Anyone else here watch this in the UK in the 90's?

Used to love watching this on the BBC back in the day. Kids shows these days just aren't that great.

Watched it in Australia, so not the UK. But I did love the series as well as the books they were based on by Paul Jennings. Huge fan of Jennings as a kid.

Ahh the books, I still have a couple of the books in storage at my parents home. Will have to have a read of them again some day. I'm feeling pretty nostalgic today for some reason.

It's a good time to get nostalgic. It's fun to go back and take in the things you grew up on, especially the happier things. I've been meaning to re-watch the series for a while so you're not alone.

Yeah, loved it and still do. Have watched it with my kids recently.

The UK had a massive interest in Oz culture around the time with the likes of Neighbours and Home & Away dominating viewing figures then the cross-over with the pop stars coming out of those shows just lumped that interest on top of everything.

I actually spoke to Joelene Crnogorac on social media a couple of years back and she was fantastic chatting back and forth. Has happy memories of the show and seemed genuinely happy it was still making its mark to this day.

Watched it in Ireland during the 90s alright, used to love it. Australia had some decent kids TV shows at the time. Spellbinders, Ocean Girl, The Girl From Tomorrow, Ship to Shore. I think there was another one set in a sports development facility but for the life of me I can't remember the name of it
