Wow!!! This is what I'm talking about!! What a great time to be growing up, the best era ever!! The time machine is finished, I've got the cassette's Harrington jacket is on, who's coming back to the 80's? 👍😎
Thank you so much for uploading this. I gave up looking for it a few years ago. The theme tune randomly came to mind and it prompted me to search YT once again. At last.... somebody has uploaded it. Good old days in England. Pubs closing at 10.30pm midweek and Sundays & 11pm Fridays & Saturdays. TV stations shutting down around midnight, and the only worry we had back then was if your giro would land through your door on time so you could go and get pissed and play the fruit machines. One of Maggie’s Millions. Cheers 👍😊
Tuckers Luck from 1983 to 1985 was very good as well. It followed the adventures of Tucker and his mates from Grange Hill after they had left school. The lead role was played by Todd Carty who also starred in East Enders many years later.
just binged watched the entire series on a porch in Alabama 40 years after seeing it as a young teenager :) Thank you for the upload - on to Tucker's Luck!
Loved this show. If I remember correctly it was one of the first programmes on C4 back in 82.unfortunately the transmission signal was bad for the first few months just like CH5 in 97.got to watch it properly. Can't wait
Paul Lepine they sure don't mate. Old series like this is like looking back in time. I can't remember what I did last week but when I watched these again so many memories came flooding back! Thanks again Paul. P.S. Any chance of you uploading 'One Summer'?
Filmed in my home town of Portsmouth, few mentioned the future Bill stars, but Mark Francis (blonde one) was in the band In the Only Fools and Horses scene, and his girlfriend was the barmaid in Only Fools as well. Same production company went on to create Radio Phoenix couple of years later with 2 of the actors form this show.
I was searching for this for years. Watched it when I was in my early teens and loved it. Dreamt about it the other night and with Google and UA-cam managed to find your upload. Thanks.
+emenveeuk Yes - a big part of my youth/growing up! I have just today loaded the first part of the final episode if you are interest - part 2 to follow. Thanks for commenting - appreciate it.
I’ve thought of this often over the yrs loved it when it was on, I was a little skinhead at the time, brought back loads of memories,thanks for uploading.
+al n - Love the music too - had the opportunity to buy it as a vinyl single in the early 80's but I decided it was too expensive (a couple of pounds I think!!!!!) If only .....
Hello Kirk - I have already loaded them all on to You Tube around a year ago? The only problem people may have is the last episode as apparently it is copyright protected?
I've been looking for as long as youtube exists to see this series again. I saw it in the early eighties in the Netherlands and I didn't know how it was called in English. The title song always stayed in my head and a year ago I rediscovered it. Thanx for posting!!
For some reason it lost its air of mystique when they repeated it on ch4 , You had to have watched it first time around , last thing at night on ITV before the closedown , then school next morning!
Made by the brilliant regional ITV contractor, Southern Television, and broadcast, if memory serves, in 1981. Great programme, and really glad that so many people remember it
As a Dutch kid at about the age of 20 I saw this series in the early 80ies. I loved it! The title song always echoed a bit in my head. Took me long to find this series. In Dutch it had a different name than the English gave.
I remember watching this in the "t v. room" in the youth club as a 14 year old, There was another similar series on itv, I think it was set in london, maybe on a Sunday night. not sure though.
Thought I would watch it all again. I remember leaving school in '81 in Basingstoke. So looking forward to the last day and when it came, I thought feck! What am I gonna do now. Work was out of the question, but 100 quid a week in todays money for some kid that still lived rent free with his parents was ok! Happy days. Where did all that time go!
Fantastic, I Remember Watching This On "Live" Television In The Late Seventies/Early Eighties, Really Trippy. Cheers For The Upload, "Utterly Remarkable" ACTUALLY Extraordinaire !! C'est Bonne/Daisuki DESU !!!
@@paullepine4765 The characters epitomised parts of each of us, the banter was exactly the same, the worries over college or work, the interaction with parents, subject matter, girls, etc... fuck me, there were equally as shit times as there were good times but, maybe the early 80s weren't too bad after all!
@@jaapseiye2246 i was joking mate. It was a sexual innuendo but yeah mate i get you, i was one of the YTS kids as well but i was early 90s so got £29.50 lol
A band called the Jugg. I remember seeing this series when it came out on Dutch TV in the early eighties. I really liked it and remember seeing: 'Theme by The Jugg' in the title roll. IMDB also gives 'Jugg Music' in the Soundtrack Credits. However, unfortunately I've never found any trace of them since and I assume they were a one-time studio band. After some cyber-sleuthing I found out they also had the same credits for the soundtrack of inter alia 'The Flockton Flyer'.
@@bertsbooks2505 yeah i heard lots of diffent things,i got my info from a website set up for this great show ,but sadly it closed down years ago,also heard the backing band were pupils from the school.
My Uncle Directed it. It's (still!) my favourite thing he's done. I guess I was the perfect age for Going Out back then.
Well done Uncle!
I'm 61 and loved this series back in the day ..❤️
Wow!!!
This is what I'm talking about!!
What a great time to be growing up, the best era ever!!
The time machine is finished, I've got the cassette's Harrington jacket is on, who's coming back to the 80's? 👍😎
Best time ever? 80's the best no doubt about it!
totally agree with you, wonderful era. wish I was back there now.
me please!
Brilliant to see this again in 2024...Brilliant series watching in 1981 as a 15 year old.
Such a shame it is not repeated or released....
I left school in 1981. This series perfectly reflected what it was like. Can't believe it was 43 years ago now.
Still good to watch....
I remember sneaking downstairs to watch this from the hallway when my parents were watching it! I loved this show. Thank you for sharing this :)
Glad you enjoyed it - it's amazing the number of people who have!

Who?
I saw this as a kid. Been thinking of this on and off. Now seeing it after, like, 39 years. Ha, it's amazing!
Amazing how popular it is!

Enjoy!
I didn't remember this , like a Tuckers Luck for grown ups. thanks for uploading.
Thank God for UA-cam. A treasure from my youth returned to me. xxx
If only it would get a proper release!
Blimey! This takes me back, enjoyed it as a spotty oik, thanks for uploading!
Loved this program as a kid. 👍🇬🇧
Just had to subscribe mate! I'm 51 now but watching this makes me feel 15 again! If only eh?
They don't make series like this any more ........ Glad you enjoyed
Paul Lepine they sure don't mate. Old series like this is like looking back in time. I can't remember what I did last week but when I watched these again so many memories came flooding back! Thanks again Paul.

Despite the franchise change, why didn't TVS continue making another series?
My age group
@@paullepine4765 I enjoyed it when I was a youth
I enjoy watching this , takes me back. I was about to leave school was this was being shown. Great memories.

This really seems to be so rare? I wonder why it is never repeated/released....
Thanks for the upload. Loved this.
Many thanks for the upload Paul. Great job. Nice trip down memory lane - 35 years now.

Excellent! Been looking for this for 30-odd years.
Wow! how did this come back into my head ... gotta love youtube
I’ve thought of this often over the yrs loved it when it was on, I was a little skinhead at the time, brought back loads of memories,thanks for uploading.
Thanks - I've had loads of similar comments. Why on earth isn't it repeated/released?
"alright, Bri"! ... "oh piss off, Bri".
Fuckin' cracking me up.
Filmed in my old school, in the mid 80's!
Wrong..............................released in 1981
Thanks for posting some of the series, it takes me back, love the theme music.
+al n - Love the music too - had the opportunity to buy it as a vinyl single in the early 80's but I decided it was too expensive (a couple of pounds I think!!!!!) If only .....
Paul Lepine . can you not upload all the series in order
Paul Lepine .yes try and add the full series pls
Hello Kirk - I have already loaded them all on to You Tube around a year ago? The only problem people may have is the last episode as apparently it is copyright protected?
Great to see this again many thanks,
I've been looking for as long as youtube exists to see this series again. I saw it in the early eighties in the Netherlands and I didn't know how it was called in English. The title song always stayed in my head and a year ago I rediscovered it. Thanx for posting!!
It was called Going out in the Netherlands as well. I used to watch it too, being a little ska rudeboy.
@@skatrain007 In my memory it was called 'eindelijk van school'.
@@Aristotelezz I guess you are right. It is such a long time ago.
One of my favourite programs when I was growing up I loved it it was so real
For those that don't know it was filmed in and around Portsmouth.
Superb mate thanks for uploading !!

Superb! Very fond memories of this
Proper bunch of headbangers this mob! Great upload, matey. Ta!!
No problem!
Great series. Two future The Bill stars. Eric Richard, and Andrew Paul.
Three in fact - Nula Conwell was also to go on to star in The Bill. Thanks for your comment.
Don't remember this at all but it's good.
So many well known faces - when they were young! It was compulsory viewing at the time.
Staying in, watching going out.
Staying in, watching going out. Funny that.
Oh this brings back memories from my teens, great to see it again
Finally!!! Nice one.

A Great series starring Amongst others A Paul,Ray Burdis and Linda Robson.
I'd be interested in knowing why the opening and closing themes and credits were cut off. Music rights issues?
I remember watching this when I was pregnant with my son.
I remember this very well, i used to watch all of these on tv around 1980 or 81 when i was 20 years old.
So many enjoyed it - I was a teenager back then.... Just wished it would get another airing even though dated....
Reminds me of where I used to live. So many houses boarded up, the window cleaner had a sander...
Memories!
Fantastic, I Remember Watching This On "Live" Television In The Late Seventies/Early Eighties, Really Trippy. Cheers For The Upload, "Utterly Remarkable" ACTUALLY Extraordinaire !! C'est Bonne/Daisuki DESU !!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Impossible , did not air until 1981 !!!
"Bunny" from Extra's. "Yuma yuma yuma".....lol.
I always remembered this programme for some reason, just turned 50 (ffs!) ... Prob because of the grown up Grange Hill 😂 cheese grater...
😂 the good old days when every actor came from The Bill or Grange Hill..
They don't make them like this now.....more's the pity! Just absolute junk.
So glad I found this. Fucking loved it. We were the same age and it’s a perfect depiction of the times.
So many love this series.......and yet no repeats, no video, no dvd, no streaming? Glad you enjoyed it

Wow don’t remember this, two ex cast members from The Bill, going to have to watch this 👍👍👍
If you watch them all there are three ex bill cast - enjoy!
And a lot of other familiar ' when they where young' faces!
Is that two characters from 'The Bill' in the opening scene... Cryer and Garfield (with hair)?
Cryer and Dave quinnan.
brilliant series, have you got the rest of them, have,nt seen them for 30 yrs
+paul brannan - Yes, I have all 6 - all similar (but watchable) quality though.Never been released as far as I have found.
+Paul Lepine I've looked everywhere. if you could upload the other 5, I'd be very happy to relive my youth
paul brannan I will see what I can do - may take time though to cut and convert etc. I'm a bit of a newbie at this!
It was on after 11pm usually
Was on the dole at the time or a YOPPER.

Yes - and loads of others who went on to become well known.
I think some of them were in the movie Sid and Nancy too.
Quite a few from the cast of 'Scum ' too .
Don't remember this but looks like something i would have watched
It was a cult viewing!
Proper flash back. Cheese grater and the gang 🤭
A whole generation recognises this series ....
Think it was on Friday nights at 1030
Before The Bill the actor who played Sargent Bob Cryer
Amazing how many people have commented on this! Did you also note the actor who plays Dave Quinnan in The Bill as well?
@@paullepine4765 I know that Andrew Paul also I mean who was original cast I mean Eric Richard
Yes!111
Please upload all the episodes.
They are all there! Enjoy.
Fat Alan from love honour and obey 👍👍👍
Opening scene I thought i was watching 'The Bill" from an alternative reality dimension.
So many recognisable faces now.....
I used to fancy the dark haired girl who smoked a lot lol ;)
I was only 16 in "81" to be fair 🤣🤣
Jaws? Michelle Winstanley. I was 17 then - a whole generation grew up on this series! Why haven't they released it???
Appeared in early episodes of Only Fools And Horses as a barmaid.
It's the cast of The Bill
Certainly is...and lots of other familiar faces to boot!
Isn’t that Linda robson ?
Yep - so many well known people when they were young in this series!
Sgt Cryer
And Dave Quinnan!
Who's the band?!
