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!!!

This is one of my favourite programmes ever! yes, its a kids programme, but its an exciting, engaging plot with some great acting in it which is worthy of a more than it was given.
For those who never saw it, it was about these school children from Scotland who went on a trip to Australia with the UFO club in search of aliens.
Although i missed the first series i got into it pretty quickly. I was drawn in by the cliffhangers *crhhhhhh* and just had to know what happened next!
As well as the sci-fi element it also draws influence from Blair witch project style filming. It also can stand in its own right as a brilliant drama as you watch the group deal with the ordeal.
It has it all time travel, alien diseases, cute actors, beautiful scenery, exciting plot....what more could you want?
You'll never see red eye on your photographs the same again!

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.
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.
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).
