Raymond Thompson and Harry Duffin devised the series, which Cloud 9 Screen Entertainment Group and Channel 5 produced. It's on 40 networks worldwide. It premiered on Channel 5 on April 24, 1999, and instantly acquired fans. Five seasons and 260 half-hour episodes were produced 1999-2003. Series 6 was scheduled to begin filming in 2003, but Nick Wilson, of Channel 5, and Raymond Thompson felt that "although the show was still performing well, the cast was getting too old and the series was beginning to stretch the core proposition." They felt the characters were not kids fending for themselves without adults any more. The show was canceled. On 6 September 2003, Channel 5 aired the final two episodes.
