STARStreet

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

STARStreet was a British children’s TV series on CITV, starring the pop group allSTARS* -- Sandi, Thaila, Ashley, Rebecca and Sam. The show ran for two series and 23 episodes between 2001 and 2002. The show followed the life of the band and the adventures they had in their Magical Realism house.

Tropes used in STARStreet include:
  • Getting Crap Past the Radar: In the second series there's two moments that come to mind.
    • First, when Becky, Sandi and Ashley have been shrunk and decide to play a trick on Sam and Thaila. They whisper in their ears that the other fancies them. Then this happens:

Ashley: See how her pupils are dilated
[Sam looks down at Thaila's chest]
Ashley: I said pupils! In the eyes!

    • Second is when Sam mentions Ashley should be getting ready to have a shower and Becky starts running up to his room.
  • Magical Realism: The house the band share might look like a normal -- if strangely-built -- house, but inside lots of strange things happen, including getting sucked into the sofa, getting shrunk, and being mind swapped. Oh, and there's a living hand in the fridge that started to walk around the house as of series two.
  • Once an Episode: The band will sing one of their songs, either a song from their album, a single or a B-side once an episode. Sometimes even twice an episode.
