Brilliant!!

I love this! It's a cute show with a witty script and some great story lines. Noah & Saskia also has a great theme, as I have not seen many shows that are about good internet friendships. The only ones I have seen are about the ones with creeps on the end (like Sarah Platt in Coronation Street a while back). I love the way they show the closeness of the two as it reminds me of me and my close internet friend. They've done it really well. Noah & Saskia, for those who don't know, is a teenage based programme about two internet friends, Noah King and Saskia Litras (obviously, hence the title!!) who work on a website/comic thing together in their spare time and the programme shows them going on through their everyday lives by day, at school and such, and how they get on. Like Saskia will have falls out with her friends and Noah has a little cousin Eddie to deal with. Despite the fact that Noah lives in London and Saskia in Austrailia, they consider themselves the best of friends, under the alias Max Hammer (for Noah) and Indy (for Saskia). Blumenau and Greenwood are great as Noah and Saskia, as they capture the whole thing brilliantly. They're really good actors and I hope to see more from them. They are very convincing as their characters. This is one of the best things I have seen from CBBC so far. I really recommend this if you are looking for a great way to spend half an hour, and if you like teenage friendship type of shows. Wicked!!
