![]() The main difference I liked was the fact that none of the characters are immune to the Headmaster's powers, making him seem more of a genuine threat. The series retains the original's plot of the Headmaster's control of a school using hypnotism, but it manages to stay fresh with its different approach to characterisation. For a show aimed at children to be so subtly imbued with political ideas is impressive to say the least. The Orwellian references are pretty explicit, but not overwhelmingly so, and feel really natural to the storyline and reflect genuine fears in modern society. ![]() I was able to see how necessary it was to continue it in modern age, what with the politics around academy schools, and particularly the domination of technology in our lives. However, I was pleasantly surprised, having been hooked by the end of the first episode. I liked the '90s series as a kid, and couldn't picture how it could work in the 2010s. ![]() ![]() When I first heard The Demon Headmaster had been 'revived', I was initially quite sceptical. ![]()
