Grange Hill Is Over!!

Yeah, good old BBC. Instead of respecting and holding onto the great shows it built its name on once again they turn their backs and walk away..SHAME ON THEM!!! I grew up with this show and whilst it was unlike any real school, they never seemed to have lessons...so much spare time!!! it was still avid viewing. Instead the BBC are going for the cheap option and will be filling the kids line up with more cartoons (particularly foreign ones). The rot started when they abandoned the broom cupboard and instead of employing decent presenters with a degree of talent/maturity such as Pip Schofield, Andy Crane and...the last great one...Chris Jarvis (trainspotter!) they opten for annoying "trendy", noisy youngsters who couldnt keep still and had a total air of "look at me" about them, you could tell they had no interest and had been told by their agents "it was a springboard to other presenting, get yourself noticed, great experience". Now its the women on Milkshake on Ch5 who have adopted the whole broomcupboard feel and are carrying the mantle.

Poor Grange Hill, the names are etched in my head forever, Mr Bronson, Ro-Land, Gonch, Mrs McCluskey, Zammo....legends. It was a breeding ground for young talent who went on to other things, where are all the young stage school stars going to go next, well done BBC...kill a national institution and a breeding ground for your future talent...idiots.
