mariondowning Terrible, terrible, terrible, cheesy music videos thrown in to random scenes. Like the "sad" black and white filmed farewell at an airport (with the girl and her teacher who she slept with) where everyone in the background stands around watching while these two lovers sing a song and dance. The characters in this show all seem self absorbed (Oh, their teenagers, so that part is the only realistic part about this and even that sucked) all talking over each other and overacting. The only thing I enjoyed was watching those two teenagers drink out of a cup made by their landlady that was made with clay from the backyard that had possible been sh*t in by cats. What a mega waste of airtime.
hatsarelove I'm in Australia and I saw the first episode when Channel 7 aired it. I enjoyed it, even if it was a little cheesy. I liked the songs and the acting was pretty good. I was disappointed that CH7 took it of air. It may be a TV show version of "FAME", (my mum said something like that) but it's enjoyable and light-hearted. And it's back on! Its CH7 on a Sunday at about 12 or 1 o'clock. Now I have something to watch! I'm voting 8/10. It's a fun, family show and gives a bit of entertainment to a boring Sunday. I've only seen three episodes (ep. 1, 3 & 4) but I have enjoyed it a lot. The dancing is awesome. I definitely want the soundtrack now.
Pixie-Dark Let me just say, unlike most people, I wanted to like Britannia High, I really did. But after watching the first episode let me just say that if you tune into this, be prepared for a cheesy clichéd sub-par version of Fame. It was just terrible. The characters:There is a bitchy mean girl, a shy, talented girl and a cute, caring talented guy. Hmmm...where have we seen THAT before? The sets are OK but the acting? Meh.On the whole Britannia High is a very bad show and I would be happy if it got cancelled tomorrow, as there are so many quality shows that could be on at this time, yet people have to watch this. It has been done to death and I rate it 2 out of 10.
Tom Spearman What is this supposed to be then? An English version of High School Musical? An English version of Center Stage? They have certainly taken the tag line from it...I shall reserve judgement till I see it , but its bound to just go the way of Rock Rivals and be utter rubbish surely?They have cast one of the Skins actors as well I believe, there's a picture of him with a dreadful perm on Digital SpyAnd whats with the name? Britannia High... its just AWFUL. Sounds like the Brits School - which quite frankly was OVER mentioned at the Brits this year...
