Along with the ‘traditional’ 90 minute telemovie, it’s supported by webisodes (web-only content), YouTube strands, and social networking sites. Along with those, are ‘real’ websites related to the fictional people and organisations that appear in the show, and user generated content - UGC for the initiated - which is comprised of reports from those watching the show about the issues in the show.
