WHAT THE PRESS HAD TO SAY:
"W10 LDN" is that rare thing on television, a drama with a predominantly black cast that doesn’t feel patronising. It’s written with purpose and credibility and has a genuinely contemporary feel. Clarke’s savvy, witty script portrays an unfamiliar world with originality." Daily Telegraph
"....makes Eastenders look like an Enid Blyton story. It’s told with wit and even warmth, the sense of place being vibrantly brought to life. For a television drama, it definitely merits that overused term "bold"." The Times
"W10 mixes some fine performances from the young cast...and manages to create an intriguing world that offers enough potential for a decent full-length series.... leads Ashley Madekwe and Duane Henry hold things together nicely." The Guardian
"Luckily, the pilot already has the feel of a TV series: it crams pimps, parties, theft, drugs, and love into one hour, and leaves you wanting more. Ashley Madekwe and Duane Henry pack a punch in the lead roles, while the others (including Ashley Walters and, of course, Clarke) also sparkle." Independent on Sunday

WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT -
Starring Noel Clarke and Ashley Walters, WEST 10 LDN is a vibrant new drama that delves into the intense and passionate lives of the teenagers who live on West London’s Greenside estate.
Love, danger, drugs, families, violence and tenderness power a story that opens the door into a world only ever seen on TV when a shooting makes the news.
Eighteen-year-old Elisha arrives at Greenside and runs straight into trouble. When her belongings are stolen, she risks everything to get them back because she has a secret to hide. Youth-club worker Lacey and aspiring writer Michael are legends in their own neighbourhood, whereas Orin finds himself in more danger than he’s ever known...
Elisha is played by Ashley Madekwe (Drop Dead Gorgeous), Lacey by Ashley Walters (Hustle), Michael by Noel Clarke (Doctor Who) and Orin by Duane Henry (Jericho). WEST 10 LDN is directed by Menhaj Huda and written by Noel Clarke, the team behind KiDULTHOOD.
WEST 10 LDN is based on "Society Within" written by Courttia Newland. The Greenside family comes to life on BBC Three in the very near future.
