They still do these tests in Czech Republic. Each first wednesday in a month at noon, all the sirens blast around the country. It's beyond idiotic and useless, but you should see the tourists in Prague when this happens
The guy who wrote the Grange Hill theme is Alan Hawkshaw, legend who also did the Countdown theme and other great stuff on organs and keyboards. Still writing music I think, although last I heard he was in hospital after a stroke. Great musician.

Grange Hill scared the crap out of me as a little kid, always thought that's what secondary school was like. Quickly found out it's massively exaggerated. :)
I knew those air raid sirens well! I grew up in the 70s in the forces as my dad was in the RAF, so we lived around the bases. We used to hear those sirens quite often, as there was a lot of stuff going on with Northern Ireland back then, so if there was a major IRA attack the sirens would go off in the middle of the night and my dad would get dressed and grab his steel helmet and rush off to work. Couple of hours later they'd sound the all clear.
Yeah I remember watching that episode, I was worried that something like was going to happen. Also the Canadian high school series Degrassi Junior High covered that issue as well.
only bit of grange hill ive ever seen before was when zammo died. it was on this 50 greatest kids shows thing in like 2012. tell you what it scared the living shite outta me

I am pissing myself at the dramatic zoom ins on that guy's face 😂😂
when i was a kid in the 80s they tested the local air raid siren. it was terrifying!
I remember it as well, a couple of times
Shit I remember that too, I think about midday on a Saturday when I was out on my bike or something... Maybe playing pom-1-2-3

It was originally a theme tune for a different program. They reused it for Grange hill.
His daughter sang on opus 3’s It’s a fine day.
He recently passed away. RIP Alan.

He should look-up clips from the film "Threads". That frightened the life out of me when I was little.
That and ‘The Day After’. Those were brutal and scared the similar bejesus out of me too.
The Grange hill tune was used for the first series of give us a clue.
Watched half of that and couldn’t hack the rest, highly effective in making you fucking terrified of nuclear war
I had a major depression :(
@@vooveksThe Day After is like children’s telly compared to Threads, yank shite

Like most things on TV ... Especially the News.
1970s british public safety films, the most terrifying genre of all time.
I'm pretty sure Aphex Twin used or recreated that sample from Zamo's death scene in a song. Cant remember the name of the track now.
I see ''Roly'' All the time. He a local lad. He always good to talk to. And no he is not as big as he was then.
👍🙂❤️
He also did the voice for the 'Barratt homes' ad
That hill is in Scotland, somewhere near Ayr. We drove out to it when we went to Butlin's when I was a kid in the 80's. True story.
King of Boxer is the arcade game he couldn't guess
Oi loot there’s sam one in tha warta
I watched the first season of Grange Hill a few weeks ago and was hilarious.
She was in The Crown but also Helen from Look & Read : The Boy From Space when she was a girl
The Grange Hill theme tune was also the theme tune to early episodes of "Give us a Clue" on ITV
Wha ??? Really
@@GekoPish Yup! ua-cam.com/video/wTvAf2JipxQ/v-deo.html the tune is called "Chicken Man"
“GiVe Us A ShOuT WhEn YoU’rE ReAdY, I’lL GiVe YoU A HaNd!”
@19:58. I was having the same trouble with the work "look" anaw... Couldnae quite nail it.. Fuckin' doubled over... 🤣🤣
If it was set in a shop not a school it could have been Grange Till hahahaha 😂
He might have seen it in the BBC TV film Threads in which Sheffield got nuked
start of the video: right well thats the end of the stream.
ummm pretty sure its a 23 minute video so it cant be 🤣
That hill not suref the same one is called Hangmans hill in HighBeech Loughton.
"I only want to help you Roland" is still a popular refrain for us back home.

That fact that Limmy looks rougher than Zammo though.
zammo is a teenager. limmy is an adult. there is a difference in appearance... its called age
@@jjlacey1970 ??
@@adudefromtheukvideos your comparing an adults features to a kids features. limmy looks great for his age, zammo looked terrible for his age.
@@jjlacey1970 👍🙂❤️
He missed the bit where they talk about how to remove a dead body
Can you die while just having a toot with the tinfoil ?
13:47 it's like a goblin blahem.
It’s true what you said about the music….used to creep me out too. As for the sirens….that’s too intense
Anyone remember the episode where Kevin took acid and freaked out? Looked like he was gonna jump from an upstairs window?
Yeah I remember watching that episode, I was worried that something like was going to happen. Also the Canadian high school series Degrassi Junior High covered that issue as well.
Play that air raid siren in Greenock and the people here wouldn't bat an eyelid.
Does anyone get the Simon Cowell reference?
Of course London put the nuclear arsenal off the Scotland coast near Glasgow.
Yeah highly recommend ''THREADS''
Gripper Stebson,the Teddy Boy bully
Oi look there's someone innawawta
Dark and Lonely Waters
polished floors, you might as well put down a mantrap. anyone remember
Does anyone remember The Machine Gunners? Scared the shit out of me as a little kid
Brilliant 👍🙂
PSA's were scary as fuck
This aged nicely.

We've gone from being instructed to turn our homes into nuclear bunkers to mocking preppers for thinking for themselves.
Not liking this boss's unreasonable prejudice against junkies, but then it was the bad old 80s.
