Grange Hill

[Daisy Steiner]

There was some programme on C4 last night about Grange Hill circa 1986 and it magically transported me back to my childhood. So, I think some Hill love is overdue.

Were you allowed to watch it (a lot of my friends were not!)? If so, what era? Who were your faves (pupils and teachers)?

I was 12 in 1986 so Zammo, Ziggy and Ro-land were all a part of my formative years (I was very disappointed to see Gripper Stebson at the reunion last night looking like a pasty-faced IT consultant - I had a huge crush on him and his bad-boy ways..........). And of course, who could forget evil Mr Bronson and his equally nasty ginger toupe?!

Even the opening credits were ace (with the big sausage!) and don't get me started on the theme music. So come on in and share the Grange Hill love.



By the way, has anyone else noticed how Justin Lee Collins looks like he could be Evil Pete's hyperactive big brother?
