AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Three students (one Australian, one German, and one Singaporean) become close friends while studying at a Singaporean boarding school. Disappointed by their inevitable separation at the end of the school year, they are delighted when a fortuitous combination of mobile phones, computers, and a thunderstorm transports them bodily into an Internet chatroom and, from there, into each others' houses. The three spend their days moving freely between Australia, Singapore, and Germany.

The program's official website describes it as 'a vibrant, engaging, contemporary comedy-drama aimed at "tweens" throughout the world.'

Notes

  • Though the work is an international co-production, the majority of the script-writers (Kym Goldsworthy, Noel Price, Shelley Birse, John Armstrong, and Sue Hore) are Australian; the other script-writers involved in the program (Jörg Reiter and Katya Kittendorf) are German.
  • The program was broadcast in Germany as Emma@'s Ch@troom (often normalised in print as Emma's Chatroom). In Italy, a dubbed version aired as Cyber Girls In South America, it aired as El ciber mundo De Las Chicas.
