The 10-part series, Hollywould..., will be broadcast online at Kent County Council's community broadband channel, Kent TV. It follows Holly, a first-year student at a fictional university in Canterbury, whose internet dating leads her into trouble.
The series was written by Julie Wassmer, whose credits include Eastenders and London's Burning, and cost £20,000 to produce. After the first four episodes, viewers will have the opportunity to choose how the plot develops.
