As CBBC's first ever online comedy drama, the webisodes will be available in the form of daily vlogs which will be uploaded from Monday to Friday, before and after school.
In a first-person 'selfie' style of shooting, the show follows teen Shari (Claudia Jessie), whose entire life is on Dixi: from chatting with friends and sharing pictures to posting funny vlogs.
This social network is her life. That is, until her page is defaced, her password gets changed and she is locked out. To Shari, it's the end of the world, but with the help of her closest friends she sets out to discover who hacked Dixi and 'murdered' her profile page.
Dixi both encourages children to enjoy the creativity of the net while also getting them to think about the potential dangers of social networking, from online privacy and safety settings, to the real-world consequences of cyber bullying.
Alongside the exclusive webisodes, there will be interactive web chats & exciting content that will give CBBC audience a unique opportunity to engage with the drama, try to solve the mystery of "who's done it" and gain an understanding of the complex issues it raises. CBBC and Kindle Entertainment have also created a mock version of the social network Dixi which will be available from the CBBC website, and feautures the profiles from the characters that see them posting messages to and from one another.
