Head's Up

I just found a great new British show called Britannia High. Unfortunately it was cancelled after the one season (9 episodes). You can find the first four episodes on Surf the Channel and then hunt for the rest of them. They're also all on youtube. I found it because Maxxie from seasons 1 and 2 of Skins (looove!) plays the Danny Zuko.

 And he really is a singing/dancing Danny Zuko/Troy Bolton. Because this show is a British pop version of Fame and High School Musical with a dash of Skins flavor thrown in. Each episode (until the three at the end) focuses on a single character, telling us their story. And each episode has three original songs (musical theatre style, y'all) presented to both aid the story and make the viewer dance. And they are music-video style usually, from a black and white themed glamour-fest video to a roller disco party a little reminiscent of Starlight Express (with better music). Here are these two videos to sample: see if you like it. It's trash, but it's delightful. And it makes me want to get off my couch potato ass and dance like a motha.
