Stories include 'Ken's Kitchen', 'Robin Hood', and 'The N.A.I.L Files'. The cast features Inspector Grant and Dennis Cook, two of the most popular characters from the Grapevine videos. English Channel 3 is an exciting comedy thriller called Double Identity. Featuring the regular actors from the first two levels, the story is divided into eight episodes that build to a dramatic climax. Double Identity is the award-winning final level of the series. At each level the video is supported by a Student's Book and a Teacher's Book.
