Sinchronicity is a six-part comedy-drama series broadcast on BBC Three in the United Kingdom in summer 2006. Set in Manchester, the programme is narrated by Nathan (Paul Chequer) and focuses on the love triangle of him, Fi (Jemima Rooper), and Jase (Daniel Percival).

The programme is executive produced by Julian Murphy, who was an executive producer on Channel 4's As If and Sugar Rush and Sky One's Hex. Stylistically similar to As If, following a non-linear narrative, it also features ex-cast members Chequer, Rooper and Mark Smith and, as such, can be seen as its spiritual successor.[1][2]

Sinchronicity was part of BBC Three's aim to divert from programming with a parenting theme, and aimed at viewers in their mid-20s to mid-30s "for whom parenthood is the farthest thing from their minds".[3] The theme tune is "Boys Will Be Boys" by the Ordinary Boys. The show was filmed in high definition and was re-run on BBC HD in October 2006.[citation needed]
