Series overview
A six-part comedy series for the whole family, Showkids is set around a very
special after-school drama class for talented kids, run by the brilliant but
super-intimidating Miss Jessop.
The show is seen through the eyes of 12-year-old Sam Curtain, whose constant
daydreaming is starting to cause mayhem in his life. When his parents stumble across
Miss Jessop’s, they wonder if drama might be the perfect way to harness Sam’s
imagination?
Sam soon finds he’s discovered his tribe – other kids with equally vivid imaginations,
inspired by Miss Jessop to use drama to help solve the problems they’re experiencing in
their own lives. As well as experiencing his first, terrifying taste of showbiz, Sam has
finally found somewhere he is free to let his imagination run wild – but this time, with a
purpose!
