I only saw one or two episodes of it (I've forgot it's been on ever since). I was really excited to watch it because of the involvement of Gary and Mark writing some of the songs for it, but the actual show... well, I wouldn't say it was bad but I read how it would be the UK's answer to High School Musical so I was expecting a bit more, er, music.
I don't mind the stories in it, or the acting, or the singing - but it needs more of the latter. I hope it does well though because at least it's a bit different to other things shown on TV.
Isn't Arlene "Strictly Come Dancing judge" Philips the brains behind this? If it all goes wrong I think it'll be all on her rather than any of the songwriters.
