@chriswales19 I don't think they possess his fourth-wall breaking powers. Didn't you see The Demon Headmaster Takes Over TV? He's like Deadpool without the sense of humour.
@ReloadPsi Now that is one thing I would have LOVED to see, but I have never been able to find it online, and I never saw it when it was first broadcast. Any ideas where I can find this?
It is so weird Googling what the actors are up to now - Dinah is a dentist, Rose is a sports therapist living in New Zealand, and Mandy is an environmental graduate and teacher!
Have always Imagined what Terrence Hardiman might have been like in the role of Count Dooku the evil Sith Lord from a personal standpoint I honestly reckon he would have been tremendous he does portrays villains quite often and really could of excelled brilliantly playing that kind of character.
Absolutely loved this really wonderful TV Series especially back in my childhood days I've read the books and they simply in my honest opinion are just fabulous putting it mildly, will not forget how really creepy, sinister, and generally evil the Demon Headmaster was really made you feel quite frightened with his always stern cold expression and weird glowing eyes, of course portrayed by the very marvelous English actor Terrence Hardiman he really looked so perfect in the role and was so nasty.
I was never able to get my head around the idea that this octopus on a screen could hypnotise people, and now that I see it rendered on-screen I'm even more baffled :P
The Demon Headmaster has struck the video game world again; this time with World of Warcraft, Modern Warfare and Wii Sports.
But they aren't as badass as "Octopus Dare!" on the Demonotron "Super Salamander", in all good retailers near you. Featuring the ultimate in sound, visuals, and Octopus daring, fight your way for the ultimate prize; the Prime Minister's brain. Rated 5/5 by EDGE, 10/10 by IGN, and 100/100 by Gamespot.
Gillian Cross must be so dissapointed that they changed alot of things from the book like its's supposed to be turfs island and a saladin computer not a salamander, and how come we don't get to see Mr Meredith the new headmaster?
Reason being was that some weren't pratical for a TV series. I've read all the Demon Headmaster books (except for the final one) and the Hunky Parker one (Revenge of the Demon Headmaster) just wouldn't have worked as a series, even the BBC did, which is why they jumped to the next novel as it worked and was more scarier than RotDH
@dc8r17 I'd like to see them do the third book with the budget they have now. Too bad they'd have to get completely different actors with the originals all having aged about fifteen years or so.
@ReloadPsi they'd do a sequal series, where he comes back and the kids are all teenagers now, or are adults and have families and hes at their new school.
@Shadedtail haha, life isn't that kind. the actors would be like mid-20's, so no way could they do teenagers. and it wouldn't make sense if he was the headmaster at the school of their kids, cos then the parents would realize whats up.
i totally wanted to play Octopus Dare when this came out. I dont get it though - that second level didn't look too hard, what did she have to do, avoid the seaweed?
hahaha kids today woulnt bother saying ''ARE YOU DEAF OR WHAT?''they would ''GET ME A F***KING SALAMANDER NOW OR ILL STAB YOU'' god how times have changed dont you sometimes wish it could be like that again :D
i bet a lot of companies wish they had cards like that they could send through the post so people will buy their products thumbs up if u agree

Since to many this series seems long in their past I was reminded of this:
As you age time seems to speed up and compress.
Looking back from age 25 to 10, those 15 years seem like ages...while looking back from 40 to 20, those 20 years seem but the blink of an eye.
Feels to me that this programme was new only yesterday.....

if they ever re-do this series for the new generation, they should have peter capaldi as the demon headmaster.

It's the same for me. Re-watching the series has brought back many memories and I'm so tempted to pick them up again for the inner child in me.
But the BBC did get the series done really well, I don't see it working a feature film tbh.
