Teen writers on TV hit Catch
Dan Finelli is a normal teenager from North London; he goes to school, enjoys
hanging out with his mates and only occasionally misses his classes. But Dan
also happens to be a writer for the popular teen drama, Catch. The second
series starts this week and the one-hour episode that Dan wrote, his very first
for the show, will be on screen later in the year. This will make him one of the
youngest writers of a peak-time drama ever.

'What's great about Catch is that the characters are exactly like the people
around you,' says Dan, who also plays the part of Computer Chris in the
show. 'When I'm at school and one of my friend says something funny, I write
it down in my notebook and use it later in the script. I never tell them I'm
doing it. I just want it to sound as real as possible,' Dan adds.

Catch is about the lives of a group of 16-18-year-olds in a sixth-form college.

The idea for the programme came from an unusual source, a father-and-son
pair of writers, Ken Thomas and his son, Callum. They took their idea to a TV
company and were very surprised when the company said they were keen to
make it. Now, Ken and Callum are central members of the writing team but in
order to build that team, Ken had to go to theatre companies and writing
groups all over London to find both writers and teens to advise on the stories.
Question 24. Dan's first series of the TV programme, Catch, brought him
both fame and fortune.
Question 25. Dan is also one of the actors in Catch.
Question 26. Dan asks his friends if he can use the actual things they say in
his writing.
Question 27. Catch is about a group of teenagers at a real college.
Question 28. Ken Thomas looked for young people to write Catch at various
places around London.
Read an article about Elizabeth Taylor and choose the best answer.
Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor was born on February 27, 1932, in London,
England. One of film's most celebrated stars, Elizabeth Taylor
has fashioned a career that's covered more than six decades, accepting roles
that have not only showcased her beauty, but her ability to take on
emotionally charged characters.
Taylor's American parents, both art dealers, were residing in London when
she was born. Soon after the outbreak of World War II, the Taylors returned
to the United States and settled into their new life in Los Angeles.

Performance was in Taylor's blood. Her mother had worked as an actress until
she married. At the age of 3, the young Taylor started dancing, and
eventually gave a recital for Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret. Not long after
relocating to California a family friend suggested the Taylors' daughter take a
screen test.

She soon signed a contract with Universal Studios, and made her screen
debut at the age of 10 in There's One Born Every Minute (1942). She
followed that up with a bigger role in Lassie Come Home (1943) and later
The White Cliffs of Dover (1944).
Her breakout role, however, came in 1944 with National Velvet, in a role
Elizabeth Taylor spent four months working to get. The film subsequently
turned out to be a huge hit that pulled in more than $4 million and made the
12-year-old actress a huge star.
