This show wasn't perfect but it was good on so many levels.
If you want a short version of this review, just read the last paragraph, it sums it up.
Story:The story was fun to experience. I normally get bored of the general concept of aliens because I've heard so many stories and watched many shows/movies about aliens but they were the all same 'aliens are weird looking creatures that are highly advanced and want to take over the earth' junk, however, with Jeopardy, there is more drama, more mystery and without spoiling it, I'll just say that the story was intriguing to watch and it was not predictable unlike a lot of other shows.
Characters:They weren't generic high school characters. These days, shows with high school characters usually involve typical characters such as the popular b**chy girl, the popular that plays football, the shy girl, etc but with Jeopardy, they are characters that stood out. Each character is different to the other which makes it more fun to watch them even if their character was suppose to be frowned upon at times.
Dialogue:Everything the characters said really described who they were and how strong their friendship was with the other characters.
Although I remember there was the sort of cringey line, "I'll be your Jane", but that didn't bother me much.
I can honestly talk a lot more about this but to sum it up, this show was great, original in it's own way, characters were unique, story was intriguing and it entertained me so I highly recommend it. (Unfortunataly the series isn't airing these days and there was never a DVD release as far as I know but it's on youtube so check it out).

I used to watch this show when I was just a kid and now I am 22, watched the entire series in three days, and yet again and still love it. These series are such a great combination of suspense, human friendships and the extra terrestrial aspect is totally like no other typically seen on tv. It keeps you wanting to watch more. There is so much mystery, suspense, and unexpected scenes throughout the entire show. I greatly enjoyed watching the brilliant ending.
This honestly should be on Netflix, this was really way too good to ever be a kids show. The writers did so good, the whole concept was amazing! Made in 2002 and they were all vlogging with rechargeable solar batteries.
Season 1 just gets you hooked like nothing else, season 2 interests you to find out more about each person. Season 3 we were all dying for closure to the group and to see if they ever make it back to scotland in the UK.
The writers asked CBBC to vote. People voted for the spooky ending which ended on Harry and Lucy going back in time and showing the group the vlog tapes and convinced them not to go on he trip.
The happy ending which is basically the same episode but without the present Harry and Lucy coming inside the classroom and causing the future Harry and Lucy to split and disappear basically being dead.
Honestly should be remade or shown on TV again. Netflix has the opportunity for this show to make a hit. It was ahead of its Time. And everyone has rated this highly.
I wish this gets the recognition it really deserves. It won a BAFTA so it obviously awesome.

Yes, it probably is. I have watched the program for episode one back from the first series. The program is fantastic, the acting is great and the stories are excellent.
A group of teenagers from Scotland are part of a UFO club, headed by their teacher Mr. Simmons. As a trip for the club they go to the Australian outback, a place known for numerous UFO sightings and encounters. Strange things happen where the group arrive, the radio stops working and gives out static and various other things. Is their something out there, watching their every move? The group all film everything on DV cameras, so think Blair Witch Project meets Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
The first series was fantastic, great twists, and I thought this make quite a few scary moments, I must admit. I was disappointed by the tacky end. The second series was terrible. It was too confusing, some good ideas, but too many, so it tried to deal with all the points, making it confusing. Now the third series is a magnificent return to form, adding an Agatha Christie-esque plot, of having the group disappear one-by-one-by-one. With an excellent ending to top it off.
I really hope they bring it out on DVD or something, I'd love to watch it all again!!!

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.
