Great Escape
 Ship to Shore / int_2562da69
comment
Great Escape: As its title implies, "The Grate Escape" is an Affectionate Parody, in which the kids' attempt to sneak off the island to attend a pop concert is played using as many prison break tropes as possible.

Police Are Useless
 Ship to Shore / int_59907e4f
comment
Security Is Useless: The ASNOT security team. They seem to take their job very seriously, patrolling the entire island for anyone who may be doing even the slightest bit wrong (sort of like the island's police force). They are also, unfortunately, ineffective. The Head of Security, Hermes Endakis, is especially inept.

Unit Confusion
 Ship to Shore / int_6112a91d
comment
Unit Confusion: In one episode, a report (later revealed to be false) came in of a tsunami 30 feet (10 meters) high. Since some of the older islanders still used imperial units, the confusion snowballed to the point that the wave was supposedly 900 meters (3000 feet) high, and the islanders prepared for Armageddon.

Covered in Gunge: In "The Grate Escape" an ecological protest at a concert rapidly devolves into an all-out paint fight. Julie's attempt at leadership in "Follow The Leader" also leads to a paint fight.

Soapbox Sadie: Julie. She's all about the environment and strongly dislikes the ASNOT base being on the island. She'd almost be a Granola Girl, with her love of whale music and occasionally hippie clothing, but that's as far as it gets with her.

Put on a Bus
 Ship to Shore / int_754df088
comment
Put on a Bus: Series 3 had a massive cast upheaval, with a lot of the child cast (and a few of the adults) travelling over the bridge. Only a few are made obvious: Babe gets a recording contract. The Knowles family do a switch with the Leong family, and Andrew takes command of his base while James Leong takes on ASNOT. Ralph does come back in the penultimate episode. Julie heads to university, but returns in the final episode. Lou got a programmer's position in a games company. Andrea Shelby got a teaching position on the mainland. Sally was put on a bus in Series 2. This may have been for the best; she wasn't the most rounded character.

The Food Poisoning Incident: All the adults except Hermes and Ms Selby eat some bad oysters in the "Follow The Leader" episode and the children are left in charge of the communications base while they puke their guts out.

Ascended Extra: Gavin originally appeared in only one episode in Season 1, when Julie and Kelvin decided to set up a holiday camp. The very next season, his family decided to move to Circe Island, resulting in him joining the main cast.

Only Known by Their Nickname
 Ship to Shore / int_a7850fbf
comment
Only Known by Their Nickname: Babe's real name is Bianca Keogh. Everyone Calls Her Doc: Louelle Docherty is called "Lou" and "Doc" in equal amounts, but this trope gets subverted as, while she is certainly a very gifted individual (contrasted by her blonde hair), she's still in high school, and obviously not in possession of a doctorate of any kind. She still helps her father around the lab at ASNOT, though, when she's not helping herself.

The Most Dangerous Video Game
 Ship to Shore / int_ab3b6852
comment
The Most Dangerous Video Game: In one of the episodes, the kids played a choose-your-own-adventure video game and, on a whim, gave the player character the appearance and name of Hermes Endakis. Shortly thereafter, it turned out that whatever calamity befalls the game's hero also soon happens to the real Hermes in real life. The episode doesn't make it clear if the game really could affect reality or if it was just a series of coincidences.

 Ship to Shore / int_cdb965a9

Numbered Sequels: While it is evidently supposed to be all the same series, the titles for each season had the season number in it, giving the impression it was a sequel to the original series. This tended to carry over to the TV guides.
