Adolesence on Netflix has created a huge conversation around the corrosive impact of social media and misogynist influencers on some teenage boys.

The harrowing show outlines the aftermath of the stabbing of a teenage girl, with a 13-year-old boy from her school arrested for her murder. Suspect Jamie is played by Owen Cooper, with Stephen Graham as his dad .

It leaves everything laid bare, and puts a spotlight on one of the biggest issues the new generation is facing when it comes to the rise in access and advancement to technology.

However in a much lighter tone, and a very different type of show, Stephen could be swapping the small screen for the dancefloor, as he has been tipped odds on to appear on the next series of Strictly Come Dancing.

‌

Although it is yet to air for a while yet, later this year the 51-year-old could be waltzing round the iconic ballroom and looking for the seal of approval from the panel of judges.

Bookmaker Coral makes Stephen Graham odds-on at 4-5 to be a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing in 2025. The Adolescence star is 8-1 to lift the Glitterball Trophy this year.

‌

“Stephen Graham is rightly getting a lot of plaudits for his work on Adolescence, and following the success of the Netflix series, we now make him odds-on to be a contestant on Strictly in 2025,” said Coral’s John Hill.

Meanwhile, Graham's Netflix show which he co-created, saw the narrative unfold in a continuous one-shot format, which meant that filming proceeded without any cuts or breaks.

The cast and crew prepared with a week of rehearsals before shooting two versions of a gripping, hour-long sequence.

‌

Jack Thorne, the writer behind the series, shared insights with 5Live about how this unique filming approach shaped the storytelling, leaving audiences to piece together elements of the plot on their own due to the constraints of the format.

Thorne delved into the implications of the one-shot method, stating: "It forces the camera to do something and it also forces the pen to do something."

‌

He elaborated on the challenges this posed for writing, saying: "As a writer you have to think about corridors, you have to think about staircases, you have to think about all of those technical things.

"You also can't tell all the story. So you are telling an incomplete story, because there is only so much you can see in an hour. So Jamie's legal process, anything that the family is doing in terms of mourning the loss of Katie - any of these things you can't cut to.

"And so you are sort of stuck in something and that forces you to be partial, and it forces you to be incomplete. I think that causes the audience to lean forward because they know they are not going to get all of the story. They have got to work."
