Jemma Dobson electrocuted

Half Man Half Biscuit's biggest fan Jemma Dobson is electrocuted to death by a faulty telly. She was trying to fix it to watch the "Screen Teen" video diary she'd made being shown, but was wet from trying to fix a leak in the stupid old lady's house and the faulty plug KO'd her.

In a classy move, the credits still end with the infamous laugh, this time over a picture of her young dead face.

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.

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

@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...

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

Byker Grove: Always a barrel of laughs!

[leahcharlottte]

[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.

[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.

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

[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.

[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...

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

@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.

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!

[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?

[ChuffChowder]

one less geordie

[MisterStevenT]

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