Routes

An innovative blend of fact and fiction, drama and documentary, Routes is a groundbreaking exploration of genetics and bio-ethics that uses a variety of platforms to engage a young audience. Whilst being underpinned by credible, cutting edge science, Routes is an exciting, entertaining experience that pulls you into its own mysterious universe.

The 'front door' of the format is an eight-part mini-series in which outspoken comedienne Katherine Ryan submits herself to a series of genetic tests. Is there such a thing as a gay gene? How much do genes affect personality? What can my genes tell me about my risk of disease? On this personal journey, Katherine will have to make some difficult decisions about how much she really wants to know about what's hidden inside her DNA. But her journey is just the beginning of yours

The site will also host a whole range of fun, engaging supporting material that will help our young audience engage further with the issues raised by the documentary. Each episode will be accompanied by a compelling flash game or 'community challenge' based on some aspect of genetics. Taking part in these games and challenges allows users to amass points. The highest scorers each week will be entered into a prize draw to win a games console. A grand prize is also up for grabs for the best players over the whole season.
