Grime Kids: What is new ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ drama set in Bow in 2001?

It's the early noughties and a new genre of music is emerging from the electronic dance scene - helped by underground and pirate radio stations.

Grime - which draws influences from garage, drum and bass and dancehall - eventually went mainstream a few years later thanks to artists like Dizzee Rascal, Kano, Lethal Bizzle, and Wiley.

But it's also the focus of a new ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Three drama called 'Grime Kids', about how the genre went from subculture to global success story.

It charts the rise of a group of teenagers growing up in 2001 - who live in the UK home of grime in Bow, east London - dreaming of being able to make their voice heard through music.

The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Manish Pandey has been chatting with the cast.
