This episode was filmed in the Arndale centre, Wandsworth. A regular haunt for my grandparents and myself on Saturdays in the 70's. I Remember thinking how cool it was sitting in the same orange seats and upstairs cafe the weekend after this was broadcast. A real trip down memory lane for me, I even remember the shops, Sperrings was a sweet shop...great to see this again!!
Hi, glad you enjoyed this. Every single episode was posted on here, but unfortunately, most of them were withdrawn the other day due to copyright claims. However, the whole series 1 -4 has been officically released on DVD. And yes, some of the actors in EASTENDERS started off in this programme, most notably Susan Tully who played Michelle. :)
Funnily enough I was busted shoplifting in the Wandsworth Arndale Centre back in the day, seems like a life time ago now. I am now more mature and am happily living a chill life on the opposite side of the world.
Madeline Tanner and Cathy Hargreaves get into trouble 👿 😈 by shoplifting at the shop 🏬 by refusing to pay 💰. This is series 2 in 1979. It’s over 40 previous years ago in 2024. Now 45 previous years ago. By 2029, it’s 50 previous years ago. Madeline Tanner was in series 2 and 3 is 1979 and 1980 Grange Hill on BBC1. 👍
I am only 13 and i wish i was born waaaay earlier to watch these episodes.....my mum used to watch this as a child and said she loved it....aparently there are some people from eastenders in here ......?????? does anyone know were i can see EVER SINGLE EPISODE i have only seen the first 8 would be nice to see more :)
Fairly innocent as these days these two would probably have been mugging people rather than nicking record covers. It's like a different world. However, Grange Hill is one of the best shows of all time and I was 11 when this was shown.
+Glenn Cumbria I was a few months old as I was born in December 1979. I just love nostalgia. Nowadays, these two would probably be mugging people to fund their crack habit. Society has got worse.
Correct! This was 1979, and I also remember watching this first time round! This sequence was filmed at the old Wandsworth shopping centre, and was used again in the episode where Anthony Karamanopolis was killed when he fell from the roof (which I have also uploaded)
Remember watching this classic episode back in the early 90's when the BBC repeated Grange Hill from the start. Would be great if they did that again. Think this episode was aired in 1979? I was not allowed to watch Grange Hill back then as my mum considered it a 'bad influence'!! I was eventually allowed to watch it a few years later about 1982. These were the best years of the series.
@abhard6 Don't bank on the BBC repeating these classics. They only want to show cheap shite like Ready Steady Cook, and reality crap. LOL!! I'm getting the DVD!
