Grange Hill series 12 episode #1

Back for a new term 1989. Trev's after Georgina, Tegs (Sean Maguire) is about 2 feet tall, Danny Kendall's still rebelling against the teachers and uh-oh is Ziggy in trouble...? No, but Mr Bronson scents blood..

Look out for the old characters.

Credit goes to original capper/uploader of this clip "BlizzardUK". Cheers.

ps: does anyone have any clips of the series called "Bad Boyes" - it was from the same era, but based on a book about a mischievous modern-day school boy of that name?

I think GH was really a cheeky kids' drama version of Eastenders, melding together both sunny and dull sides of life, AND profiling teenage issues. These qualities made it very important in the emergence of didactic television writing.

In recent years how many times has an announcement followed Eastenders when a social or medical issue has been depicted in the storyline? RIP GH.

I worked in a shop in London a few years ago and a ginger haired bloke walks in.

I was convinced I knew him from school and while he was walking around I'm racking my brains as to what year he was in. After about 5 minutes he goes to leave and I ask him if he went to the same school as me. He says no. I keep at it - "You must have. Where do I know you from because I definitely know you from school."

"You probably know me from Grange Hill mate - I played Trevor Cleaver!" he says.

LOL

@HammerLex77 haha great story. Funny how they got incorporated into memory as equal to real people. Only better if it had been one of the girls..

Mark Savage who played Gripper Stebson has recently made an appearance in an independent film called 'Total Reaction'. The independent film is made my Trinity X Productions and his role was a butcher! The trailers are on our channel!

wasn't the actor who played Tegs in a one off BBC drama come comedy about a tour operator some years back?? I seem to recall he was! And I think Amanda Burton (the actress in New Tricks) was also in that one off series! It was a bit like the Sky Tv series "Mile High" though not as "glossy" or magazine style but it was centred on a holiday company in Spain or Tenerife?

@MovieMad007 btw, that tv programme was called 'Sunburn' it was on in 2000.
