And so, another chapter closes on classic British television, as the very last ever episode of Grange Hill aired on the BBC yesterday.
This was probably one of the most influential children's programmes ever - and certainly in its early years I was glued to it. For several years I had a sneaking crush on Tucker Jenkins (which soon faded after Tucker's Luck when Todd Carty's hair started falling out and he began to resemble a giant eyebrow); its various characters (remember "Row-land"? "Trisha Yates"? "Gripper Stebson"?) and storylines were certainly memorable...
RIP another class act (boom boom):
Grange Hill
