TVNZ's Reservoir Hill interactive online drama

November 3, 2009 by Hayden Raw 

For those of you that don't know TVNZ is currently airing an online interactive drama called Reservoir Hill where you can txt and Bebo with the main character to influence her decisions in the next episode. A few people I've spoken to recently haven't heard about it so I thought I'd point you all to the link. 

The way it works is you get an opportunity to txt Beth for 48 hours after each episode or after each video blog she leaves. If your conversations are good enough your messages and suggestions get written into the next episode. You can also communicate to Beth on her Bebo page... very cool.

Check out the show and watch the old episodes to get up to speed. I give this a big double thumbs up for TVNZ. Well done for trying something innovative.

Bebo really is going down the tube. Hopefully they start to put more effort into their presence on Facebook

Agreed with beefed - why Bebo? Its just so narrow? Shouldn't there also be a Facebook account? Or even a Twitter, to get up to date stuff DURING the show.

Cool concept regardless.

Bebo is absolutely dead- a year ago it was THE thing for teens, everyone had one. Now they're being deleted like there's no tomorrow, and everyones moving to Facebook. Why would the TV show creators choose bebo over Fb?

I totally agree. When I first heard that her profile was only on Bebo I was a bit unsure if that was the best avenue. Great to hear from a man in the target age bracket that Bebo is pretty much dead.
