BBC Two - Now's the Hour

Teenagers create a play to help prepare for the decision on Scottish independence.

In September 2014, the population of Scotland must decide whether they want their country to be independent. This follows teenagers creating a play to prepare for the decision.

Scotland is on the cusp of change. In September 2014, the population of Scotland, including 16- and 17-year-olds for the first time, must decide whether or not they want their country to be independent. With apathy and infighting amongst the adult electorate, how is a teenager to decide? Now's the Hour follows a group of teenagers as they join Scottish Youth Theatre to create and stage a play which aims to help them prepare as they approach what could be the biggest political decision of their lives.

BBC Two is a lively channel of depth and substance, carrying a range of knowledge-building programming complemented by great drama, comedy and arts.
