The content of the drama has been developed to tackle hard issues and give young people a forum to stimulate thought, dialogue and debate. Produced by the production team behind Waterloo Road, Being Victor follows the lives of Vinnie Dupe, his online alter-ego; blogger Victor Sage, and his friends through college, family, work and the trials and tribulations of teenage life. The series operates on several digital platforms and uses a variety of different mediums to engage audiences, including on-screen drama, blogging, music, animation and social networking.

 

The drama focuses on five themes that are key in the lives of 21^st century teenagers: Relationships, Online Identity, Sex and Promiscuity, Depression and Young Carers. TrueTube has carefully developed each teaching unit to utilise these themes alongside relevant episodes of Being Victor as a stimulus for PSHE and tutorial sessions. Each unit begins with a teacher overview for the four activities in the unit. This lists the learning objectives and provides the main curriculum references for PSHE: Personal Wellbeing at Key Stages 3 and 4.  For each activity there is also a two-sided lesson outline that can be reproduced for students. This comprises a step-by-step guide to the lesson and associated worksheet. Each lesson can be completed in 45 minutes but can also be extended and adapted to suit personal priorities if required.
