Cavegirl

The above was how the Radio Times described this programme; personally I wouldn't go that far....

Thank you Amazon Prime, Cavegirl is a jewel of a series, very funny, deceptively light but dealing with issues of male and female identity, self-image, collective dynamics, the role of the 'other' - and the protagonist, Cavegirl, is cursed with not only being the most intelligent person on the planet, but is also a teenager on the cusp of adulthood - a combination guaranteed to irritate the heck out of just about everyone. There's a lot more where that came from - don't you dare go away!

I like the energy, and I love the idea, but I just couldn't get through this. It's silly, on purpose, and that part is good. Somehow the men are all clean shaven, and the women have blow-dried hair. You have black and Asian people randomly appearing - how did that happen? But that's ok, this is a comedy after all.

But the camera work - ugh. For some reason the camera is constantly doing so many close-ups on heads and faces that you can't see the scenery. And the scenery looks really repetitive and uninteresting. Maybe that's because it was difficult to find a location in the UK where no buildings were visible? But there are ways around this (even Gilligan's island gave us an illusion of a large island when in fact it was a small lot in back of a studio). Or at least show us the different seasons - seems it's always Summer. Where are the winters?

Also, this is supposed to be a cavegirl, so you would think she lives in a cave. Instead of caves, her people seem to live in huts and shaded rock outcroppings. They couldn't even find a proper cave to film in?

In response to whoever wrote the previous comments, 'dirty old mans dream', it is a kids programme on a kids channel CBBC. It is not meant to be entertainment for adults, the programme is set in caveman times hence the names Trunk and Cave girl and Big Sis is what Cave girl calls her older sister (I call my older brother Big bro). The programme is good light hearted kids TV. My only reservation is perhaps the programme is slightly to short, only being about 15 minutes long, although its difficult to get children to sit down for much longer, a problem easily solved by showing two episodes back to back, like with Tracey Beaker. Compared to some of the rubbish on kids TV these days this is by far one of the best programmes on, and it is of some educational value- learning about stone age practises. Not a classic but descent enough

I think 10 minutes isn't long enough at all. I think cave girl is brilliant and I'm 18 (yeh maybe i should get a life)It teaches children basic morals as well which i think is really cool for a show normally children's TV shows are pretty violent but this isn't. The show is humorous too, and like someone said the scenery is gorgeous. i only really saw cave girl the first time because my favourite singer Ruslana dresses as a hutsul cave girl in her shows and i thought it'd be interesting to watch cave girl and i really liked it :D Oh and i have to mention Cave girl is gorgeous! I love the title track too you just have to sing along to it. Wow!
