Lip Service

A modern relationship drama following the lives of a group of 20-something lesbians living in Glasgow, Lip Service stars Laura Fraser, Ruta Gedmintas and Fiona Button.

Cat (Laura Fraser) is a self-assured architect, who is unnerved by the return of her former lover Frankie (Ruta Gedmintas). Frankie is a spirited photographer who is emotionally off-the-rails, attracting trouble at every turn. Struggling actress Tess (Fiona Button) is Cat's best friend and flatmate, who has an uncanny knack of falling for the wrong sorts of women.

Lip Service is a sexy six-part series created by Harriet Braun (Mistresses, Attachments). It is produced by Kudos Film And Television (Ashes To Ashes, Spooks, Life On Mars) through ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Scotland, and also stars Emun Elliot, James Anthony Pearson, Roxanne McKee, Heather Peace and Tom Mannion.

³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Three will pilot three bold, new youthful dramas in 2010. Dappers, Pulse and Stanley Park demonstrate the channel's continued support of original UK drama and commitment to experimentation.

Dappers

Delivering a cheerful poke in the eye to all the "single mums/council-flats/failing Britain" headlines, welcome to the world of Dappers.

This one-off 30-minute Bristol-based comedy-drama is written by Catherine Johnson, best known for Mamma Mia, the hit musical that went on to be the highest grossing UK film of all time.

Faye and Ashley are young mothers and best mates – "dappers" in their native Bristolian – who live in housing-association flats in well-to-do Clifton. A pair of sparky chancers, they are devoted to their toddler daughters and fiercely loyal to each other. When not being ferociously competitive, they have high hopes of a better life and will stop at very little to achieve this – from Doggy Day Care to opening a pop-up restaurant.

"They're Del Boy and Rodders in a thong," says Faye's ex, a smooth hunk called Marco. Ashley's boyfriend is cheeky bad boy Ryan, half a step from a stretch. These dappers share laughs, banter and barneys with a chirpy resolve and "two fingers" to the snot-bags who've never dreamed.

Pulse

St Timothy's is one of the UK's top teaching hospitals, home to some of the country's most promising trainee doctors. But beneath its veneer of medical normality lies a secret network of dangerous experiments pushing back the boundaries of science with potentially horrifying consequences in this one-off 60-minute medical horror drama written by Paul Cornell.

Hannah Carter's mother was a consultant at the hospital, but died suddenly a year ago. Grief left Hannah (Claire Foy) teetering on the edge, but following a year off, she's back to resume her training. But Hannah remains fragile, so when she starts glimpsing peculiar events in the hospital and unsettling behaviour from her ex-boyfriend and star surgeon Nick (Stephen Campbell Moore), she's unsure what to believe.

Ignoring the pleas of those around her, Hannah puts her sanity on the line to uncover the truth about the hospital.

Stanley Park

Written by Leo Richardson and inspired by his stage play, Stanley Park is a sharply observed, character-based ensemble comedy drama pilot for ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Three.

Set in a south London suburb, it tells the story of a group of young friends enduring the poignant, painful, hilarious and often confusing emotional upheavals during a life-changing period. All living on the same street, it’s hard to keep secrets, and it seems everyone has something they’re hiding, or hiding from.

Stanley Park looks at the desperation, aspirations and motivations of this group of young people and their families in a moving and humorous way.
