Anthology of British children's sci-fi and supernatural dramas.
Dramarama is a British children's anthology series that aired on ITV from 1983 to 1989, featuring single dramas with science fiction, supernatural, and satirical themes. Created by Anna Home, the series served as a showcase for new television talent, including early work by Anthony Horowitz, Paul Abbott, and David Tennant.
