Grange Hill last night

[Dick Swiveller]

Anyone else what the retro kids TV night on BBC 4 last night? Missed Play School but watched Newsround from 1973, Blue Peter from 1974 and Grange Hill from the mid 80's. I had forgotten all about Laura Regan! It was always her or Georgina Hayes for me.

So, people of a certain age, who was your Grange Hill crush?

Yep. Watched it after the football. The Laura memories came flooding back!

I seem to remember fancying Claire who I believe was caught snogging Stewpot in a cupboard at one stage.

She is surprisingly young - currently only 69 which would have meant she was in her 30s when playing Mrs McCluskey.

Did not see that it was on. Hopefully some catch up arrangement is available. I feel sorry for kids today and the stuff they have to put up with on T V.

This brings back a few memories:

Most of the early series are on YouTube.

Amazing to see some of the things on there from the early years. Saw one episode where Doyle was reading Playboy!

Aye I had a bit of a fancy for Georgina. I recall, quite movingly, that she got together with Ziggy in that generation's last episode, their hands a-clasp and loving as they strode from the grounds.
Was it her also that Trevor Cleaver was besotted with and had to drink a quarter-bottle of vodka to find solace with whilst away on that epic barge trip? I think the trustworthy Vince Savage found his forlorn and dribbling form at the base of a small crooked bridge.

Yeah the first year of Grange Hill (1978?) the girlies weren't really eye candy. So I reckon Claire (Paula Ann Bland) was my favourite hotty from the early days.

Zammo's young lady was pleasant as I recall.

Don't say no, NO.

I never watched it but earlier this year I was dating the girl that used to play Tanya(?) in the last few years of the show.
