Dramarama
Dramarama may be the name of a kids' anthology series broadcast on ITV between 1983 and 1989. It tended to comprise drama of a science fiction or even supernatural bent. The series was made by Anna Home, then head of children's and youth programming at TVS production responsibilities were divided amongst the majority of the regional ITV franchise holders. Each episode was in training a oneoff production having its cast and crew, around and including the executive producer.
Dramarama was a place to establish themselves and was a launch pad for the likes of Anthony Horowitz, Paul Abbott, Kay Mellor, Janice Hally, Tony Kearney, David Tennant and Annmarie Di Mambro. This had been one of the last credits of Dennis Spooner.
One among Dramarama's episodes, including"Dodger, Bonzo And The Rush", gained so much popularity it was turned directly into its own series the following year. It starred Lee Ross and was located around a nurture house that was large. The episode"Blackbird Singing In The Dead of Night" was developed by Granada into the TV series Kids's Ward. It was repeated for the first time since its first broadcast throughout the 30th anniversary Old Skool Weekend of CITV January 2013, on 5. The Series 7 episode"Back To Front" -- noteworthy for featuring a mirror image of their Yorkshire Television logo card at the ending -- has been repeated on 6 January 2013, again as part of CITV's 30th anniversary Old Skool Weekend.
