Graeme Armstrong’s ‘The Young Team’ 6-part series commissioned by BBC!

We’re thrilled to announce the BBC have commissioned ‘The Young Team’, our 6-part series based on the acclaimed debut novel by Graeme Armstrong, one of Scotland’s most exciting new literary voices.

Set in and around the streets of Airdrie, outside Glasgow, The Young Team follows 15-year-old Azzy Williams as he navigates the world of gang culture, addiction, and the fight for a different future, following him on his journey from boyhood to manhood as he and his mates become postcode warriors in a toxic cycle that threatens to consume them.

This project represents the heart of what we do at Synchronicity – telling authentic, impactful stories that can change lives. We’re honoured to work with Graeme on his screenwriting debut, bringing his vital story to a wider audience.
