The Wire's Idris Elba on the Youth of Today

Wednesday, 10, Mar 2010 02:57

British teens are gearing up for a world first: an epic live and interactive chat show featuring leaders from the worlds of music, movies, sport, business and the community in general.

The Youth of Today Show is being created by teenagers for teenagers and will be broadcast online on Thursday March 18th.

Join stars such as R 'n' B star Craig David, The Wire actor Idris Elba AKA Stringer Bell and 2005 Apprentice winner Tim Campbell as well as Olympic gold medallist Dame Kelly Holmes, Kidulthood actor Aml Ameen and England footballer Gareth Barry for exclusive films and interviews.

They will be joined by a host of other celebrities to discuss everything from how they scored their big break to what they do at the weekends and what advice they would give their teenage selves.

The Youth of Today Show, hosted by young people alongside radio and TV presenter Edith Bowman, will feature inspirational stories from young people around the country who have succeeded against the odds. Their stories of triumph over adversity show how the youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow.

Dame Kelly Holmes, Edith Bowman and their guests join us live at http://www.webchats.tv/chat/stars_line_up_for_marathon_youth_led from 4-7pm on Thursday March 18th.

It's not too late for you to get involved. Send in questions for Dame Kelly Holmes or Edith Bowman - or send us an idea to run part of the show yourself! Perhaps you're part of a local youth group and you'd like to share your work with teenagers from around the country.
