Mockbusters comes of age this week as we wade through the emotional depths and hormonal highs of Teen Drama.
Presiding over all this angst, from across the pond we're joined by actor, playwright and poet - the multitalented Nicole Varona! We chat with Nikki about her debut play Bit Of Sunshine, her favourite teen flicks and how poetry is making a comeback in the internet age.
Just like a teenage mood, things get emotional in more ways than one with this week's trailers. One of the boys makes a heartfelt offering, and the other ruthlessly breaks them in an incredibly contentious episode.
Turn up your iPod Classic to hear an unexpected type of teenager, Michael Gambon's star casting, witness protection and loads and loads of Virgins.
