Overview
This captivating 35-minute show follows the stories of three teenagers with very different attitudes towards their futures. Darren wants to be a lawyer, but needs help planning his dream, Alisha is less sure of what she wants to do but she’s open to working hard and Lauren is “not bovvered“ about her future.
Simon Cowell arrives with a new positive future-based show; ‘The EET Factor‘. The goal is Education, Employment and Training, and the prize is the future... You’ve got to be EET not NEET!
Movin’ On Up is a celebration of the future, inspiring young people to create a brighter tomorrow for themselves and the world in which they live.

What people are saying about this show:
“Yes! Yes! Yes! Because of the relevant examples you provided, commitment from the cast, and well-devised pieces, you captured their attentions. It was so excellent that they couldn’t NOT have learnt anything!”
– Karen Sookden, English Teacher, Warren Comprehensive,
London Borough of Barking & Dagenham
“The idea of being left behind really came across. Hanging outside Primark… is not as appealing as it may seem!”
– Emma Howell, Science Teacher, The John Roan School, London Borough of Greenwich
“Movin' On Up, brought to life the reality of making the wrong choices. Young people were shown real life scenarios in making plans for when they leave school. Using contemporary TV shows as the model meant that the young people could focus on the message and stay absolutely hooked by the comedy and music.”
— Amanda Howells, Connexions Strategic Manager
“There’s a subject to suit everyone. And everyone can be happy. There is so much choice.”
– Pupil, age 12, Hextable School, Kent
