Grange Hill - LOST TROUSERS - (Part 1 of 2) Season 1 - Episode 4 - (1978)

nothing nasty is going to happen ? of course they are going to get water up there nose !

[itsallabouthejourney]

@WiccanHighPriest0 There is little or no discipline for kids today. You talk of kids in the old days, yes they still where little rascals, yes they probably went apple scrumping, but compared to today's kids? Mmm I think you're the one wearing Rose tinted glasses. Kids today are far different, they are more spoilt, have absolutely no respect because they have more rights than most of us, and are wrapped in cotton wool.

Mr Michell sounds like Jim Broadbent

and I agree in this age of child paranoia there is no way they'd show the boys in just their swim trunks

[KoolKuteKat]

I'm a kid of the 90's and I'd never seen these before, but I love this! :)

[Stan249]

Fucking Hell Justin!

[WiccanHighPriest0]

Forced sorries? As stupid as hitting kids - teaches them nothing useful

[WiccanHighPriest0]

Hmm Jenkins has a weird idea of logic... it's someone's fault they got thrown in cus they made a fuss about not being thrown in? Jenkins is such a moron

[lilmissjester]

If there was such a program today that allowed kids to feature in only underwear it would be classified as kiddie porn .... Its utter NONSENSE what is considered unacceptable nowadays

[atstanandollie]

@UKTVClassics I asked Terry Sue Patt about this incident (he played Benny) he said...

"You are right, stuggled without me water wings!"

Well spotted!

This is much more realistic than I remember Grange Hill being.  It must have got a lot more PC and less realistic in the early 1980s. I was at a comp in 1978 ( never saw these very early episodes, strangely ) and this is just what it was like. Mr.Mitchell is a perfect example of how teachers can be very decent to the kids but still be strict when they need to be. I totally approve of the old ways, including the slipper and the cane and kids doing what they were told.

[WiccanHighPriest0]

@verysmallclock it's got nothing to do with PC - being violent to kids teaches violence. Take off your rose tinted glasses and look at what kids were like in the old days. And ask 100 chavs whether they get smacked at home - majority will say yes. Teaching kids to care for others (along with discipline and praise where relevant) helps - hitting doesn't. Moneky see, moneky do. And you can hardly tell a kid not to hit another kid if you hit that kid! Contradictory or what?

[TheGoldStandardBoy]

@verysmallclock Well I left school in 2006 and obviously I was never caned or slippered. Didn't do me any harm! In fact I'm a quite decent and respectable young man.

[patrick180271]

Perranporth,to the best of my knowledge,Michael Percival,whp played Mr.Tony Mitchell is in real-life a recently retired teacher-as this was filmed in summer 1977 ,and transmitted in early 1978,I'd say the actor was in his early 30s then,so would be in his early-mid 60s now

[EggyTrain360]

poor justin, there so fucking cruel to him, s.o.b.

[ShinyHappyPurple]

Water wings are called Floaties here in Australia. Weird. btw I haven't watch Grange Hill in over 15 years. Certainly brings back memories.

[Forestamtul]

Naughty Tucker who can be rude as well.

[GoldenLegends]

School Teachers today would not be allowed in the water with children in case they "touch them" - isn't that stupid!

[xraycortina]

Teachers in the UK can't do a lot with disruptive kids. We got the cane, that was a simple and effective deterrent after the first time.

[WiccanHighPriest0]

@xraycortina no it wasn't. It was not effective at all - it just taught kids to hide their behaviour. And it sent a contradictory message - telling a kid "don't hit people" whilst hitting the kid for hitting someone!

[JimmyG1801]

@GoldenLegends IF I WAS A TEACHER I WOULD CERTINLY TOUCH THEM!!!

[shaunykokane]

Sexy!!!

[dimebolt1976]

Serious question - In today's PC and fear driven society that people always go on about, do you think these Grange Hill episodes would have been made when they included children in their underwear? I just think it's such a different world compared to back then. Back then no one batted an eye-lid, rightly so, but now people would be calling for heads to roll...

[ethanr432]

sad comment on todays world.... sheesh. Although as a kid i loved these scenes LOL....now I think your right.. makes it seem a bit creepy with the teacher... and his staring at the boys

[GoldenLegends]

You are so right my friend! School teachers today would not be allowed in the pool with the children in case they "touched thm" How stupid is that!

[xl0vex97x]

@GoldenLegends lol :L in da school next to mine, if like someone was drowning or something and a teacher jumped in to save them... the kid wouldprobably still say stuff to get them in truble xD lol

[steveharley0345]

@dimebolt1976

You have a very good point. people would go crazy over it, wouldn't they.

[VinnyMonster1]

@dimebolt1976 I seriously doubt it. The political correct regime is idiotic to say the least.

[weespud212008]

mr garfield DIDN'T care about his job all he cared about was his dirty pissy smelly moppin brush wich i wouldnt let me cat look at

[Perranporth]

The actor who played Mr Mitchell must be about 70-odd now. Does anyone know what happened to him?

[EggyTrain360]

i like justine

[mikemurphy73]

Many thanks for uploading these early episodes of Grange Hill. It is great watching these episodes again. It brings back a lot of memories. :-)
