The series tended to feature single dramas with a science fiction, supernatural and occasionally satirical theme. It was created by Anna Home, then head of children's and youth programming at TVS; however, the dramas themselves were produced by a total of twelve ITV regional companies.[2] Thus, each episode was in practice a one-off production with its own cast and crew, up to and including the executive producer. Dramarama was largely a showcase for new talent to television and offered debuts for Anthony Horowitz, Paul Abbott, Kay Mellor, Janice Hally, Tony Kearney,[3] David Tennant and Ann Marie Di Mambro. It was also one of Dennis Spooner's last works.[4]One of the stories, Thames' Dodger, Bonzo And The Rest from 1984, proved so popular that it was spun off into its own series and Christmas special the following year - the series starred Lee Ross and recounted life in a large foster home.[4] Another story, Granada's Blackbird Singing in the Dead of Night from 1988, was developed into the long-running series Children's Ward.[4] The original Dramarama story was co-written by Paul Abbott and Kay Mellor - at the time, working as staff writers for Granada.[5] The series has rarely been repeated in recent years, although two episodes - Blackbird Singing in the Dead of Night and Back to Front - were broadcast on the CITV Channel as part of a 30th anniversary weekend in January 2013.[6] EpisodesDramarama: Spooky

Only four ITV companies of the time did not contribute to the series: Anglia, Channel, Grampian and LWT. LWT most likely did not contribute because Dramarama was a weekday series (therefore Thames made London-based episodes). It is unknown why the other three did not produce episodes, although Channel could have refused owing to its small size. TVS produced the greatest number of episodes. VideoA videotape containing the episodes "Big T for Trouble", "Just Wild About Harry" and "Venchie" (all Tyne Tees productions) was released by Video Gems, c. 1990. It is now out of print. DVDAll episodes produced by Thames Television have been released by Network DVD, who have also released the 1983 series Spooky which was shown under the Dramarama banner. The home video rights to the majority of the remaining episodes are held by ITV Studios, aside from those produced by Scottish, TVS and TSW.
