I started out liking it a lot, Elton was a good character who spoke to the lonely nerd in me (I'm not ashamed to say I own ELO's greatest hits...) but I think it could have ended better, and with deeper emotion, without the paving slab ending(though I'd love to know how the hints at BJs went down in the houses with kiddy watchers...
One thing I do hate is children's TV trying to hijack it into a fully children's show. Bloody annoying.
I love ELO, myself, and I liked Elton as a character, too. But the paving slab? That goes beyond comedy and into tastelessness, I think.
On the whole, it was OK until the monster got revealed, where it went to tv hell in a rubber suit. And while I do think it's a neat idea to have some audience participation, and that kd will treasure this forever, don't they have enough children's spinoffs already, what with Project: Who? This show, at it's best, appeals to all ages. Even to the over-30s.
