The Secret Show

The Secret Show is a 2006-2007 British animated children's TV show produced by Collingwood O'Hare, created by Tony Collingwood and commissioned by BBC Worldwide in partnership with BBC Children's. It aired on Nicktoons in America. A total of 52 episodes were produced

Plot
The show stars two secret agents, Anita Knight and Victor Volt as they try to save the world from the latest threats to civilization. They work for the secret organization, U.Z.Z, run by their commanding agent, whose codename is "changed daily" for reasons of security, always to an unusual or ridiculous phrase. U.Z.Z also comprises Professor Professor, whose inventions and scientific background frequently save the day; Special Agent Ray who often runs missions behind the scenes; and a large team of standard agents. The episodes nearly always start with the character Sweet Little Granny and her song being interrupted by the secret agents.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) There is very funny fourth wall breaking and one-liners.
 * 2) Very unique character designs which really stand out and fantastic colors. The TV show is easily identified by its art style.
 * 3) The charismatic and energetic Victor Volt and the more serious voice of reason Anita Knight work off each other well.
 * 4) Wonderful and at times funny voice acting.
 * 5) The gags at the start of every episode where Sweet Little Granny is forced out of the screen view is hilarious. In one episode a rocket booster is attached to her rocking chair.
 * 6) Clever writing.
 * 7) It has a very creative spy plot, in the way that it is actually a show inside a show. Every episode starts off as the Fluffy Bunny Show.
 * 8) The catchy Fluffy Bunnies song.
 * 9) The time travelling episode where the main characters see Changed Daily is very cool.
 * 10) Great character design for Anita.
 * 11) The personalities of Anita and Victor are revealed perfectly in the theme song by the display of their small actions.
 * 12) Awesome ending theme which is a combination of The Secret Show theme and The Fluffy Bunny Show theme.
 * 13) Incredible and cool theme song that fits the spy genre perfectly composed by Roger Jackson. It is directed amazingly as well. It includes fantastic animation and action.
 * 14) The memorable name gag with Changed Daily at the beginning of the protagonists' mission.
 * 15) "Are you still alive?!"
 * 16) Innovative episode plots.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Victor can be a bit unlikeable at times. He is immature sometimes and causes all of the problems in certain episodes.
 * 2) Dumb and lazy character names such as Professor Professor and Doctor Doctor but it can be forgiven since its a cartoon.
 * 3) Some gross out humour in certain episodes.
 * 4) The show was a bit mean-spirited, especially towards the character Sweet Little Granny (but that's what made it funny and charming).
 * 5) It is quite gender biased with regards to Anita and Victor as the former is virtually lucky and talented at many things while the latter is a frequent victim of circumstance and a total Butt Monkey even if he brings it on himself.

Trivia

 * Ironically the show did pretty much become secret and was pretty forgotten about but the episodes aren't lost.

 * In 2007, The Secret Show won two Children's BAFTA Awards, one for the show itself (as Best Animated Show) and one for its web site.
