REECE NOI GRANGE HILL SERIES

I can remember in my class a girl and boy pupil that resembled Justine Dean and Terrance Ratcliffe, but I can't imagine them 'being together' in the same sense as they were in the series.I don't know tbh George if GH became a parody until it's last few years!

REECE NOI GRANGE HILL SERIES

Waterloo Road was almost a parody of it - and so was that Ackley Bridge series that was shown on Channel 4 last year - I think that what is was called.īut was Grange Hill itself supposed to be a parody or a satire of our own school days? On the forum that I was a member of a few years ago, I heard from members who said that they had strict deputy heads just like Mr Keating, and so on.

Yes, it's unbelievable that the final series was now ten years ago, but I have to say that during the latter half of the 1990s onwards the series could have been any parody of an average kids' drama. Though what is done now sadly is and we just have to let get go - as much as it hurts like crazy - but here is to Grange Hill's 2nd date of importance after it ending (after 5 in 2013) and it's memories it gave us over 30 years and 31 Series' and to that we can but dream what the last 10 years might have brought (and of course it's Big Big 40th ) as would have been this year!

Even after Grange Hill 'died' I held out hope until 2011 and Waterloo9 Roads' move to Scotland I had tried to hold out hope and the same on Waterloo's 'death' too in 2015 It is too hard to describe it's impact in a true way - all I can say really is growing up with it was like our Grandparents growing up with Vera Lynn, Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Connie Francis etc ande all the 1930s/40s great singers - that the only way to appreciate it was to live in that time!Īdmnitted waterloo rd made more than a faira ttempt to cover Grange Hill's demise - at leaszt until two Series' or so into the 'Glasgow era' and that made semi-sense in a way compared to Grange hill's move to an 'un-named city' as it was feasable with the accident at Gretna and going to visit a new School set up by a rich person who wanted to help. but not now I can sadly!! I guess I will just have to put it down to my youth and me and Grange hill shared 30 of our lives (as it was born a year after me)! that this was so I will forever be grateful to it for and of course Phil Redmond for creating such great characters (which as I described in the 'Refusing To Go To School Thread' provided a 'recluse/escape route' for my love/hate relationship with School from 78 to 92 or rather Secondary more so (from 88 to 93/94) - so I have to thank Grange Hill for this no doubts!! Well here we are - all you mega GH Fans like Me, Darren, George studAl etc - 10 years is nearly up (or will be next month) since we mourned the loss (though abliet not totaly) as by the time the BBC had finished it was running into mid-Summer nearly Autumn that Series 31 finished and Grange Hill closed forever!!įor the first few years I did harbour extremley deep hopes that it'd return and a mega mistake had occured and it'd return.
