Thank you!!!!!!!! I’ve been trying to google this for weeks and nothing. Now to rewatch the show on You Tube!
This show aired on ABC Kids in Australia around 2003/2004/2005. It was possible British, American or Canadian—the main boy definitely had an English accent. The show was about three teenagers at high school, and basically in each episode they get thrown into some kind of supernatural occurrence either at school or on a field trip or whatever. The main boy definitely had a British accent, and I remember him looking kind of like Samuel Barnett from Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency (I’ve IMDB’d it, it’s not him). I think the other two main characters are a dark-skinned girl and a red-haired boy. Might be remembering that wrong though. The only episode I can remember is one in which the trio are stuck on a train that is caught in some kind of time crisis—either time is frozen or it keeps repeating itself, something along those lines. Anyway, the episode ends with a big finale where the main guy runs across the train and stops the minute-hand of the clock with his finger. Can’t remember why he does this, but for whatever reason it saves the day. I think the show might have been called “Weird” or “Too Weird” or something like that. There was a Disney channel show called “So Weird”, but it’s not that one.
