Does anyone remember a sitcom which aired in the UK in theearly 90's on channel 4 which was based in a university/college.

It wasn't saved by the bell: the college years, or USA high, however it starred either Mark Paul Gosselar or someone who looked very similar.

The only plots i can remember is an episode where they stole the school statue and broke it then had to put it back without touchign the floor or something. Also ont he first ep it was the Zach lookalike movin in and he had to shae with a guy who played the horn, the horn ended up thrown out the window.

I'm pretty sure there was 3 guys and 3 girls but can't guarantee.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Maybe it's "Running the Halls"? The lead actor was very Zack-like. It was set at a prep school, and not a college, though.

From ‘Saved By The Bell’ To ‘Hang Time’: We’re Ranking The TNBC Saturday Morning Shows

Quote:

All About Us, Sk8, Running the Halls, Brains & Brawn

Television is an inexact science. You can’t just add a dash of Saved by the Bell, a dollop of Parker Lewis Can’t Lose, and a sprinkle of Salute Your Shorts, and expect your unholy union of television tomfoolery to flourish. Case in point: the 1993 TNBC comedy Running the Halls.

Created by the mind behind Nickelodeon’s underrated teen series Salute Your Shorts, Running the Halls followed the misadventures of a group of teens attending an east coast boarding school. I’d blindly follow anyone associated with Camp Anawanna to the moon and back, but Running the Halls’ brazen attempt to recreate that one-of-a-kind Mark-Paul Gosselaar magic with its star resulted in a paltry thirteen episodes for Dr. Kahn’s television monster.

I choose to remember Running the Halls not as a colossal error in judgement by NBC, the creative team, production, the actors, and society in general, but as another in a long line of pranks perpetrated by one Bobby Budnick.
