Admitted both Melissa and Michelle was/are attractive but good looking no. In GH there were many more beauty's before Jackie, eg Julie Marchent, Laura Regan, Julia Glover, Ronnie Birtles, Fay Lucas (very good looking indeed) and the same for Corrie with eg Becky and Kylie to name but 2 who are way better looking Imho than Tina.

i font think the beeb realies how popular this show was and still is.
its been a part a huge part of my life as it has been for so many here
GH and dr who are probably its two greatest most successful shows.
I never knew it moved from london to liverpool on 03.
They are all good actors who was in GH , but you can not expect them to be as as perfect to rid them of a Liverpool accent (or Birmingham or Newcastle if thhese were the chosen locations or actors acme from there) at that age - which was how Phil was hoping GH could be set "anywhere" I believe

The BBC had never truly loved Grange Hill as one of their own, yeah it got commisioned year on year for 30 years but as soon as the BBC saw a good point to give it a lethal injection they took this chance, as IMHO it was gradualy becoming an irritation (of sorts) to them - hence the move from London to Liverpool for Series 26 in 2003. This was the one of the major bug-bears because it would not of really been still wanted in London (or at Elstree anyway). If any fan's of Grange Hill love it so much, whatever you think or even if you think it's had it's best days before 2003 - we should oranise a petition I think to prove the BBC anbd get it back on TV - if not on the BBC on any other channel willing to take a gamble!

Exactly, that is ludicrous. I recall too in 1991 you could clearly hear Sacrifice by Elton John and Elton is arguably one of the biggest top 5/7 mega-star's ever and he has never argued with the BBC about this (if he know's about it), but what I mean is it is an un-tapped ocean to these type of Artists and they are bound to let a few bob go by every now and then.
So to me, this suggests it's the BBC being their usual stingy selves ... the money they earn they could offer artists certain deals to like Elton John, George Michael, The Spice Girls, Diana Ross etc etc any kind of money imaginable I think!

Re: Grange hill
It's often artists & music publishers who want a lot of money or just plain refuse to redraft a deal.
In the past the BBC just had to do the cheapest deal for a couple of showings, when having repeats every few years & home video - DVD released seemed like science fiction.
Even some American progammes have had this problem. Daria took years to come out on DVD as it used a lot of music that would cost a lot to licence for home release.
After a long time waiting most of it was replaced with stock music (a little easier to do with a recent catoon with the original voice tapes surviving) though that still probably cost a fair amount to do.

Originally posted by Richard1978 View PostI think it's down to paying royalties for featuring songs in programmes before home video was common & no agreement regarding payments was made.
Some of the Dr Who DVD's have had to replace the original music with stock tracks.
It is a pathetic policy I think tough Richard considering the Money "Dear Old Auntie" rakes in from the TV Licence! This just proves the BBC should scrap it out with every other Station and pay their own way ... then may-be Grange Hill may JUST return to TV!
