Forget the rules - viewers vote to direct the drama

An Australian team has launched what it claims to be the world’s first interactive comedy drama series, available on television, mobile and broadband platforms, reports informitv.com.

"Forget the Rules follows the three-way friendship of Lisa, Pepe and Pony, living in a shared household in Melbourne.

The show screens three times a week in three-minute micro-dramas on the Australian music network Channel V, on 3 mobile phones, and is available over broadband on the web.

Each week ends with a dilemma, inviting the audience to vote on what happens next. The production team then write, shoot and edit the follow-up over the weekend. The show is designed to run as a continuing serial, and has a commitment for at least a 52-week run. The programme format is available for international distribution."
