Tomorrow's just your future yesterday

Inspired by the isurrendered meme, and completed for the Create-a-Show challenge at tvrealm, I bring you Fae, formerly known as the "GODDAMN FAIRIES" folder on my computer. XD

Warning: image-heavy.

Name: Fae
Type: hour-long drama on BBC2
Synopsis: The realm of the faeries is always ruled by a queen. Lately, however, there have been a few upsets in the rule over the faerie realm. First, long-standing queen Sybil was overthrown and exiled by her daughter Brigit; after Brigit ruled for 20 years, she was in turn overthrown and exiled by a former member of her court, Adelaide. Brigit and her children have been exiled to a human city – the same one, in fact, where Brigit sent her own mother 20 years ago. Now, they’re forced to live together, re-learning how to get along with each other while plotting ways to get back their family’s rightful throne. The show focuses on the daily lives of both Brigit’s family, learning to make their ways masquerading as humans in the city, and Adelaide’s family and court, getting accustomed to being in control and fighting to keep the throne they have won.
Opening theme: In Caelum Fero by Karl Jenkins

(The first show I wrote is here, if anyone cares.)

So. I discovered isurrendered in...February. Never actually got prompted, just really enjoyed reading the things people posted.

Then my brain decided to throw an entire tv show idea at me. So. I wrote a show. Only took me 9 months (oh god, please no jokes about this show being my "baby," really), but I finally managed to finish the blasted thing!
(We'll not talk about the second one, that I have tons of casting for but no real plot to speak of, that came to me in September or so.)

Many, many thanks go to language_escapes, for listening to me complain about how the characters wouldn't talk to me, critiquing ideas and suggesting some of her own, and generally being awesome in the ways of creativity.

So, without further ado.

The Meme:
1. Comment to this post with "I surrender!" and I'll assign you the basis of some TV show idea. (Science fiction show, medical drama, criminal procedure, etc...)
2. Create a cast of characters, including the actors who'd play them
3. Add in any actor photos, character bios and show synopsis that you want.
4. Post to your own journal (and/or to isurrendered)

The Show:
Title: Underground

Type: hour-long ensemble drama/comedy/spy show. Short first season 1 of 13 episodes; 22 episodes in season 2. The jury is still out as to whether it will be renewed for a third season.

Synopsis: When ex-MI-5-operative-turned-English-professor David Murphy (Stephen Fry) finds out that Christine de Winter (Christina Hendricks), a brilliant, young, successful CEO, has dreams of world domination, what’s he to do? He can’t stop her on his own, so with the help of rich fellow Brit Andrew Langston (Hugh Laurie), he assembles a team of top students from his university to try to stop her. The students, all from different walks of life as well as different disciplines, must put aside their differences to prevent what looks like it could be a hostile takeover.

Opening theme: Instrumental remix-type thing of Within Temptation "Dark Wings"

Closing theme: Instrumental track from Counting Crows "A Murder of One"
