Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Jeopardy is about a group of eight secondary-school students and their teacher Gerry from Falkirk academy, who travel to the Australian bush to look for UFO activity. They are given camcorders to record any sightings, and the series (much like the Blair Witch Project) makes extensive use jerky footage supposedly from the hand-held cameras.

What I saw: Every episode of season 1 - 3, alternate ending Happy and alternate ending Scary---I had watched this show religiously as a kid. I adored the mystery, the adventure, the time travel and the aliens. After the first airing of the final episode in 2004 (I voted for the "Scary Ending" alternative), I have been unable to view it again until now. The series has not lived up to my memories, but I wasn't expecting it to. I personally believe that it suffers from three main faults;1. Too much arguing. Far too much arguing. I get that there's a pressure on the characters, but it's hard to carry on with this amount of shouting per episode. The only reason why I powered on was because I was determined to finish the series a second time and get to the fondest-remembered parts2. I feel the scripts of each episode wasn't written tightly enough. Far too often I felt as though I was watching nothing but filler. I get the feeling that the series could have wrapped itself up in 2 seasons3. This isn't a slant on the actors because I thought they all did a good job, but two of the characters were intolerable in the first season. I'm glad they got that much-needed character development because I was close to packing it in. Although, after season 1, I feel that some of the other characters were not written as well as they were in the first season.An additional fault that isn't big enough to say the series greatly suffered from, but not small enough to ignore is the romances throughout. At times I felt at though the characters should have been concentrating on other more important things, and it distracted from the main plot a bit too much.Having said all that, by the time I got to season 3, I completely understood why I loved this show when I was younger. It does get very interesting with the red-eye virus and the mystery of where the characters go after they split. ---All-in-all the series could have greatly benefited from a few more script re-writes. As it is, though, I'd say it's a very good watch for kids who enjoy mystery, but are not yet old enough to watch something like Lost.Speaking of Lost, I think the ending to Jeopardy was far more satisfying than the ending to Lost. Especially the "Scary Ending".

Hey everyone. With regard to getting the BBC to put Jeopardy onto DVD, I emailed the BBC and they replied with this. They said that if there is enough public interest in a show, then there is a high chance that they will put it onto DVD. Just think - we don't need to wait for repeats to come onto the CBBC channel. I for one miss them due to work which is unfair. I've seen the whole series before when it was shown on BBC2 (i was hooked to it). I've already emailed the BBC asking to put the entire series onto DVD so the more people who email them or write to them, then the more chance they will put it onto DVD and make us all happy. Thanks Everyone ;-D

After the first episode, we're so looking forward to seeing each and every episode of Jeopardy. Charli Wilson who made an amazing screen debut in the magical "LUNAR GIRL", is a superb new actress who has a flair for pulling you into the character and taking you on a rollercoaster of emotions, and with the outstanding Paul Wroblewski directing and a fine cast of young new (mainly Scottish) actors in this unusual story, I think the BBC has a hit on it's hands.
