@bibblebob What do you mean? I've rewatched the series and it still holds up. One great thing about this show was how the demon headmaster actually believed that he was doing was for the good of humanity. That's actuallly scary. It's like that saying "We're from the government and we're here to help you." I think it's mainly because of this that this show is a classic and it taught kids about questioning authority. Can't say anything similar about kids shows now and that's a shame.
It's not so much the theme (which as you said is a good one), it's just all of the child actors. None of them look like characters you could possibly take seriously! Also, why didn't kids parents think "hmm, my son has started acting like a Gestapo captain, maybe I should look in to what the fuck is happening at school?!".
@bibblebob Well they don't look particularly odd to me if that's what you mean. And I think for child actors they're not bad some of them play their parts quite well. As for when these kids are at home with their parents they probably don't act like they do when they're at school. The prefects for example are just supposed to keep a watch on the other children and punish them if they have to. I doubt the demon headmaster told them to do the same with their parents.
is the reason why the Hunters adopted Dinah ever given? Behaps Ms.Hunter was bored of having boys after these two and the one from only fools and horses so they chose to adopted so it made sure she was a girl!
This show looks like a lot of fun, but the image is squeezed in pretty badly. Watching it gives me a headache. Can you stretch it back to the original widescreen format?
@jamesmason01 The image is supposed to be wider. For example, if you look at the series logo in the opening credits, it's squeezed into the shape of an oval, but the logo is supposed to be a perfect circle. The intro uploaded by nostalgia90kids has the correct aspect ratio. It's under "The Demon Headmaster Intro - 1996." Check it out, and you'll see what I mean. It's really cool that you uploaded this series, but I don't want to watch it if the image is distorted. It's too distracting.
It was taken off the air after 3 seasons 19 eps also is the girl the one who played umm that girl in bad girls oh i forget her name she died from stuffing paper in her mouth
oh yes now this shit takes me back lol i think this was a nazi run test to brainwash our minds when you stared into his eyes.i dont think it worked HEIL HITLER MEIN FUHRER
i saw this back in 2008 for english and it was brilliant! i didn't even notice that eddie was lennie bicknall from M.I. High until i found it on here again! Lol!!
God I dunno why but quarter to midnight and I have the urge to watch this aha i just remebered all the shows like queens nose and that old shoe shine boy ghost show when i was younger haha
@smash9the9state Yeah funny, the same night and decided to look up old TV shows and want to start watching old 90s children which i watched when i was a child.
they were showing this show on the TV in Finland when I was like 6. Now I'm 22 and randomly clicked on a youtube link, what a smack on the face when i realized what i found!
wow...so long since I saw this show. . . It's wierd but I only just remembered about it, even though I used to think about it nonstop in junior school...
@owenboy60 - Yes u can download the audio book. by using torrent programmes etc such as utorrent n using the site isohunt. Thats pretty much what i do for everything games., films american tv series when they first air. Harry potter audio
@Ravagad I missed this when it was shown on CBBC though I did like to watch the odd programme on CBBC such as Even Stevens. It's relevant to adults as well as children as it shows how there are sociopathic megalomaniacs in any walk of life whose only desire is to take over the world. At the time I was reading His Dark Materials which has a similar storyline though set in Oxford University in a different universe.
Thumbs up if you got the story book in literacy class in school
