Delta Forever

Does anyone know anything about this show apart from what's on the front of this site?

COMEDY: Delta Forever
On: BBC Three
Date: Monday 19th May 2008
Time: 23:00 to 23:30

Comedy pilot about the obsessive online fans of a series of novels about teen-hero Delta, whose lives revolve around an unofficial fan-site on which they meet and greet, rubbish their rivals and generally show off. The film studio holds a secret preview screening in London of the first movie adaptation of the beloved Delta series.

Actually sounds worryingly like us lot, in a way. :-/


(That's all I got.)
 

After placebo and admin maybe its 3rd time lucky? Although I'm no fan of "wacky situation" instead of descent writing so who knows.

I found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2r_Hs27qdk

Edit: IMO the trailer isn't funny. The only good thing about it is Antonia Campbell-Hughes, and she doesn't even speak. Heh.

hmmmmmm.

what was it? won't let me view it in Ireland

I got bored halfway through the clip, which doesn't bode well. And it looks like yet another addition to the increasingly big kidcom category.

Looks a bit poo.
 

Some nice comments on the Harry Potter screen conversion, but that just wasn't funny. I think I sniggered twice through the episode, with another one or two during the closing credits. Evidently having a writing team doesn't ensure a good show.

Just ... Not funny. Don't think there's anything more that can be said.

As many, many, many American shows have proven?!
 

Best of the 3 (placebo/admin/this) but still not great - some nice moments of dialogue (last 30 secs!) but a wacky plot that distracted.

It was all right. Some funny lines!

I liked the idea.
It might have worked better if they were obsessed with a real book/film rather than the invented one. I dunno.

True, true... Still. Point being, it was bad.

It just didn't feel like it had direction. And all of that weird makeup? I'm sorry, but no. It had no one setting so didn't really work as a sitcom, and apart from people hating a movie of a book, there didn't seem to be any story. Just didn't work at all for me.
