Everything Colin Bennett touches has a sense of being ahead of its time. This superbly kitsch piece of groan inducing kids TV was surely a timely warning to those parents today who are raising stage school kids. The X factor generation who seek fame through performance. Colin Bennett is without a doubt the unsung hero of under-current British comedy. His pedigree in TV alone should indicate something deeper afoot with any project he graces. My abiding memory of this show was his asides to camera, his knowing cheese, the god awful kids who played a double bass or sang or tap danced. I wonder if this show will ever surface on DVD somewhere, somehow. I doubt it will but perhaps it has done its job in an invisible way, when it first aired, in altering the ironic landscape of comedy... If you thought this show was purely trash you have only picked up on one level. I instinctually felt it was deeply penetrative on numerous comedic levels but as a failed stage school kid, I would say that.
