Dead Gorgeous: Pilot

Check out this 2003 British pilot for a series that later became the Australian-made ABC kid's series, Dead Gorgeous.

If you stumbled onto this clip on YouTube (as some fans have done) you might think you were seeing double, with this British pilot for Dead Gorgeous.

It’s a dead ringer for the Australian kid’s production in which 3 girls interact as ghosts in a modern-day private school. The ABC-BBC series has recently finished a run on ABC1.

In this clip almost everything is identical, save for different actors and different location.

The clip is from a 2003 pilot for an earlier British version before the ABC and BBC got involved. It had a different set up to the current series too.

The Australian version, which included Blake Davis, Gerry Connolly, Julie Forsythe and even Tim Campbell, seems to have attracted quite a bit of love from fans online, who are desperate for a second season.

  1. I’m ashamed to say that i for some reason like dead gorgeous.

    It kinda takes me back a bit to the spellbinder/ocean girl/girl from tomorrow series from my childhood.

    I only watched it cause there was nothing else on iView and i took a random stab and was surprised that i liked it.

    I was puzzled when i hadn’t seen any on iView last week, it would have been nice for iView to mention it was the final ep for the season.

    I think the ABC-BBC version is much better than that one, i didn’t want to waste all my bandwidth and time watching the whole the second clip though so only watched a bit of it.
