The Secret Show is a British animated television series produced by Collingwood O'Hare Entertainment and commissioned by the BBC. The show was created by Tony Collingwood and directed by Andrea Tranter. It premiered on September 16, 2006, and aired for two seasons until its conclusion on October 6, 2007.

The show is a blend of various genres, including science fiction, spy thriller, and comedy. It centers around the adventures of two secret agents, Victor Volt and Anita Knight, who work for U.Z.Z. (The United Zoological Organization). Their job is to protect the world from the schemes of their arch-nemesis, the evil Doctor Doctor.

The main characters are voiced by seasoned actors Rob Rackstraw (Victor Volt), Kate Harbour (Anita Knight), Alan Marriott (Doctor Doctor), and Keith Wickham (Professor Professor). The cast also includes numerous supporting characters, including U.Z.Z.'s chief, Ross, and his assistant, Carrie.

One of the unique aspects of The Secret Show is its animation style, which blends 2D and 3D techniques. The show often uses split-screen effects to convey different storylines happening at the same time.

Each episode of the show is structured around the formulaic premise of Doctor Doctor inventing a new scheme to take over the world or achieve his own goals, and Victor and Anita working together to stop him. Despite the seemingly formulaic structure, the show is full of surprises as unexpected twists and turns keep the viewers engaged.

The Secret Show also features a lot of humor, which is often derived from the characters' personalities, particularly Victor's bumbling nature and Anita's dry wit. The show incorporates pop culture references and self-referential humor, as well as satirical takes on spy and science fiction tropes.

Aside from the humor and action, The Secret Show also features a strong educational component. One of the primary themes of the show is the importance of science and technology. The show uses its fantastical settings and gadgets to promote learning and curiosity, with the characters often explaining the science behind the technology they use.

In addition to science, The Secret Show also promotes critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Victor and Anita often have to come up with creative solutions to problems, and the show encourages viewers to think outside the box to solve their own problems.

Despite its educational component, The Secret Show never feels preachy or dull. The show strikes a perfect balance between entertainment and education, making it an engaging and enjoyable show for both kids and adults.

The Secret Show was critically acclaimed and won several awards, including a BAFTA Children's Award in 2007 for Best Animated Series. Despite its success, the show only lasted for two seasons, likely due to the high cost of its unique animation style.

In conclusion, The Secret Show is a thrilling and hilarious animated series that combines science fiction, spy thriller, and comedy. The show's blend of educational content and entertaining stories make it a perfect show for kids and adults alike. With its unique animation style and memorable characters, The Secret Show is a classic of British children's television.

The Secret Show is a series that ran for 1 seasons (13 episodes) between September 16, 2006 and on BBC
