Synopsis:

Dead Gorgeous follows the comical adventures of three teenage sisters Rebecca (Melissa Howard), Sophie (Poppy Lee Friar) and Hazel Ainsworth (Alexandra Coppinger) who just happen to be ghosts!
The girls died in a coach accident in 1861 and apply to the Ghost Council to return to the world of the living. When they get their second chance they soon realise many years have passed and their old home is now a school. They now find themselves in a world unbeknown to them, surrounded by other kids their age and under the watchful eye of their colourful, disorganised ghostly guardian - Agatha (Julie Eckersley). The sisters can now relive their youth but under one circumstance - if anyone finds out about their secret they will be sent back to the afterlife, ending the opportunity to start again. Includes all 13 episodes from the series.

Rebecca, who befriends him as fellow musician, plans to achieve social status by joining the 'popular girls', but unlike school stud David, who would give her a chance, head bitch Chrstine devices a mean hazing test, 'haunting' strict arts teacher Sinclair out of her mind. The sisters decide to use their ghost powers, but get locked in. Jonathan learned so from roommate David, who felt it unfair. Jonathan thus discovers their supernatural powers. The guardian ghosts should banish at least Rebecca, but find a loophole: swearing Jonathan to secrecy with a bond, his prized plectrum.

Original Air Date-12 March 2010
Rebecca's latest angle for social acceptance is basketball, as this seems to give opposite team captain Christine access to hunky jock David, who allows her to participate in trials with initially unwilling Sophie.

Jealous Rebecca meanly throws out the locket ma kept some of her hair in, an heirloom she gave Sophie although not the eldest. Hazl discovers she can read creatures' minds, which leads to a misunderstanding about frogs. Jonathan discretely comes to the rescue to get David redeem and return the locket.

David has trouble with his book report, which may mean detention during a school match. Rebecca, who aced her on Victorian Jane Eyre, eagerly offers to tutor him. Alas she lets Christina's bunch trick her into stressing about a modern outfit and thus neglects actually preparing. A history class court simulation shocks usually quiet Hazel violently. Indeed, her childhood best friend, aboriginal sheep-herd Tom Kelly, was unjustly condemned for a gold theft. Trying to prove his innocence, she discovers the gift to make materialize creatures from her memories, who tend to cause trouble for everyone.
Season 1, Episode 5: Law of the Jungle
Original Air Date-16 March 2010
Unlike natural Hazel, Rebecca spontaneously dislikes hip-hop, until she realizes David loves it.

Charlie is not amused when Sophie tries to intervene with the 'jungle law' having discovered senior Maz Baxter bullies him into making his assignments. She still spies on and discovers he collects homework from other A-students, and sells some to David. She make Reebecca confront him and find out he never guessed Maz is too dumb himself. Now all bullied kids ask their pay, but get chased instead. Jonathan can't protect them, but an enchanted garden hose and David are another matter.

Alas it means cutting down the peppercorn tree she planted with her ma, so she seeks Jonathan's and Mattie's advice to start an environmentalist campaign. Rebecca seeks a cause of her own in vain, but comes up with a historical solution for the tree. Re-Living History S1, Ep8 19 Mar. 2010 It's Sophie's 164th birthday, but only the ghosts may celebrate that number.

Anyhow, the headmaster and Mr. Doyle preside over Living History day, when everyone reenacts a glorious day at the estate 150 years ago.

Jonathan proves a far better, inspirational tutor then Sophie. Love's First Kiss S1, Ep12 25 Mar. 2010 A handsome ghost comes out of a painting and tries to win Rebecca's heart, when all she really wants is to go to a school dance with David. Old Ghosts S1, Ep13 25 Mar. 2010 Sophie gets all worked-up when the school plans to sacrifice the old stables, including her lucky shamrock-carving, for a new media center. But the ghosts of her beloved and especially legendary bush robber Tom Kelly are even more upset, and the last manages to possess her by body-switch, so as to take action.

150 years after their death, three beautiful, strong-willed teenage sisters, are given a second-chance at life. Thrust into the 21st century, these refined but spirited Victorian girls must try to fit into a society completely alien to them, without anyone discovering they are really ghosts. Their journey begins when they find out their grand old stately home is to be re-opened as a boarding school and its not long before the girls discover that just because youre dead - doesnt mean your life is over! However hard they may try to fit in and not call attention to themselves, they'll always stand out a bit from the crowd.
