Goofs:

Continuity: Episode Two: Sky and Arby are in the school library and decide to "borrow" an atlas. Arby is holding the book as he goes through the door to the corridor but does not have it when they emerge on the other side. To cover this mistake, episode three has Roy return to the school to pick up a torch his father has dropped confronting Sky and he finds the atlas on the corridor floor.

Quotes:

Dr Saul: [about Sky] Feelings of persecution, a sense of being special. It's a typical case of messianic fantasy compensating for social rejection, the old God from outer space thing.

Weird and Wonderful

So glad I've found this on IMDb.Many's the time I've thought back to the strange, delicate,alien boy from my childhood viewing days. Sky had blue eyes - I mean all blue, no pupils, and was the stuff of my childish fantasies (I was 9, so he probably played Sindy's with me...) and when the Evil forces were coming to do unspeakable things to him, the wind would blow and the leaves would whoosh around in a sort of Force of Nature warning...Ooh I've come over all funny again. I absolutely loved it and would give anything to get my hands on an episode. I understand HTV only have 5 out of 7 left - come on guys, release them - I'm tired of watching my Trumpton DVD's...Did it have an unhappy ending - I seem to remember Sky disappearing - in anguish or triumph? Please let me know someone. I really need to watch this again so please contact me if you have any information as to Sky's whereabouts...
