Hi Paul! Very much enjoying these videos. Robert Leeson...I knew I knew that name! I had the original Grange Hill book (though I think it was by Phil Redmond?), with the shot of Tucker, Benny and Justin (with his head turned away from the camera) charging pell-mell out of the school doors, and the full page illustration of the main character at the start of each story. The only story I properly remember now is the one about Justin in the hospital, and the scene where he decides his nurse is OK because she brings him a full English breakfast instead of the standard-issue hospital fodder. I do however remember being disappointed that Michael Doyle didn't get his own story. There's another Grange Hill book I remember, which might have been Leeson, from later on where Pogo Patterson accidentally ends up with a Mohican hairdo after trying to play a wind-up prank on a wily barber.
