Plot[]

Jeopardy is about a group of eight secondary-school students and their teacher from Falkirk, Scotland, who travel to the Australian bush to look for UFOs. They are given camcorders to record any sightings, and the series makes extensive use of 'found' footage, ostensibly recorded by the characters themselves.
