RIP Grange Hill

Granted i havent watched it since the late 80's but in its heyday this was just superb viewing. Classic TV back in the early-late 80's with some great characters.
Sad its reincarnation didnt attract tons of viewers but always thought its time would be up soon (surprised it went on so long).
The repeats on a saturday morning (After Why Dont you) in summer holidays were always great to watch back in the day.

what AGAIN?!
they killed it when they moved the school to the other end of the country (wtf?) I thought they'd already axed it once since then
Just Say No!
There hasn't been any Tucker, Gripper or Ronson for a very long time
was there ever a ronson? :-D
When was that?
Yeah, imagine bringing it back. That never works. What'll they try and revive next - Dr Who? You may as well try and resusitate some old programme like Come Dancing.
Haha! Danny Kendal the smackhead, wasn't there a scene where he was sniffing glue in the back of a transit van :lol:
You daft bastard!
yeah that was it, all the kids would go round in the school calling each other gluesniffer after that, ha ha. well our school anyway, the kids in grange hill had more respect.
What! I still call people glueys now, you fuckin' gluey :lol:
I really do though, my wife hates it :D
very amusing boozy, can we get back on topic tho.
not sure why this show has to even stop being shown, i mean its for kids, you watch it when your a lad, then you get a job and you aren't in at that time. they could easily talk about todays issues. or just keep it as a pleasent prog about kids at a nice school, isn't there a place for thar anymore?
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH!!!!!!!! :lol:
Keep the women away from the keyboard eh :D
ha ha, gaylord. :p
On a more 'harder' note....Georgina Hayes :-P

I thought that was Byker Grove? (which I never liked, I don't know why I watched it)
Yup, it was:

Some of the worst acting in TV history 20 seconds in!
Same here, I know why you watched it. You knew it was crap but something about that program kept you glued. How do you think I felt, I'm from Newcastle, and I still cringe when people say Byker Grove, I didn't watch it after all of the original cast was gone, but what I did watch made me red with embarressment. The accent is totally OTT, "WI! Ayeeee! man yer dafteeee!!!", and it is even more geographically unsound than Spender (another embarressment to the north east). They leave the grove walk into Manors Metro Station, inside the station is actually West Jesmond and not Manors, then they get on the train heading towards the coast, and end up at the Angel of the North.
To rub salt in the wound half of the actors are Maccums too, not Geordies, but that probably explains why the accent on 2/3rds of the cast is completely out of whack.
It was like the Truman Show down by way, never went above Oxford until i was 21. Its weird all these funny accents ;)
apparently it had the same effect on zammo in real life. :D
Now he can't manage to fix a lock without half a dozen ginsters pasties and a packet of lard luckily Roly has a kebab shop just down the road so they came to an arrangement. If there is any spare totty he sends it roly's way and in return he get's to eat all the left over pies and kebab drippings for breakfast.
where were the cucumbers going?
Haha that reminds me of school, by the time my year had came around to that lesson the teach just put a Jimmy Hat on a banana (Probably cutting costs, and it was too expensive to give everyone a rubber, that's probably why 1/3rd of the girls in my years left early with a bun in the oven :lol:). The teacher was so embarressed doing it his head was almost purple, it got even worse cos he broke the first blob as well, and somebody shouted "you're clueless sir! Want me to come up and show them how to do it!". It wasn't me I was always up for rocking the boat in class but somebody beat me to the punch, and it was so funny I'm glad I didn't say anything :lol:
You may have had to have been there to see the funny side though :D
something a bit creepy about male teachers showing you how to put a johnny on.
still though, funny story boozy, but lets get back on topic.
does anyone know when the last episode of grange hill will be on?
