their gritty reality rather than the tune of glossy aspiration. Steve McQueen’s cinematic commemoration of the Holocaust offers a multidimensional experience full of gravity and sublimity.

Prepping for maturity, they aim to live their summer to the fullest having fun, while also securing their future in the music industry. At times, yes: the slo-mo action and choral music that plays every time the boys have an epiphany of some sort rapidly grows tired. The 4 eight-part series revolves around Queenie Jenkins, a 25-year-old Jamaican British woman from South London. Aziza Barnes (BLKS) is penning and exec producing the adaptation of Brit Bennett's book of the same name.
