The problem with Woke writing is that it just isn’t funny or interesting. You dont have to be hurtful to be funny, but you also don’t have to go so far the other way that the whole situation becomes sanitised.Yeah, the good old days when Gripper could call Roland a fat **** and nick his dinner money every day without some woke bastard teacher telling him it was wrong.
Yeah went out with her lookalike for 2 years in schoolI used to like Julie Marchant played by Lisa York.
She got her baps out in some film, nice pair.Think I remember some young lad crush on this girl.
It was Cathy Hargreaves for me - Trisha Yates best mate.I used to like Julie Marchant played by Lisa York.
Agree mate. And Grange Hill trod that line well. It was gritty and realistic- when I watched it back the other week it took me right back to my schooldays.The problem with Woke writing is that it just isn’t funny or interesting.

Cracking show. Tackled real scary stuff, Zammo’s storyline scared the life out of me.. the woke version would have an ‘intervention’ and his empowerment to a better life. Which is barely ever the case in reality.Agree mate. And Grange Hill trod that line well. It was gritty and realistic- when I watched it back the other week it took me right back to my schooldays.
Speaking of Lindy Brill, here's Cathy Hargreaves in Grange Hill singing Black Widow. Serious questions need to be asked as to why she was hanging around with the likes of Justin Fucking Bennett!What about Lindy Brill ( Cathy Hargreaves ) !? She was gorgeous !
Agree. It was very hard-hitting. I was at secondary school between those years too but I was a fan from day one - I was only 7 when Benny Green walked through those school gates at the start of the first episode so it was probably a little too grown-up for me back then but I loved it regardless.I was a big fan as i was just the right age, being at secondary school from 81-86, same year as the second batch of "stars" like Zammo and Roland.
We got Britbox recently and all the original episodes are on there. I've watched a few and they are quite incredible little time capsules. Racism, bullying, fighting, smoking etc all goes on every day and let's just say it causes an awful lot less of a stir with the teachers back then than it does now. My kids couldn't believe it.
I hope there's a bit of a nostalgic comeback because it's an overlooked cultural icon of that era.
