Pirate Islands

The last episode of Pirate islands was just shown here today (June 30) in Australia, and now that i have seen out the series I realise how much i was addicted to the show. So much so that I got my brother to tape the episodes which i couldn't be home for, and I was so distraught when he couldn't tape them for me and I had to miss out. How obsessive!

There is something which allures one to this show. Once you start watching you're addicted. i don't know if it's the whole concept that's alluring (how crazy, to be zapped into a computer game!- yet how fun!), if it's the characters (I feel Oliver Ackland might have something to do with it), or if it's the storyline and the adventure that comes with it. Whatever it is, the whole thing comes together perfectly and makes for very lighthearted, pure fun.

It's great escapism- fantasy is the best genre.

I am happy to discover that many 16, 17 even 20 something year olds love this show, despite it being a kids show. That's how cool it is.

I hope it comes out on DVD...

I can't wait for series two!

I'm not gonna cry if I miss an episode of this... ok... I do timer record it if I think I'll be away :D!!

Okay, so the story is a little far fetched... make that VERY far fetched... a special mention HAS to go to the whole mobile phone working in the islands when there isn't a sattelite to begin with.

Nevertheless, I find that I'm actually quite anxious to watch this little show everyday weekdays, I KNOW it's supposed to be a children's show... I'm 21, and loving it... a major part is perhaps... no, DEFINITELY... Oliver Ackland (Mars), the boy hits us with a couple dose of charisma and charm and I'm glued to the TV set, though the boyish smile he flashes now and again definitely doesn't do any harm!

Its not meant to win Emmys, or even maybe Logies... But once you get pass the plot holes and illogical ... erm... logics, that are often applied, and watch it for the bit of fun it's supposed to be, I think its a show that could be enjoyed by all, good bonding time with the little kids and the mums/dads, a little eye candy for the girls... MAYBE not go so well for brothers or single men in their mid 20s and older though... :)

I love this show so much and was very happy when i realized its alright for me, a 15 year old to be watching the show! I love it. I was wondering though, if there was going to be a series two, if anyone knows please write back onto this message board, and tell me, Thankyou...Creaming Soda.

I'm watching my old videotape of the show now...this program is so minty! me n my sister is are like in love with oliver Auckland or whatever (mars) and i love the assistant of the leader pirate guy (dougall) coz hes so random and funny! anywho I'm getting into the pirate fever now coz of pirates of the Caribbean and this show plus the latest fashions at supre and glassons remind me of pirates! my favourite quote of the whole series is when mars and Kate come back from the river all wet and stuff and the little sisters all like: what happened?! and the girls like: nothing... and mars is like: ...much!! i couldn't stop laughing and my bestie loves it too. anyways even though I'm like 15 this show is waaaay addictive and to tell you the truth i enjoy watching it more than season 3 of the oc...and thats like big for me coz I'm a total OC fanatic.

I know I shouldn't watch it (being after all 16 and above kid's shows) but there's something about this show that makes it really fun to watch. Maybe it is the sense of fun that pervades it, and the fact that most of the kids are good actors and there is real tension between Kate and Mars. Plus the idea of being in a computer game is fascinating.
