Burn It 2

By Matt Greenhalgh

So the sun sets on the first series - and life is good. Then the sun rises again….

CARL and EMMA together? The thought simultaneously thrills and horrifies CARL. EMMA is the most amazing woman he's ever met, but ANDY's his best mate. Not just a bloke down the pub - this guy defines the best part of his life. You can't just pack a guy like that off to Australia, and start shagging his girlfriend, can you? EMMA seems to think you can.

She wants to get on with it, but CARL wants to keep them a secret, until 'the moment's right.' And when the secret does come out, there's all hell to pay. EMMA is equally frustrated in her work-life. At least she's got her mate KELLY to keep her spirits up - and help her pay the mortgage.

JON is an almost permanent fixture at TINA's house, playing happy families with KATIE. But KATIE's getting to that awkward age, when boys put their hands up your top, and harder kids offer you drugs.

TINA's graduated and is working with her best mate STEPHEN on his jeans stall. With JON around to look after KATIE, TINA can live the life she missed out on while she was a teenage mother - late nights clubbing, drugs, alcohol…men?

CARL may have lost ANDY from his life, but he's not short of company. His step-sister JANE appears on his doorstep, looking for a flat to rent, and he re-discovers PAT an old clubbing mate who shares the same passion for the drugs and music of 'the old days.'

And surely ANDY can't stay away forever...
