Jemma Dobson electrocuted

[brandybuck1984]

Byker Grove: Always a barrel of laughs!

[leahcharlottte]

i love the silly bint just looking at gemma and the tv like a tennis match after shes killed

[richievegas01]

@HeCannaeSee Your user name absolutely cracked me up. Oh, by the way, the new Half Man Half Biscuit album is out now, ace as ever.

[rojblake82]

THis was crap and tosh as a series bloody good riddance to bad rubbish.

[eclectica1]

@rojblake82 Oh look, a brainless troll fishing for attention.

[rojblake82]

Depressing programme just, like G.H and good riddance to both tosh shows.

[rojblake82]

Stupid show and it is a bloody, good job it is over and gone B.g. R.I.P. and I nevr really liked Bg anyway it was tosh and it like G.H was deprsssing in billions of ways.

[citizensteele]

"HA HA ha ha" - right at the end, best part!

[eclectica1]

@citizensteele Done at the end of every episode of course, but seemed just a little bit wrong when played against the dying image of Jemma...

[SareyGamp]

I'd forgot about 'Half man Half Biscuit', what a great name for a band *lol*!

[JFredUK]

I remember being very shocked and numb when I realised that she was actually dead when it was aired on TV.

[jongredic]

Ahhh these were the days. I got it into my head as a kid that Spuggy did the laugh at the end. If it was, shame on her for laughing at electrocution.

[paulallan1000]

I remember working with a couple of the Byker Grove lot at Shields Fair in the mid 90's.They were canny lasses but said they would never act again cause the money was crap lol

[AidanLunn]

@retrogamer354 A telly doing that would not get past British standards PAT testing. All electrical devices are thoroughly PAT tested for electrical safety before they are sold here. An electrician or electronic engineer like myself would be able to spot a fault like the one caused here months maybe years bfore the symptoms show up. Nothing to do with the set beeing old, to do with the set being badly built. I have plenty of prehistoric sets all working perfectly with a little TLC.

[LukeChucky]

This is what happens when you don't pay your TV Licence.

[SecretlyDead]

How handy was it that she landed on the sofa?!

[ArwenPendragon]

p.s. Gemma was the stupid one for trying to watch tv in a flooded house!!

[ArwenPendragon]

I remember this! It completely traumatised me at the time, I was about 9! Good times!! \0/

[trawets2010]

haha I remember watching this and was soooo shocked when the next episode was her funeral I was like no way

remember Jemmas boyfriend Gary went out with Jemmas best friend Angel later then a Jemma lookalike appeared an dhe become obsessed with her!

[ChuffChowder]

one less geordie

[MisterStevenT]

That laugh is creepy when it's played over an image of her dead face.

[AngelicStorm1]

@MisterStevenT That looped laugh was always creepy... At least it was to me! lol But yep, it sounds especially sinister when played over an image like that. Brr...

[rocksoliddude1]

the acting was so hideously bad i was always glad to see people die in this

[bigjim311085]

how did they get away with showing this kind of thing to children in the early nineties?? now they think THIS is how to act!! we're facing a generation of keanu reeves-esque thespianism - quick, to the sea to drown ourselves!!

[dramakid95]

Well, if anything, it tells them NOT to touch faulty sockets. Or go on drugs. Or get pregnant. Do you wish me to go on?

[Laauurraa]

I'm proud to say that the 'stupid, stupid old woman' is my grandmother : )

[gloryglory786]

ur a joka i love that comment looooool, btw she's not stupid at all

[Jamiethewookie]

Don't cry about it lad. CALL A FUCKING PARAMEDIC!!!!!

I remember seeing this first time round

[microkmeb]

Anybody thinking about calling an ambulance? Try to resuscitate her yourself? No takers?! Okay, she's screwed then!!

[sonicology]

Clearly you don't know what you are talking about. What is important here is not organising urgent medical assistance for the victim but rather finding someone to blame for the accident and making them feel as bad as possible.

To this end his outburst of "you stupid stupid old woman!" was probably the perfect response upon encountering the situation.

[iwishiwastaller7]

I love it how unfussed the old woman is

[NikeMckenzie]

"ooh, its never done that before" LOL

[neilam6]

LMAO god that was funny

[artghur]

This really scared me when I was a kid. I wouldn't go near any kind of switch for weeks....

[MarkieMcQueen33]

God this is years old it brings back memories. I was gutted when Jemma died, had a bit of a crush on her!

[pel1can]

she's still warm, dude.

[oscaandchloe]

Where oh where are the old Byker Grove episodes, with the twins Alfie and Anna........

[MidlandNinja]

When was this?

[badbob1983]

MCMXCIV = 1994

[tidykris]

Stupid stupid old jemma dobson i think!!

She should know not to play about with faulty plug sockets when stood knee deep in water lol!!!

[jessnorth25]

haha that "old woman" is my Nana!!!!

[oscaandchloe]

This was a super episode.the older grove was very good when Matthew Robinson was Producing it.......

[ws1a37]

That was a faulty plug, it must be replaced.

Electricity can kill.

[tacutts]

her eyes moved!

[Chriskey83]

Stupid stupid old woman
