New musical drana series starring perfoming-arts students - Fame meets High School Musical.

Saw the first episode last night. Excellent. Just what Sunday nights needed.

Stephen Fry's America is also excellent.

A bit of free advice.

Dont be discussing that first point with your Uni colleagues. Dont. stpid

Poolie of Kent · **Posted:** Mon Oct 27, 2008 11:49 am

And why shouldn't I ?

Mr Creosote · **Joined:** Thu Jun 05, 2008 11:05 pm **Posts:** 1887

Just dont. OK?

Listen to this advice. Its for your own good.

Poolie of Kent · **Posted:** Mon Oct 27, 2008 11:52 am

Other Uni students might watch it though ?

You say that as if it's something to be embarassd about. It's not.

Because it would probably result in you getting beaten up, rightfully so as well. Unless you go to the University of Brighton that is.

Vote :

Does PoK have the worst taste in just about everything in life?

Music, tv, film etc

It's all absolutely rubbish,thats not an opinion, thats fact!

Your craic is awful mate.

Poolie of Kent · **Posted:** Mon Oct 27, 2008 11:58 am

No. I don't think so.

I don't believe society should pressure me as to what it thinks is the right things to be interested in.

That's why I'm a Poolie and not at the Arsenal or Chelsea every week like seemingly the rest of the kids in the South East.

I am my own person and I am proud to be my own person with my own tastes.

When did anyone actually get beaten up at a University, never mind Kent, which was voted one of the top ten universities in a student survey.

Some people have got too many stupid inhibitions and we'd be a lot better off if people dropped those inhibitions.

Like what you like, and fight pretension and snobbery wherever you find it clappp

Britannia High sounds fooking terrible mind :laugh:

Well, me and me dad watched the first episode last night, I found it was very funny and the songs were very upbeat as well, just what we need at a time of financial crisis. Dad watched the whole episode with me and seemed to be enjoying it.
When it finished, I commented on how good that was and he thought "It was a load of ol'....

I can't believe he sat there and watched and then slagged it off after seemingly enjoying it.

Peter Tatchell didn't go to Kent. But's it true, you know, us men, we view something like that as too effeminate and we shouldn't do.

Maybe that's were the traders on the stock market floor have been going wrong- no jazz hands.

Seriously though Mr Kent have you been on the Turps again?

Do you know what annoys me about you going on the financial crisis and credit cruch...

How has it actually effected you?

Your a student, you don't own property, don't work, don't pay bills.

How the fudge can you comment on it?

And how the hell will watching britannia sodding high help me in terms of financial crisis? Will it put food on my table or pay my rent?

We had this same conversation some time ago.

It's still depressing to watch the news everyday, with all of this going on.

It still concerns me though - if big international companies seeking translators etc go belly up, I'm on the dole queue all the same.

I feel your anger you know.

It's nice to know that there's something cheerful on which can distract you from the pain of a tough life.

Poolie of Kent · **Posted:** Mon Oct 27, 2008 12:32 pm

By the way, there is a FREE iTunes download of the theme song to Britannia High "Start of Something", that actually quite sums up the mood caused by the three Hartlepool wins.

It must be awful for you watching that on the news, i dunno how you cope

Poolie of Kent · **Posted:** Mon Oct 27, 2008 12:42 pm

It affects us all in one way or another, that's why you feel miserable, that's why you watch shows like this to cheer ourselves up.

It's basic logic: we'd rather be happy than be sad.

I've just been to the bank armed with that song Mr Kent.

I was immediately approved for a mortgage and they started giving away free money.

It really has gone a long way to dragging us out of this mess, It's amazing what some camp juvenille tripe can do for the economy.

PJ thats amazing, I've just taken that song into morrisons, and suddenly the price of food came tumbling down, eggs, milk and bread all tumbled back to there 'pre credit crunch prices'.

PoK is onto summit here.

Now i know where to go
I'm not following the crowd but theres so many faces staring at me
Im not going with the flow
Ive gotta wave goodbye and say hello
to unfamilliar circumstances

Oooooh
I'm gonna start believing in myself
Its up to me and no one else
Im feeling

This could be the start of something
I can feel my heart is jumping
Want to walk but cant stop running
I cant stop running
Good to be a part of something
Once upon a time was nothing
This could be the start of something
This could be the start of something good

Lifes a bitch
lifes a mess
its tryna find your way its not so easy
Its not the way it looks on TV
Im fully clothed
But still undressed
Like im walking on the highest wire
without a safety net below me

Oooooh
Aint another place id rather be
Listen to the voice inside of me
Thats shouting

This could be the start of something
I can feel my heart is jumping
Want to walk but cant stop running
I cant stop running
Good to be a part of something
Once upon a time was nothing
This could be the start of something
This could be the start of something good

Good to be where i belong
Its just so good to belong
Maybe this time is the one (time is the one)
Maybe this time is the one time ive been waiting for too long

This could be the start of something
I can feel my heart is jumping
Want to walk but cant stop running
I cant stop running
Good to be a part of something

Yubep, the job of fixing the economy is down to government.

The job of entertaining during those times goes to ITV and they produce shows like this to cheer us up.

How is it aimed at young girls, Mutley.

Surely it's aimed for the young and young-at-heart (comme moi).

Maybe that's why some Bunkerites are struggling to like the concept of the show.
