[Spike]

This looks really good even though it will probably be a total flop

Love the song, can't wait for it to start

[Princess]

I hope it ain't gonna flop! For one it has all of Take That fans watching,then theres the people who just wanna see Mitch and kids who love High School Musical.

[*mazedsalv**]

Looks good, looks like a UK version of So You Think You Can Dance. And that show is very good imo.

[Sam]

I know I'll be addicted to this. The first song sounds good!

[MrGaryy]

I started a thread on this awhile ago.

So glad to see Mitch again, although I'm not loving the curly hair.

[Spike]

Downloaded the first song, its great

[BigSister]

This looks good cant wait for it to start

[Princess]

Been loads of ad's around for this at the moment,looks really good. Can't wait for it to start!

[Callum]

I won't be watching this, it's like a total copy of HSM and the songs sound almost exactly the same too.

[xDramatick]

Looks amazing, really lookin' forward to it!

:blush: Well thats how I see it!

[Emzy-!!]

I will only watch it for Mitch Hewer, but I think it will be a disappointment because it will copy High School Musical way too much.

But I love Mitch Hewer!!! :lovedup::lovedup::lovedup::lovedup::lovedup::love dup::hug:

[Princess]

From the ad's it looks a lot more grown-up than HSM.

Supppose we'll just have to wait and see.

[Spike]

After seeing the new adverts it doesn't look that similar to HSM, it looks alot more grown up

[BigSister]

It better not be on when im away though
Any1 knows when it starts

[Princess]

No idea,sorry Becca.

[BigSister]

Thats ok Laura thanks anyway

[MarkWaldorf]

Sometime in October!

[BigSister]

[Princess]

[Callum]

[Christina]

Omg. Mitch Hewer looks sooo manly and grown up since Skins! (: And that girl looks like a younger-girl-wannabee of Kym Ryder. LOL. :cheer2:

Song is cool. But "Start of Something"? (Inspired by HSM much?!) LOL. :laugh:

[Princess]

I hear it's more like 'Fame' than 'HSM'.

[M X]

^^ Cool. Thanks. :kiss:

[Callum]

I can't wait for this to flop in the ratings and then get axed. :banana:

[*mazedsalv**]

Im watching it even though I dont really like High School Musical

[JOSHUAH!]

You just know ITV are wanting this to be a ratings winner.


..and we all just know its going to be a massive flop :laugh2:

[MarkWaldorf]

How do you know that? It could be a hit, if all High School Musical fans tune in, Im not a HSM fan and Im watching this.

[JOSHUAH!]

Well fair enough Mazedsalv, it could be good.
Its just everything ITV put money into seems to flop!

[Fom]

At least the acting is better than HSM!
Seems better than HSM, a bit more mature. A bit less cheesy.

[Spike]

Love this show
Everything about it was brilliant, this is my kinda show

[BigSister]

I really enjoyed that hopefully will be able to watch it every sunday night

[Princess]

Loves it. And its not like HSM that much-a lot more grown-up,like there was a kiss in the first episode!

I think I might fancy Mitch Hewer.

[Christina]

I loved what i saw of it, i missed the first 30 mins so im going to watch it again on the itv website. Its great!

[M X]

It was great, much better than High School Musical. But did you realise that on the logo the "High" part is the same as HSM's logo.

[Magic]

What was it like, anygood?

[Princess]

^^^It was really good.

[Princess]

I loved the songs! Although I'm probably bias because Gary Barlow wrote them. Nowt wrong with a bit of wallpaper....

[Princess]

Yeah Lauren and Claudette.

On the making's of(on the website) Gary said they had written about 30 songs,there were samples of some of them and they sounded quite good.

[andyman]

Dear lord! Why am i watching? :shocked::bawling:

[andyman]

Ahhhh its all over :cheer2: I need to wash my eyes and ears... Would have helped if i just changed the channel.

[Spike]

Love the final, its ashame they mimed badly though.
I hope it gets a second series, I have a feeling it will even though it has done terrible in the ratings.

[Noel]

I'm gonna miss this so much! It actually became a part of my normal Sunday night routine. =[ Hate how they left it at a cliffhanger, though ¬__¬. I really hope it gets a second series. I wanna know what Lauren's test results are! lol.

Didn't we just find out her test results?

[Noel]

When?! It wasn't in the show, was it?!

[M X]

When?! It wasn't in the show, was it?!

Yeah, it was. She opened the envolope, then later on she told Mr. Nuegen (<is that how you spell it?) and Claudine that she has this other thing with a really long name and that she wasn't dying & didn't have MS.

[Noel]

How come I didn't see this?! It wasn't shown to me! It's the stupid Northern Irish network..¬__¬ I can't believe I missed it!

[Princess]

I'm going to miss it! It was part of my Sunday too-chart show,Britannia High and Top Gear.

Loveed the finale.

Lola and Stefan :lovedup:

[BigSister]

Im glad i watched fianle as i missed last 3 because of work

Axed!

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/a143500/britannia-high-axed-after-one-series.html

Britannia High has been axed after just one series.

ITV1 has decided to discontinue the musical drama, which failed to be a ratings success for the channel.

The show, which cost £2 million to produce, was created by Strictly Come Dancing judge Arlene Phillips and Take That singer Gary Barlow.

"We thought Britannia High would be an all-singing, all-dancing success - especially having the top names in dance and music on board," a source told The Sun.

"Sadly, the stories of these youngsters vying for their dreams didn’t seem to capture viewers’ imagination.

"The credit crunch is affecting everything, not least TV. A second series of Britannia High was just not viable."

The programme opened to a disappointing 3.31 million viewers in October and later fell to a low of just 2.4 million in its third outing.

[Spike]

I think its the right decision, the ratings weren't good and also its suits the shows to be a one off series
Still ashame its gone thought

[MrGaryy]

Credit Crunch my ass. It failed due to very bad writers.

[Princess]

I loved it! The songs were so the best part..... :whistle:

Shame there's not gonna be another series. :sad:

[Firewire]

Aw. I loved Britannia High.

Oh well.

And the credit crunch?

Has nothing to do with it.

[xDramatick]

NO!!!
I LOVED Britannia High.
It was so good, there was a lot of depth in it, and it was a lot more serious than people seemed to think it was.

What am I gonna do about my unhealthy obsession with the amazingly beautiful Jez?

[SammyAyee]

awk i liked it to.

[Headie]

This was such a great show, it sucks that it came just before Glee started because I think had it come after it would've been a lot more successful. Still one of my all time favourite musical series :love:
