Youngers (2013-2014)
Two main characters: Yemi and Jay

• Yemi is a smart, capable 16 year old boy who wants to get out of his neighbourhood and become something more; do more with his life. 
• Jay is a stereotypical teenager who wants to become the next big thing in music- rap music. 

First Episode:

We see the two boys go off to collect their GCSE results; Yemi is hoping for good grades so he can get into Chairwood College and study music production (despite his parents wanting him to be a lawyer or doctor) where as Jay is not really that bothered by them.

When they collect their results, Yemi receives all A grades where as Jay fails nearly all his exams. Jay acts as though he is not annoyed but it is clear that he did not expect to do so badly.

It is clear that the boys are polar opposites but they both share a love of music and so enter a local music talent competition to see whether they have what it takes.
