Outcasts

David wrote episodes 6 and 7 of the BBC's bold new sci-fi drama, which premeired in February 2007.

Set in space with the future of earth looking increasingly precarious, the race is on in Outcasts to find an alternative home in the universe. In return for their "liberty", a group of social misfits and criminals are sent to be the pioneers of a large new settlement on a near planet.

Outcasts is a tense and fast-paced series about co-operation and conflict, idealism and power, sexual competition and love. Most of all it is about our life's big imperatives – cheating death, seeking suitable mates and surviving as a species.
