Channel 4 launches TV's first interactive drama
From the Guardian:
Television audiences have grown used to expelling Big Brother contestants, forcing minor celebrities to eat jungle insects, and crushing the dreams of tuneless pop hopefuls. A new Channel 4 drama will take the trend to its logical conclusion, offering viewers the chance to shape an entire storyline by voting on the direction it should take and allowing them to play god with the fate of its central characters.
Interestingly, it will also be made available to be watched on the PSP, and (in a cut-down version) on the 3 network.
