As pilots go, for the Children's market this one was pretty good and quite a shame it wasn't made into a full series. The writing was very clever and very funny and aimed well at the right age-group throughout. A very talented cast give it their all creating some wonderful characters to enjoy. An amusing title, self-referencing another BBC program which most certainly DID get past the pilot stage (with a cameo from a lead actor from that series, no less). I confess I didn't actually see the other pilots but if this was anything to go by i'm sure whichever were actually picked in the end certainly must have been very highly quality Children's TV.
