Claire''s older brother, Daniel, has disappeared. He leaves work one Friday afternoon, shortly before Christmas, and vanishes into thin air. Married, successful, rich, there seems no reason why he would abandon his life. Has he been killed? Has he been kidnapped? Or has he just had enough?
Set between London and Miami, this is the story of a family with ghosts to bury. It opens on the day of the Challenger shuttle explosion at Cape Canaveral: a tragic moment that rips this family apart and sets Daniel''s disappearance in motion some 18 years later. In the midst of it all sits Claire—divorced, irresponsible, fluent in six foreign languages yet hopeless at interpreting life. It is Claire who knows Daniel best. It is Claire who becomes convinced that she knows where her older brother is and sets off on a journey to find him.

Is the world ready for The Velveteens? An all-girl punk band try to make it to the top Get your crimper out, your mohawk ready and your best punk pout on - the Queens of Noise have arrived! Set in 1980s London, this modern music drama charts the rise of a girl punk band. Packed with classic hits as well as the girls very own songs, this is a drama with punk power for any music lover. Writers and music industry veterans Louise Wener (ex-singer of Sleeper) and Roy Boulter (drummer with The Farm) bring their wealth of experience to this story of a young band chasing their dream and getting their big break.In Shout to the Top it's 1988, we meet the girls fizzing with energy and potential, starting out in London. We discover how they went from 'young women with a dream' to the formation of The Velveteens, to first gig; from first demo to (hopefully) first record deal.In series one, Get It On the story follows the three ambitious young women, Sylvie, Beth and Rain, and their unique band, The Velveteens, take on the world. Armed with loud guitars, attitude to burn, and a makeshift manager, the band is on the verge of signing to a major record company. However, they still only have pennies in their pockets. Can they make it in the days before the digital revolution changed the business forever?In the second series, Rip It Up, the music drama continues as the girls conquer America. The three bold band members embark on a roller-coaster ride on the road to who-knows-where, and calling the shots is their new manager, Sam Shephurst. Can he take them to champagne heights or are they on the road to Top of the Flops...?Actor, singer and comedian Shane Richie (EastEnders) stars as the band's temporary manager, Vince. This brilliant drama was commissioned by BBC Radio 2's Head of Music and is packed with industry insight from the experts. Music production for this listening treat was taken care of by producers Brian Rawling (Bowie, Kylie, Cher, Craig David, One Direction and more) and Marky Bates (Faithless, Dido).CreditsWritten by Roy Boulter and Louise WenerDirected by Toby SwiftPilot Episode - Shout To The Top Vince - Shane RichieBeth - Fiona MacraeSylvie - Samantha RobinsonRain - Hannah ArtertonMaggie - Liza SadovyRuss - Ben CroweDavid - Adam NagaitisJournalist - Joe SimsSeries 1 - Queens of Noise: Get It OnBeth - Anneika RoseSylvie - Samantha RobinsonRain - Hannah ArtertonMaggie - Liza SadovyVince - Ben CroweDavid - Adam NagaitisJournalist - Joe SimsChristy - Clare CorbettAlec - Damian LynchRichard - Matthew WatsonJoyce/Stylist - Jane SlavinLucas/Shop Assistant - Mark Edel-HuntSam - Joe AbsolomMike - Michael BertenshawSeries 2 - Queens of Noise: Rip It UpBeth - Anneika Rose Sylvie - Samantha RobinsonRain - Hannah ArtertonSam - Joe AbsolomJoyce - Janes SlavinJournalist/Mavis - Elaine ClaxtonTJ - Clive HaywardChristy - Clare CorbettUS cop - Damian LynchMono - Harry MyersRichard/Digby - Matthew Watson (c)2025 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd (P)2025 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd
