Living on the Edge was a British reality television show that first aired on 14 October 2007 on MTV UK. It documented the lives of several teenagers in Alderley Edge in Cheshire, a wealthy village in the North West of England. It is noted for attempting to purvey 'drama all the time'. It has been compared to the American reality television shows, Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County and Newport Harbor: The Real Orange County. There are no plans for any future series.
Living on the Edge is structured as a traditional narrative (seen more commonly in fictionalised television dramas or soap operas) than a straightforward observant documentary. Its slogan is "LA Lifestyle, Cheshire Postcode".
The theme tune for the show is "Shooting Star" by Air Traffic.

David Howell Evans (born 8 August 1961), better known by his stage name The Edge (or just Edge), is a British-born Irish musician and songwriter best known as the lead guitarist, keyboardist and backing vocalist of the rock band U2. A member of the group since its inception, he has recorded 13 studio albums with the band as well as one solo record. As a guitarist, the Edge has crafted a minimalistic and textural style of playing. His use of a rhythmic delay effect yields a distinctive ambient, chiming sound that has become a signature of U2's music.
The Edge was born in England to a Welsh family, and was raised in Ireland after the Evans family relocated there while he was still an infant. In 1976 at Mount Temple Comprehensive School he formed U2 with his fellow students and his older brother Dik. Inspired by the ethos of punk rock and its basic arrangements, the group began to write its own material. They eventually became one of the most popular acts in popular music, with successful albums such as 1987's The Joshua Tree and 1991's Achtung Baby. Over the years, the Edge has experimented with various guitar effects and introduced influences from several genres of music into his own style, including American roots music, industrial music, and alternative rock. With U2, the Edge has also played keyboards, co-produced their 1993 record Zooropa, and occasionally contributed lyrics. The Edge met his second and current wife, Morleigh Steinberg, through her collaborations with the band.
Motiveless killer out of control
Dagger poised to take your soul
Your days are numbered, you don't stand a chance
A stab to the heart, you're in permanent trance
Adrenaline high, prepare to die
Soon to draw your last breath
Your time has come, there's nowhere to run
Fear will last forever
Living on the edge
Living on the edge
Ultimate sinner hours remain
A silence looms, it's the end of the game
You fall to your death in a frenzied attack
Shot to ribbons, burning black
Twisted and torn, since the day you were born
The pain, the sorrow, the sadness
For those who died, it burns inside
It will last forever
Living on the edge
Living on the edge
You gambled your way through life in a feverish desperation
Your own demise was just a matter of time
Trapped in mind, no fear of dying
If you had lived, you'd have crucified us all
Into the fire, eternal flame
Burn in hell, again and again
Shrouded in darkness, you pray for light
Your soul awaits the second sight
Twisted and torn, since the day you were born
The pain, the sorrow, the sadness
For those who died, it burns inside
It will last forever
Living on the edge
Living on the edge
Living on the edge
