I remember this---but I had no idea Peter Firth was in it. He must be so proud.

Loved it! I had a major crush on Gillian Bailey (Billie) at the time. Brinsley Forde (Spring) went on to front the reggae band, Aswad.
I apologise, in advance.

Never seen this before.  I was in Germany at the time and so was watching Star Trek, Cannon, Hawaii 5 0, etc - in German.  It sure helped my understanding the language.

Like Bilthe, I missed this because I was overseas, but looking at it now it was clearly an attempt to create an American styled kids show using stage school kids.

Malcolm, I echo your thoughts on this show, having only seen the intro.
Peeps, why don't you ask him?
