24Seven (2001–2002) User Reviews

The Best British show I've seen in years

[darkslayer · 29 January 2003]

I turned on 24Seven expecting a piece of crap, but the minute I saw it I was already hooked. I especially enjoyed the Anya-Chris-Miles love triangle, along with Drew's dyslexia, and it gained enough leverage with me to name it the best British show I've seen since Monty Python's Flying Circus or Waiting for God. Go watch it now on The-N (USA) or CiTV (UK)!!

love it

[skizdi · 30 April 2003]

I, being a naive American girl, love just about everything about the British. That's why I watched '24Seven' to begin with. What can I say? It didn't disappoint, and I love it. Love the accents, love the actors (esp. Royce Cronin), love the light, generally inconsequential storylines. The theme song (in the US) is great, too.

Refreshing

[Belatrix · 5 November 2002]

Light-hearted, cheesy, colorful, and a lot of fun -- 24Seven may seem like any other teen show, but underneath it's got a lot of freshness and wit. Great cast -- not the best actors but fantastic chemistry. Much better than most "adult" full-hour dramas on TV.

Drama in Darwin Family

[j_a_legreve-2 · 30 May 2002]

This is an awesome show from England about kids at a boarding school called The Oaks. The main family is the Darwin Family of Discovery House. There are extremely funny moments and every episode ends in a cliff-hanger of drama. Anya is house parent who finds out her boyfriend (Miles) is cheating on her. The other house parent is Chris, Mile's brother, who want to be a journalist against his dad's wishes and is also in love with Anya. Then there's Tally, who's mother is a famous actress, and instead of visiting her, sends her an annual check worth a lot of money. Tally's first roommate is Bethan, a girl from Wales who has a deep secret. Their other roommate is Jax, a rebel with a cause, to get expelled. There's also Stagsy and Drew, the jokesters of Darwin Family who put washing powder in people's coffee. Finally there is Beans, musically inclined, but always effected by something. Once he was accused of having an affair with Niamh, Jax's mother and The Oak's music professor. These people have to live together, go to school and cope with life 24/7.

Britain's #1 TV export for 2002 is a winner

[zootipantz · 24 October 2002]

This show takes place at Oaks boarding school in England, and focuses on nine students who reside in the one of the school's dorms, called Discovery House (which is run by its occupants, all teenagers): Anya, Miles, Chris, Beans, Jax, Bethan, Drew, Stags and Tally. Miles and Chris are brothers, and Miles always looks for ways he can stab his brother in the back; Anya is the gorgeous but delicate girlfriend of Miles (and for whom Chris has a mad crush on, which she seems to reciprocate); Jax is the rebellious one of the bunch, and Beans is her flaky best bud who lives in D.H. attic; Staggsy and Drew are also best buds, and the youngest members of the House; and Bethan is the shy, underconfident overachiever who has a passion for track, and who lives with the self-absorbed American Tally).

The stories aren't particularly heavy, but are quite entertaining nonetheless. It all comes down to the fact that the characters are so likeable (save for Miles), and the actors and actresses portraying them are so winning. Fiona Wade especially sparkles in her role as Anya Vicenze. She lights up the screen in every scene she's in, and her upscale English accent is the best and classiest this side of Daljit Dhaliwal. I'd listen to the show on radio if I had to just to hear her speak.

All in all, worth 30 minutes of your time (commercials included).

Loved This Show!!!

[ZacAttackFeelsGood · 22 January 2005]

I loved this show when it was on. The final season (before it got canceled) was one of my favorites. Stagsey and Drew get in a lot of trouble (as always), Anya and Chris get very close, and the school trip almost got canceled. In addition, Stagsey had a crush on Bethan, which I can't blame him for, Beans comes to hate a teacher, and many more things.

I loved this show because it had many hilarious plots, dramatic episodes, and teen situations that we can all relate to.

I wish this show was still on, because taking this show off the air was a HUGE mistake.

Endearing

[Snoopy1 · 5 January 2003]

I don't know why I like this show, but I do. I'm too old for it, but after seeing the endless commercials for it during "Daria" I somehow got interested. Something about it is sort of endearing. It's one of those cheesy teenage soaps without being overly melodramatic, and it makes me laugh. Americans can catch it on The-N, if you have satellite.

England, cute guys, hello? what more do you need?

[Mary-Kate · 22 September 2002]

This show is awesome, and it may not be your average show...it does seem to be "cheaply" made but it rocks! So check it out in the-n....night time on noggin! I know, cheesy right? but hey, its THEIR slogan ~*Mary-Kate*~
