  • Grange Hill is a BritishTv Childrens drama series that ran from 1978-2008. Here is most of the memorable cast members up to 1990.
    This was a difficult one to do, so their is a few missing due to the fact of no adult picture and info available.
    Just wanted to say doing this brought back so many fond memories. I was lucky enough to have a happy childhood, poor with money but rich in spirit and kindness. Being the youngest of 5 brothers we got up to so many memorable adventures! We wasnt greedy kids and learnt that you didnt need the latest gadgets to have a good life. These were the days of a clip round the ear and a lesson learnt. From great memories with my school mates, playing football, scrumping and just generally being cheeky and boistrious, to your out of school mates and your little gangs and meeting girls. Finally to getting on the train and camping sneaking a few beers in for the adventures. Ive meet so many great brothers, mates along the way. life was good to you because you were good to life.

    If you grew up on Grange Hill the feelings & memories of innocence will be forever buried deep in your heart. Every kid from every class room loved Grange, they were like heroes to all us young kids because we were the same age. How Grange Hill made us feel can never be explained. Thank you for this.

    Mark Mahoney: As an Actor in the Grange Hill , I wanted to say I enjoyed this, nice seeing some of my fellow Grange Hill cast, I was in this back in 1978 Series one (extra & Grange Hill football team Goal Keeper). & Series Two EP 14, 1979 on screen Credited part "Gregson's Gang), " Keith Macey", we had such a great time filming this series, and I know we all very much appreciated the support for the show from the fans, ( I even had kids coming up to me asking for autographs, back in the day). The cast came from different "Stage Schools" but we all got on so well, and I met up with Todd Carty on the set of Eastenders years later and he said it was funny how many of us that had been in Grange Hill ended up working together on that series too, My Favorite Director on GH was Colin Cant, a great guy and a Joy to work with, seeing so many of my (real school) friends and fellow actors brought back found memories, so thanks for that, and if any of the fans of the show see my comment I genuinely want to say on behalf of the entire cast & crew a MASSIVE "THANK YOU" to each and every one of you that watched & liked the show, It means a great deal to me, and so I know it will to them.

( But did you or others spot the mistake in Episode 14, I wonder???), I did at the time of filming, and told the crew, but the director said it was fine and would not notice on screen, but it did, when Tucker & friends go up the stairs in Brookdale you can clearly see a big black Camera cable on the stairs, by the railings, In Series one, there is a wide shot of the school playground and in the background you get to very clearly see the lighting rig and stand, again I told the crew I spotted it on the monitor, and they did another "take", but the editing rooms used the "take" that showed the lighting rig, in the end,

    Grange Hill was very relatable and realistic. I remember so many storylines because they were believable topics as to what could happen at any school - bullies, drugs, even crushes on teachers! The teachers themselves reminded me of the diverse personalities and teaching styles in my own school. I wouldn’t want to relive my own school years, but I would watch the Grange Hill series again for some great nostalgia.

      I don't want to relive my own school days either. I hated my time at school. I had nice mates and we had fun but the day I left school I felt FREE! My life just got instantly better. I went to college, got a job in computing and made even better, nicer mates and just had such a laugh. I will never understand people who say "Ah, school days - the best years of my life." For me, they just weren't.

    Tucker, Alan and Benny initially, they were the naughty boys we daren’t be. Later on Robbie Wright and Ziggy were a great duo, very funny characters. Such a trip down memory lane, sadly too many people have passed away, such is life when you’re in your 50’s. Imagine having been in Grange Hill, reading the comments here knowing you had such a profound impact on other people’s lives. Some of these names/faces I haven’t seen since my own school years. Sadly a guy from my school got hit and killed 3 weeks ago whilst walking to work, he never made it to 50, make the most of your time folks, we just get one chance...............

I am not sure why parents were so fearful as, it accurately depicted secondary school and late 1970's and 1980's life for teenagers. I can understand how latterly the relevance to school age children's lives began to dissipate as with the incursion of internet, social media and smart phones... all this technology suppressed story lines.
