Open source Internet TV drama

There's this idea to create an internet-run drama series that is completely run by members of the public. I'm not sure how it would work, but if it sounds interesting to you then you should check it out.

Any chance you work for them?

Would be nice if the text in the middle column of the website wasn't occluded by the right hand column (Firefox) because of that mahoosive image - I've only got 1280 pixels. And the outer columns seem to be invisible in IE8.

Nice idea, but doomed to almost certain failure. It's like that Chalkhill thing that was supposed to be the world's first "community soap opera", with all the actors and crew drawn from the local community. They tried it on local community channels first and nobody outside the cast and crew ever gave a toss, and now they're trying to relaunch it as online-only, and still nobody gives a toss. There just aren't enough people who are interested in watching the work of amateur actors and writers working with zero budgets to make it worthwhile. If you're lucky you'll get people watching the first few minutes just out of idle curiosity, and then they'll go "This is ****" and head off to watch something funny on YouTube.
