Grange hill

Re: Grange hill

I often find actors in their "before they were famous" phase appearing in adverts and as extras in other shows. Grange Hill actors were no exception.

If you remember the 1986 series of Grange Hill, you may remember the actor David Straun who appeared as the Maths teacher and Fay Lucas crush Mr King. Here he is in a Woolworths advert from 1983, getting excited about Cadbury's Dairy Milk being only 15p:



And this was the previous item being seen - very ironic considering Mr King's involvement with Fay Lucas in the series:

Favourite character was Peter (Tucker) Jenkins.

A reaaly good searies to watch is a spin-off to GrAnge Hill called Tucker's Luck

The first was exceedingly good indeed but the 2nd was not as good I thought

Though I am no Tucker fan all us GH Fans have to be thankful for him being one of the very first characters that set the stone/s for years and years later

Re: Grange hill

I started watching when they repeated it on Sunday morning in the 1990s - I was probably too young for the original transmissions.


Favourite pupil characters:

Calley Donnington (in her 1988-1989 persona)
Trisha Yates (1978-1979)
Karen Young (a bit too recent, I know)
Justine Dean (circa 1990 - she was just like an adult woman when she was in scenes with Tegs Radcliffe)

Wild card: Imelda Davis - and she was wild!

Favourite teacher characters:

Mr Mitchell (1978 - the founder)
Mr Scott (1987)
Mr Smart
Scruffy McGuffy
Mr Knowles - the student teacher

Wild card: Mr Butterworth - seen on the St Alban's trip in 1983.

Re: Grange hill

VERY EARLY ONE THIS.
1980

I think that this one Darren has to be more sought after than all the others as (though I may be wrong, possibly) I am sure it has no year given on the cover or inside possibly too!
